Adventures of a Diva Princess

I remember when I was in High School; I spent the last two years of my High School summers learning Baking which is not really a passion but it was summer well spent. Nowadays only a few kids will spend a worthwhile summer unless they get to hear what Informatics College has to offer.

Last April 7, thru the invite of Wazzup Pilipinas which I am a member of, I attended the launch of Informatics College’s the Summer Programs for Beginners (for kids Ages 7 to 15), for school year 2016 to 2017 at Café Enya at Eastwood. We also get to know more information and the latest offering of the school about the Informatics Senior High School: World-class Senior High Education.


Several Informatics personnel namely Ms. Yolanda A. Soliveres, Vice President for Operations; Ms. Charlynne S. Ebetuer, Vice President for Academics; and Ms. Katrina N. Pastor, Vice President for Marketing, shareed with us the latest offerings of the school and what the enrolees can expect from their summer offerings.

They also expound more about the K12 education of the school thru their world-class Senior High education and how their students would be more better prepared in the future than any other senior high-schoolers.

I was in awe of the many summer programs being offered by the school for the summer that can also be taken by people past their school age who like me, would want to learn more about Computer Programming, Digital Media, Computer Game Design, Web Design, Mobile App Development, Digital Animation, Microsoft Office Experts, Development Reading and Creative Writing, and Small Enterprise.


Admit it kids now are more tech savvy and the world of social media is so big you will need to learn more about to navigate your way through it.

Why not obtain your child a slot at Informatics’ latest offerings and register online now! Classes will begin on April 25 for the Summer Workshop. And the good news is you can avail of a 30% discount if you will register from today until April 15, 2016.


Please note that the summer program offerings will only be available at Informatics College Eastwood branch this year.

Informatics College Senior High School program is now ongoing. Avail of it and think how your child’s future can be different in so many ways with their latest offerings.

Iformatics Eastwood is located at ICITE Bldg. Orchard Rd. Eastwood City, Cyber Park, Bagumbayan, (Libis) Quezon City.

They say that to properly assess a good restaurant you need a multiple visit. Dome Cafe is one of my favorite places in EDSA Shangrila Mall. Years ago my boss introduced us to their good coffee, an espresso served together with a cheesecake. I've been back twice after that, the latest last December where we had so much fun tasting a few of their dishes.



What I love about Dome Cafe is their old world European charm. Their trademark espresso-stained wooden floor and their nicotine stained ceiling is the best I've seen. The art exhibit displayed around the entire place is a feast to the eye and this is the works of famous artist Mr. Enrique C. Cachero.

Last Saturday, my friends and I had a feast, literally, as Dome cafe introduces its new menu which they began serving on March 14th.

With 18 years of literally being in the Shang. Loyal diners were asked what the best dishes they love are. Somewhere between their famous and brand new dishes, Dome Cafe came up with a new menu that will satisfy their loyal and new diners.


And this is four of you shouldn't miss dishes while at Dome Cafe. Next of course, to this one of a kind cappuccino.


I'm a sucker for burger so this Classic Burger is the first one I've tried. Made of Dome's Cafe very own flavorful beef patty, they added American cheese, fresh tomato, fresh onion and bacon. The cheese added more flavor to the burger and served with sweet potato chips this burger is really a must eat one.

Classic Burger, P420

Another favorite is the Vegetarian Sandwich. Served open face on pizza bread, tomato, onion, zucchini, bell pepper and mushrooms were roasted and drizzled on with basil pesto and feta cheese. The result is one delicious and healthy sandwich that even non vegetarian will love and enjoy.

Vegetarian Sandwich, P340

Another favorite is the Classic Primavera Pasta. I love Dome Cafe's pasta but this pasta is excellent. You can taste the broccoli, zucchini, asparagus and cherry tomato that has been tossed in butter, parmesan cheese and cream sauce over the linguine pasta.

Classic Primavera Pasta, P295

But the best is yet to come when the Salmon and Egg Mayo Sandwich is served. I love the combination of smoked salmon, egg mayo spread and asparagus

Salmon and Egg Mayo Sandwich, P480

These four are just my personal favorite and what I can eat everyday because it's so delicious.


Other new dishes are the Mixed Grilled Sausages, Garden Salad, Hungarian Sausage Sandwich, Sweet and Spicy Grilled Salmon, Sausage and Egg on Toast and the bacon and Egg on Toast.

Garden Salad, P370

Hungarian Sausage Sandwich, P370

Mixed Grilled Sausages, P455

Sweet and Spicy Grilled Salmon, P610

And this what they have come up with. New dishes to love, new drinks to consume and an Accoustic night  to cap off your weekend. 



And other good news to Dome's loyal diners is the Dome Connoisseur Card. It is the official loyalty card of Dome Cafe with exclusive rewards and promos.. It was launched last January with its new card design which showcases the beauty of the store.



