Flapjacks Back Better Best
Introducing the return Flapjacks' four favorite dishes. Due to insistent public demand, Flapjacks finally gave in and introduced the comeback menu dubbed Back... Better... Best! The four dishes include Mango Exotica, Chicken Stuffed Parmigiana, Lemon-Pepper Pan Seared White Fish, and The Original Hashbrown Burger. Why these awesome foursome was removed from the menu is a mystery but all that's important is that they are back.
Want to win yourself a P1,000 Flapjacks GC? Read on...
Mel and I headed over to Flapjacks Greenhills branch a couple of days ago. I was actually quite apprehensive to go back to Flapjacks given that the first time I ate their food back in Greenbelt when they opened was well... let's just say I wasn't satisfied. Maybe it was because they just newly opened that time but nevertheless, that experience stuck with me.
I wanted to give Flapjacks a second chance and was I sure glad I gave them that chance.
Food came out within 10 mins. Impressive!
We ordered all four dishes of the Back... Better... Best! menu. First we started with the Mango Exotica salad. It's a combination romaine lettuce, California raisins, almonds, croutons, grilled chicken with tangy mango vinaigrette. I really loved it. It the combination of all the flavors was great. I usually don't like the flavor of raisins but this dish complimented it in such a way that it didn't bother me at all. The California raisins was a nice touch as well. Mel didn't like the mango vinaigrette so much because it had a bit of cilantro in it.
Mango Exotica - P195 (Lunch size)
Next up was the Chicken Stuffed Parmigiana. It used that thick Linguini pasta soaked with marinara sauce topped with 4 slices of stuffed chicken breast and cheese. I liked how each bite had that sweet and sour taste of the marinara sauce. The chicken was tender and juicy. This dish was cooked to perfection.
Chicken Stuffed Parmigiana - P325
A light, healthy and simple dish yet outstanding! The Lemon-Pepper Pan Seared White Fish had a slab of thick slice of Dory seasoned with pepper with a side herb rice and veggies. There's a slice of lemon on top so we could control the zest we wanted our fish to have. I appreciate the fact that they used olive oil in this dish. Although the Dory most often gives that pungent fishy taste, the seasoning balanced out that flavor.
Lemon-Pepper Pan Seared White Fish - P295
The only burger I know who used a combination of hashbrown and beef as patty is the Jollibee hashbrown burger. Now I know two! Flapjacks The Original Hashbrown Burger stacks a thick beef patty and hashbrown along with slices of tomatoes and lettuce. Looking at The Original Hashbrown Burger in front of me, I wasn't expecting that it would be anything out of the ordinary. But when I took the first bite, it blew my mind and taste buds. It was a mouthwatering treat. I loved the combination of the hashbrown and burger patty as well as the veggies. I appreciate that there was no ketchup because it would only ruin the flavor of the whole burger. Yes I know a lot of you probably disagree with me but a good burger should be able to deliver that fantastic flavor without the help of the ketchup. I don't know how they made the burger patty but it was juicy and flavorful. Yum!
The Original Hashbrown Burger - P350

Kuripons - Philippine Coupons
With so many group buying websites sprouting faster than I could count them, you must be wondering why I didn't make a post on it yet. Well, rather than I make a post on the list of group buying sites and update it one by one as they come and go. My partners in Awesome.ph came up with a better idea - Kuripons.com. No longer do you have to subscribe to each group buying sites' mailing lists and clutter your email. Just subscribe to Kuripons.com and get an email once a day on the latest deals in the Philippines.
What is Group Buying?
Before we do start talking about Kuripons.com. It would probably be best to get a bit of a background on what group buying is, especially for first timers who heard of it just now. Group buying started with the site Groupon.com in the US. The concept revolves around "collective buying" or in layman's terms, buying in groups or bulk. The more products you buy, the bigger the discounts you should be able to get.
Advantages
Group buying is great for partner merchants because they get tons of exposure for the deal, given that the website has a substantial amount of traffic already. Merchants agree on the discount offering of their service plus a commission rate for each coupon sold by the group buying website. Best of all, merchants don't have any upfront cost. They only pay for the cost of getting each new customer
Group buying is also great for consumers like you and me who likes to take advantage of the deal offering. We get to try out the product or service for a discounted price. Now who would be crazy enough to say they don't like that right?
Regardless of how each group buying sites say how they do things differently, they must admit that they owe it all to Groupon. It was Groupon that ignited this business model. I would be lying if I said that we didn't start our website Awesome.ph because of Groupon.
