Happy Living Philippines Corporation today announced the launch of Herbie Hard Seltzer, the iconic sparkling alcoholic beverage designed for savvy drinkers who seek a refreshing alcoholic beverage alternative to beer or wine without having to compromise on health goals.
At just 95 calories and 1.7g of sugar per serving, Herbie Hard Seltzer is made of 100% natural fruit flavor and no artificial ingredients. In addition to being vegan and gluten-free, each serving also contains 30mg of Vitamin C. Herbie Hard Seltzer makes it possible for health-conscious drinkers to enjoy a refreshing alcoholic beverage they can feel good about.
“We’ve witnessed the phenomenal growth of the Hard Seltzer category in the US led by a global consumer movement toward healthier lifestyle choices and are proud to offer an alternative to the Filipino consumer who wants to live life to the fullest while maintaining a healthy lifestyle” said Julian Gagliardi, General Manager, Happy Living Philippines Corporation. “Herbie Hard Seltzer defines a whole new category in the all-natural, better-for-you alcoholic beverage offering in the Philippines and will set the stage for future innovations to come.”
Herbie Hard Seltzer is the brainchild of 3 friends who shared an epiphany at a house party one day; there was no alternative available for someone who enjoyed the refreshment of beer but not its taste. The ready-to-drink alcoholic beverage category was also saturated with offerings full of sugar, artificial flavorings and additives. The challenge was born that evening to create a refreshing beverage alternative to beer that would be available in delicious fruit flavors using only natural ingredients that are better for us.
The 5% ABV Herbie Hard Seltzer is available in three refreshing bursts of flavor:
Lychee – Like your first kiss, our Lychee Seltzer will engulf you in its beautiful floral aroma and elegantly sweet finish
Pineapple – Oozing vibrant tropical flavor that balances the tastes of sweet and tart, our refreshing Pineapple Seltzer reminds you of the first time you had ice cream with fries – mind-bending and oh-so delicious.
Lime – Crisp and Refreshing, our Lime Seltzer promises more Zest than a Zig-Zagging Zebra.
Herbie Hard Seltzer will be conveniently available in 250ml can format and can be found at all Robinsons Marketplace stores starting April 1. To find Herbie Hard Seltzer near you, please visit www.herbiehardseltzer.com or learn more at @herbiehardseltzer on Instagram.

Ready your palates for take-off and taste the rich flavors of Japan from the comfort of your own home!
Pia’s Kitchen, a CloudEats brand created in collaboration with none other than 2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach, is set to deliver different cuisines from around the world through their traveling menu which changes cuisines every few months. Right now, their menu offers sumptuous dishes from Japan perfected for deliveries and home consumption.
In case you didn’t know, CloudEats is a restaurant group that operates with cloud kitchens, meaning they are solely available for delivery. Thus, they make sure that their food remains presentable, IG-worthy even, and the quality remains throughout the whole delivery process: from their kitchens to your door!
Before becoming a beauty queen and the Miss Universe, Pia Wurtzbach studied culinary arts at the Center for Asian Culinary Studies (CACS). At a recent exclusive tasting event for Pia’s Kitchen held at the CloudEats Test Kitchen in BGC, Wurtzbach recalls how she started this business venture.
“It’s been a while since I got in touch with my culinary roots, but it’s always been at the back of my mind. I love food, hindi na mawawala sa’kin yan. Especially now that I’ve been traveling a lot, I’ve been exposed to so many different cuisines and flavors, and it’s been such a dream. Also now that I’m in a phase in my life where I really wanna have my own businesses, I am really into trying my hands at entrepreneurship. So when the opportunity came to work with CloudEats on a project like this, I said yes right away because it was exactly what I was looking for,” the beauty queen shared.
A trip to Japan through food
While Pia’s Kitchen is set to deliver different food from different cuisines, each menu is carefully curated by Pia and Chef Carlo Miguel to really tackle your tastebuds with its chosen flavors for the season. Their current Japanese menu, for example, really embraces the food in Japan that carry both quality and convenience.
During the tasting event, we started with a sampler of their Spam Sando, a filling sandwich that combines the lip-smacking flavors of SPAM, scrambled eggs, spring onions, and their Umami Sauce.

For sandwich lovers, they also offer other Sandos such as the Beef Sando made with a homemade beef patty, cheddar cheese, caramelized onion, and Umami Sauce; their Kani Sando with Spicy Kani and hardboiled egg; and Quorn Katsu Sando with Quorn Fillet, Teriyaki and Umami Sauce, and fresh cabbage.
If you’re going for some greens, their Salmon Teriyaki Salad is really a solid choice. Its perfectly seared salmon glazed in Teriyaki Sauce is so soft and rich in flavor while the combination of fresh vegetables and fruits– Romaine, red cabbage, cucumber, mango, red onion, and quinoa– further elevated by their Asian Salad Dressing really freshens up one’s palate.

If you’re a fan of spicy food, you can also try their Spicy Kani Salad made with fresh greens, furikake, ebiko, and ripe mangoes mixed with a salad of Kani with a spicy mayo dressing.
The love for a hot bowl of rice with some flavorful ulam is something we Filipinos and the Japanese share. At Pia’s Kitchen, you can choose from a tempting roster of donburi meals!
We got to try their Chicken Katsu Curry, which has a Panko-crusted chicken thigh fillet that has tender meat under its crispy coating, a separate curry sauce you can add to your liking, and pickled red onions, jicama, and carrots to garnish. The striking flavor of the curry really speaks authenticity, beckoning the diner to chow it all down in no time.

Another rice meal we got to dig into is their Beef Gyudon. Thinly sliced, its beef is really tender and bursting with flavor. The poached egg also gives this flavor balance while the onions complete the components for every satisfying spoonful.