The cardholder is entitled to the following benefits:

  • 10% discount for all purchases
  • Free one time drink of his choice from any of the handcrafted espresso beverages (except premium coffees) to be claimed upon purchase using the car
  • Exclusive partners to perks with partnrs and tie-ups
  • Exclusive invites to Dome special events
  • 20% discount on ne menu items within the first week of launch
  • Birthday treat for a minimum bill of P2500 within the birth month (requires presentation of valid ID card containing date of birth information)



For you to avail of the Conno card, you must visit the restaurant at least 3 times and have your cards stamped. Once you have completed the 3 stamps, you will be given your Conno plastic cards and be eligible for wonderful benefits from Dome Cafe.


All in all, my latest Dome Cafe experience is superior as well as memorable, their high quality and delicious new dishes is something you should try. You can also enjoy their accoustic night where you can enjoy unlimited cocktails for just P300. The new menu is a smart concept for a restaurant that has been thriving for 18 years now and what did not change is their savvy service and the wonderful staff  who always make it a joy to eat and dine at Dome cafe.

From afar I could already see the black and white signage that is Megawatt – Pizza. Chicken located at N.Domingo cor Gilmore. And this is where I tasted the most flavourful Tex-Mex cuisine for my lunch.

Although it is not yet officially open, they have their soft opening for a month now, the restaurant is completely finished. Located in the upper floor of LG2 Carwash Station’ you can have lunch or dinner here while waiting for your car to be cleaned.

Upon entering, the sight that will get the most of your attention is the collection of toys and shoes in one big glass cabinet. I thought it was a collection on display but I was told that most of them are for sale. I want to take home the big Iron Man doll. I know they don't call it a doll.

Megawatt is not your typical chicken and burger joint and as the name implied you might be wondering where the name Megawatt came from. recent visit to one of the power plant stations in the Cotabato where cement-finished flooring, solar panels and bright yellow power generators caught their eyes and sparked the idea of having a restaurant theme patterned from it. Taking the concept to a whole new level, the owners emphasizes on it being an Eco-friendly dining place wherein everything from the cups to utensils are made from recyclable materials; the restaurant is powered partially by clean energy provided by the solar panels, diners can see how the panels can create a renewable source of energy through sunlight alone.

Also, some of the tables are made from solar panels. and those decorative lights from the ceiling is powered by the two solar panels that can be seen outside.

The kitchen staff are dressed in sky-blue grocers’ jackets and dark gray caps, and the counter is propped with drinks and bottles of sodas and teas and of course alcoholic drinks. You can order in the mini window and they will also serve you thru it.

Most of the dishes comes from Tex-Mex cuisine and they are savory, full of flavor and the taste just explodes in your mouth. Almost everything is a bestseller but my favorites are the chicken and pizza. And of course who can forget their coffee and the best House blended Currant, it's not a sin to consume a few cups of it just as long as you devour their burrito, chicken, pizza and the juiciest burger in this side of Quezon City.









Megawatt is Located at 41-A N. Domingo corner Valencia St. in the heart of horse-shoe village in Quezon City, bordering Robinson Magnolia and in front of LG2 Carwash Station comes an electrifying eat-while-you-wash dining concept. Apart from having a uniquely themed restaurant, diners can feast their eyes with the wide array of limited edition toys, and memorabilia that will be showcased inside the dining area, where some of which can be bought by diners. 

To the car enthusiasts, and the yuppies who loves to take care of their cars as much as eating great food, be ready to be served by one of the friendly power plant maintenance and engineering team in full jump-suit mechanic outfit that will fix you an electrifying Tex-Mex meal from the menu composed of a wide selection of pizza, Megawatt signature fried chicken recipe and a burrito recipe rivaling one of the best in town.

In this year Shell Eco-Marathon Asia, Michelin has joined forces once again with Shell and focuses on Innovation technologies that will ensure road safety and better mobility for its customers. When they first started with SEMA in 2014, Michelin underscores the need for tires to deliver total performances for it to be safe, energy efficient and long lasting.



During the participation survey they did this year, Michelin studies shows that only 40 percent of their customers know what tire is good for their cars and the real functions of their tires. It was said that if more customers know how their tires function there could be less accidents in the roads.

During the Press Conference at Manila Hotel

With innovation as this year’s theme, participant teams are asked to look for new approaches to create safe and energy-efficient vehicles that promote sustainable solutions.

The Shell-Eco Marathon is an international competition that challenges student teams from various parts of the world to create economical, environment-friendly and dependable prototype vehicles. MICHELIN continues to be the Official Global partner and Tire Supplier of the SEMA in 2016 and will provide technical assistance and support to the participating teams throughout the competition.

“Innovation is Michelin’s key strategy and driving factor for the search of new technologies leading to ideas, products or methods that improve road safety and mobility for all motorists, passengers and pedestrians. Michelin’s alliance   with Shell furthers this search by seeking out the ideas   of students in the Shell Eco-Marathon”, said Damien Hallez-Gozzard, Michelin Group Technical Communications Director.


“Shell and Michelin have partnered anew in the Shell Eco-Marathon Asia because we share the same values to pit innovation at the heart of developing better mobility.  Michelin wants to demonstrate our innovation in sustainable mobility by providing ultimate energy efficient tires to students. We also want to share our technological expertise by giving advice about out car suspension.”  Said Michael Nunag, Chief Representative of Michelin Philippines.