Kuripons.com
Keeping track of all the group buying websites here locally are like keeping track on how many times you sent an SMS on a day. That's just one side of the picture. You also need to keep track, or at least note, of the group buying sites that are competent on delivering their deals.
Kuripons.com does all that and more for you. Kuripons only selects websites that are active and offer legitimate and fair deals. Best of all, it get's delivered to your email inbox in one organized manner, one day at a time. NO more cluttered group buying site emails. You could also choose to subscribe via Twitter of Facebook although you might miss a good deal if you weren't able to catch it.
Kuripons.com currently lists almost all local and active group buying websites in the Philippines.
Soon enough, we will put more developments into the site to make it more useful for everyone.

FREE European Films 2011
Synopsis:
Exchange (Schimb Valutar, 2008)
- The film follows a factory worker who sells off all of his belongings to finance a move to Australia, only to get conned out of his money. In typical Romanian style, the film can be pretty bleak, but it also manages to be intensely human. Set during the aftermath of the Romanian revolution, the film explores people in a state of change, looking for brighter and better things but finding suffering along the way.
- The film follows a young writer who travels to a remote Bulgarian village to record a song for his best friend. His best friend is in America and in a coma, and he hopes that the song, which is said to revive the dead, will help bring him back into the world. Letter to America explores the struggle between the old and new Bulgaria, revealing a rich culture cut off from the rest of the world, and a generation of young people disconnected from their roots.
- Is the kind of film that people either really love or really hate. In either case, its propensity for eliciting strong opinions makes it worth a look. The film takes place in a mysterious desert Casino where the “god of chance” (Max Von Sydow) facilitates a series of games for four, tenuously connected characters. The film crafts extravagant set pieces that explore the philosophical ramifications of the very concept of luck. It’s heady, sometimes ridiculous stuff. Some people will have their mind blown. Some will just scratch their heads and wonder what all the fuss is about. Both reactions are surprisingly valid.
- About how the quiet life of a couple changes after the husband faces unlikely encounters during his travels.
- About a doctor who travels to the Thai-Burmese border and gets caught up in the affairs of a refugee camp. All of these films are well intentioned, shedding light on some of the great injustices that took place in the world. But the films place drama ahead of the truth, and often come off as a bit superficial.
- Revenge and retribution is the name of the game where siblings Robby and Louise attempt to rob the bank that forcibly banished their parents from their apartment after their father lost his job; and Belgium’s Long Weekend, where two ex-factory workers kidnap their former boss to make him pay for the damages he caused his workers when his company went bankrupt.
- Two ex-factory workers kidnap their former boss to make him pay for the damages he caused his workers when his company went bankrupt.
- A young urologist and healer who gets into a relationship with the dictator Stalin, and is cast under his manipulative spell.
- About a mental patient who believes that she's royalty. She’s being treated by a doctor who's a little too eager to try out all sorts of new medical techniques in the treatment of schizophrenia. Though the premise might sound like a recipe for treacle, Princess can be a surprisingly complex depiction of mental illness and treatment in the forties. There are no easy heroes or villains; just people trying to do their best with the limited information that they have. The cast is madeup of some of Finland’s greatest actors, their talent bringing that complexity to life.
- The journey of 11-year-old Abu, who is kidnapped and forced to join the war. Follow a white restaurant owner in Africa as he sets out to find a friend's missing son, only to find a camp training child soldiers.
- About a man who returns to Slovakia seeking a divorce in order to remarry. His fiancee, afraid that he might stray, hires an actor to keep an eye on him. The film is a funny look at a couple of people coming face to face with the people they've become, and the people that they used to be.
- It tells the story of a journalist kidnapped by terrorists who eventually escapes thanks to the help of one of her captors. Their paths cross again, leading to a tense and difficult confrontation. The Escape is a pretty conventional thriller, and it falls into many of the traps of the genre. But if the goal is to get the blood pumping, then the movie certainly succeeds.
- About the adventures of two young men—one is trying to master wine making after inheriting his grandfather's vineyard, while the other is a small-time crook and ladies' man.
- Brothers Aram and Assadour, who have not seen each other in a long time, attempt to reunite but get stuck in the travails of a war between countries.
- It follows three female detectives working cases that end up affecting their personal lives. One of them is tasked with infiltrating a factory and finding dirt on a manager trying to form a union.
- Pretty much what the title says, following Goethe in his years as a law student, in love with an alluring young woman named Lotte. It chronicles German poet Johann’s love affair with the beautiful yet feisty Lotte Buff, which ultimately inspired his literary masterpiece, The Sorrows of Young Werther.
- Childhood friends come to terms with their love for one other while preparing themselves for the haunting reality that awaits them.
