Last month we went to Silay City, Negros Occidental to attend the Visayas leg of the Philippine Blog Awards. Outstanding bloggers, old and newbies were awarded that day and we got the chance to meet and network with the Negros Bloggers as well. I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate them for a job well done!

Fresh Start Organic Farm

But what I was excited most was the Silay City tour the next day and one of the highlights of the tour was when we went to Fresh Start Organics Farm. We were met there by the owner Mr.  Ramon “Chin-Chin” Uy, Jr.  and his staff.

Fresh Start Organics is a privately owned company which was founded in 2005 by Mr. Ramon Uy and his wife Mrs. Francine Uy. They actually first started as producers of organic fertilizers and their company has grown into a business whose expanded product range includes not only certified organic fertilizers, but also fresh and let me say it again “ORGANIC” produce, organic rice, organic coffee (my favorite!) as well as organic pigs (they are vegetarian pigs) and free range chickens. Other additions to Fresh Start’s product lines include Healthy Pantries and Natural Personal Care products.

Minute Maid Pulpy Orange Goodness – No Preservatives!

I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe… I have my facts wrong all along. And all this time I have been hearing the wrong things from the wrong people. But it has been my understanding though that everything canned or bottled must have preservatives, right? I guess this time I’m wrong. But Minute Maid tastes like the real deal I must say!

I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it’s got no preservatives added.  So I read the ingredients (even the fine print) and everything checked out! It really has NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED!  That means it doesn’t have ingredients that may turn out to be allergens, or worse…carcinogens!  Whew! Now that’s healthy goodness that tastes so good, I… am so happy to learn about this and it gives me more reason to drink this pulpy goodness all the time without any worries.

So okay, it’s got no preservatives added. That’s really good, right?  Not just because it doesn’t have those icky, harmful ingredients, but it also means… Minute Maid is all natural, it’s real fresh orange juice so people like me who normally do not find the time to extract fresh juice every day can enjoy this drink instead!

Meshi Japanese Buffet at Days Hotel's The Promenade

If you are craving for Japanese food or care for fresh, smooth cuts of tuna, then Meshi – a Japanese Buffet at The Promenade will surely satisfy your desires. Meshi is a Japanese word which means “boiled rice.” But at The Promenade, you can gobble up everything from sashimi, sushi, cold seafood, grilled and fried meats, tempura and of course the unforgettable array of desserts. Tastefully decorated, this place is suitable for a short retreat from the maddening world outside.

The Promenade’s Japanese Buffet is at Days Hotel Iloilo every Wednesday and I was invited with some bloggers to experience it a couple of weeks ago. They have struck the winning formula of attracting diners with a decent spectrum of Japanese favorites judging by the number and quality of diners they have attracted. The concept also appeals to families and those who hanker for a relaxed dining experience with friends where they can eat and laugh heartily.