Last year SEMA draw a record number of 127 participating student teams from 20 countries in South East Asia and the Middle East.  Teams from Philippine schools also broke records for fuel and energy efficiency. Winners of the different Shell Eco-Marathon this year in Asia, Europe and the Americas may join the first world championship series in London.

This March 4 to 6, the Public is invited to visit the Michelin Safety City at the fanzone on SEMA grounds where the Michelin booth will put on display Michelin Innovation tires like the Michelin Primacy SUV Tire which was launched in the Philippines in February 2016.   The Primacy SUV Tire has 2.2 meters shorter braking distance on wet roads, 6% improved gripped in wet cornering and 1.9 meters shorter breaking in dry conditions.

Visitors are also encouraged to join the Michelin #SaferMobility Facebook photo contest by sending pictures that depict how road safety rules are followed by Pinoy motorists.

You can visit their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/sem16michelin to check the contest mechanics and to know more about Michelin’s quest for safer and better mobility. All participants will receive tokens for the Michelin Fanzone booth, and winning entries will receive a grand prize at the Shell Eco-Marathon.

Dome Café is kind of intimidating to me at first. It’s like a café that is inside a five star hotel where diners is usually dress to kill. But the happy faces of the head waiter as he welcomed me inside made me feel at ease.


Dome Café is located in the far corner of the famed EDSA Shangrila Plaza. It’s been there as long as I can remember. This is a favorite place for people who have just finished shopping or just passing off the time with good food while waiting for loved ones.

As you enter Dome you are welcomed by a splendid setting, it feels like you are in a very chic place in another country.  We chose to seat inside where we have a view outside. The Dome look cosy and the lounge-type atmosphere are made more authentic with its aged leather armchairs and pictures everywhere are displayed on the walls. 

For our mouth-watering starters, they served us the Chicken Fingers, Mozzarella Sticks and the Spiced Sausage.

I could have had all the Chicken Fingers that were served; it’s so tender and crunchy as well.


The Mozzarella Sticks is deep fried to golden perfection and as it was still hot you could see how gooey the mozzarella is. The dipping sauce highlighted the taste of the mozzarella and we enjoyed every bite of  it.




I was waiting for the Spiced Sausages, sausages are one of my favorite foods and Dome Cafe did not fail when I have a taste of the Spiced Sausage. It is not spicy enough to enjoy its meaty flavor.


We ordered three kinds of their popular pasta and we sure glad that we did.

The Seafood Aioli Pasta tasted so fresh and I love how the Olive Oil mixed greatly with the seafood and brings out its seafood goodness the most.


The Tomato Basil with Grilled Chicken Pasta is so flavorful. The pasta is topped genereously with chunks of Grilled Chicken.


What i find really exquisite is their Vigan Longganisa Pasta. Surprisingly it is not salty as i thought it would be and the combination of pasta and the Vigan longanisa is quite delectable.


We were really pigging out that day. I was waiting for the main course but they serve us their two famous sandwiches, the Chicken Pesto sandwich and the Classic Club Sandwich.

The Chicken Pesto sandwich is oozing with large chunks of chicken and lettuce. The pesto drippings are generous and one serving of this is enough with a good cup of coffee or their cold drinks.


The Classic Club Sandwich is not your ordinary club sandwich. It is thick enough with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato and spreads. They served it with fries.



Then the main course finally arrived.

First is the Bangus Belly. Served with best part of a Bangus, its vegetable sidings complement the dish. You need to Squeeze in a lemon first to the fish before eating and you are good to go.



The Grilled Pork Ribs is grilled to perfection. The serving is large enough and when I took a bite the ribs is tender and juicy.



But I don’t think it’s comparable to when I tasted the Grilled Pork Chops. It’s seasoned so well that I find myself tasting more of this.


The Fish and Chips is crispy but soft in the inside. The dip that accompanies it is tangy and perfect for the golden fried fish.


The Roast Beef Belly is coated with enough sauce that it somehow incorporates into the beef. One thing i can tell you, this dish is best eaten with rice.


After all the delicious dishes that were served to us, the arrival of the Chocolate Cake, cheesecake and the carrot cake is enough to make us groan. But who can resist such delicious desserts. It’s almost a sin not to have a bite of it.

The chocolate cake is what ambrosia must taste like to those Greek Goddesses. The chocolate icing that covers the moist cake is slathered generously.




The cheesecake is bursting with flavors and the base is crumbly yet perfectly chilled.



I never like Carrot Cake, may be because it’s still a vegetable and orangey in color but taking a bite of Dome’s Carrot Cake seems like a good idea. I never know that the cake could taste delicious and moist.



With all the food we tasted that day, I say, all of them were fresh and all the dishes had the warmth of home-cooked meal. We were served with only the best quality dishes. The restaurant also has a large selection shakes, juices and cold drinks and all are worth sampling.

Since it was a Saturday, the place was quite full and it is proof enough that the Dome served only high quality dishes. We had a pleasant dining experience with dishes of the most exquisite flavours. For sure I will be back again here at Dome and I highly recommend going here especially after a hard day of shopping or if you just want to relax and have a good cup of coffee and their most delicious cakes.