Aside from these two, here are more donburi meals from Pia’s Kitchen: Pork Katsu Curry, Pork Katsudon, Salmon Teriyaki Bowl, and Beef Curry Rice. If you crave something more packed with flavors and ingredients, they also have a Spam Musubi Bake made with sushi rice, Spam cubes, Tebasaki sauce, savory cream cheese, and furikake.
As for their desserts lineup, we got to try a sampler of their Egg Tart, which has a crisp and flaky tart and a soft custard center that has the right amount of sweetness. They also have the Milk Tea Egg Tarts which are infused with milk tea flavor and topped with boba pearls. Finally, their Original Basque Cheesecake offers a light and rich cheesecake with a deep caramel exterior.
If you’re ready to dig into these delicious Japanese dishes before Pia’s Kitchen takes us to its next destination, ordering is hassle-free and just a few taps away! Their dishes are available 24/7 via GrabFood with prices ranging from P150 to P300.

Breakfast is considered as one of the most important parts of one’s day.
As the first meal of the day, eating breakfast helps kickstart your body and your mood. It has always been an integral part of Philippine culture. Local cuisine is not complete without the Filipino breakfast, with the simple but versatile pandesal as its most iconic staple.
A breakfast prepared by family or a loved one is a sign of love and care. This is because a satisfying Filipino breakfast not only fills your tummy; it can also put a smile on your face and put you in good spirits.
Unfortunately, Filipinos are also recently more inclined to skip breakfast, either due to the heavy demands of day-to-day life or the misconception that a good breakfast is fuzzy and difficult to prepare.
Preparing a full meal at the start of the day can seem like a task daunting for many, given the responsibilities an average Filipino has to accomplish on a daily basis. This isn’t surprising. A 2021 study has named Manila as one of the most stressful cities in the world, for instance.
Ironically, this is also the reason why a good breakfast is a necessity for Filipinos. A satisfying breakfast can give you the boost to turn your dreary morning into a light and positive event, something to look forward to every day. Filipinos deserve better, sweeter mornings.
Nutella, the popular hazelnut cocoa spread, has always aimed to help Filipinos start their day with Happiness. For the month of April to May, Nutella launches a series of new Good Morning label jars.
The new, limited-edition Nutella Good Morning packs are Nutella jars with its label replaced with positive and joyful messages to help remind Filipinos to start the day better.
The Nutella Good Morning pack phrases—namely, “Tara, Breakfast!”, “Good Morning!”, “Musta?”, and “Gandang Umaga!”—are good reminders for you and your loved ones to start the day on a sweet note.
The limited-edition Nutella jars are also a good way to greet and express your love, a way to share the gift of a good morning with a good breakfast. It is a perfect gift to friends and loved ones!
Of course, more than the jar, what makes Nutella a good part of any Filipino breakfast is its high-quality cocoa and hazelnut flavor with a chocolate taste that delivers intense satisfaction with just a small amount.
Its signature smooth, creamy texture makes it a great breakfast companion as it is easy to pair with many readily available bread products and baked goods to make them sweeter and tastier effortlessly.
A jar of Nutella can make any breakfast into an exciting meal, without the need for elaborate, time-consuming preparation.
With Nutella, mornings are better not just for individuals or busy professionals but also for families who want to make their first meal of the day sweeter.
To make your mornings even more exciting, Nutella is launching a limited edition Bread box in collaboration with Wildflour Café + Bakery. The box is designed in the shape of a Nutella jar and contains Nutella copetta packs, a Nutella bread spreader, and a number of popular Widlflour Café + Bakery baked goods to help turn your breakfast into a special meal. Sending the bread box to your friends or your loved ones is also a subtle way to let them know you care for them.
The Nutella and Wildflour Café + Bakery box will be available starting April 23 at Widlflour Café + Bakery or via online at www.wildflourtogo.com.
Nutella’s special Good Morning jars are available in most grocery chain stores nationwide.
It has been hot and humid these past few days, and what better to refresh ourselves than Nono’s summer menu? Available only until May, the new summer menu features bounties of the sea and the return of a classic Nono’s dish.
Begin your journey into the sea with a serving of Mediterranean Salad with Shrimp which has mixed greens, dates, candied walnuts, julienned apple, feta cheese, and plump shrimps tossed in a refreshing balsamic vinaigrette dressing and drizzled with honey. It’s light, crisp, and every bite is so indulgent!
Mediterranean Salad with Shrimp Salmon Croquettes
Meanwhile, the Salmon Croquettes is best for those who are looking for that irresistible crunch. These breaded salmon cakes are fried until crispy and then served with paprika aioli dip and a side salad. It’s the perfect appetizer to share with your family or friends. The Vongole is another crowd-favorite. This light and flavorful seafood pasta features al dente spaghetti noodles with fresh clams flavored with white wine, butter, olive oil, chili flakes, and roasted garlic. Make sure to wipe your plate clean with the crusty sourdough bread that’s served with it!
Lastly, a holiday favorite makes a comeback this summer! The Steak & Shrimp a la Pobre is Nono’s take on the classic surf-and-turf dish — steak cooked just the way you like it and juicy shrimps sauteed in their special garlic sauce. It’s served with a side of garlic rice so expect a delicious and flavorful treat in every mouthful!
Try these in any of your favorite Nono’s branches until May 30, 2022. Nono’s restaurants are located in UP Town Center, The Podium, Three Central Makati, Festival Mall, Glorietta 2, Power Plant Mall, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, S Maison, High Street South BGC, Uptown Mall Taguig, and Nuvali Sta. Rosa. We’re also on foodpanda, Grabfood, and Pickaroo.
