  • Manila’s Oldest Indian Restaurant, Kashmir, Now in One Bonifacio High Street, BGC

    Established in 1975, Kashmir is the first-ever Indian restaurant in Manila and the longest-running one at that. The 47-year-old family-run restaurant which first opened in Ermita has now opened in BGC under the new stewardship of Leon Araneta. What started as a means to pass the three sisters’ time has become a well-loved institution in the F&B industry.

    Since then and over a long and colorful past, Kashmir has held on to the idea of “Introducing Indian Hospitality to Filipinos by turning Mystique into Magic.” For 47 years, they’ve been serving traditional North Indian dishes using high quality ingredients including curries, dried nuts and fruits, yogurt, ghee, paneer, fresh vegetables, and premium cuts of meats.

    table four.1
    table one.3

    What to order at Kashmir?

    One of the original founders, Sita Advani, created the recipes in Kashmir. “Having inherited such a wealth of decades-tested recipes from Sita were the greatest gift,” shares Leon Araneta, Kashmir’s new owner. “These recipes are the heart of the restaurant. Her food continues to charm our guests to this very day.”

    At the new Kashmir, classic favorites like the Chicken Tikka Masala, Mutton Seekh Kebab, Palak Paneer, and Rogan Josh are still on the menu. But innovative dishes like Mutton Seekh Burger or the vegetarian-friendly Paneer Burger are also available.

    Kashmir Indian Restaurant

    In keeping with its North Indian roots, Kashmir is bringing its vegetarian and vegan offerings to the forefront. “After my own travels to India, I realized that we haven’t even scratched the surface of the wealth of plant-
    based dishes,” shares Leon. Vegan and vegetarian dishes like the Organic Mushroom Tandoori, Dhal Chana, Okra Curry, and Kashmir Organic Green Salad will make any meat-loving guest happily reconsider their opinions on meatless eating.

    Their delectable food and drink offerings are just a few things that you will swoon over when you visit. At the new Kashmir, design is what will complete your dining experience. They’ve commissioned a Bangalore and Delhi-based graphic designer, Smruthi Gargi Eswar, to share her India. Her art honors her culture’s historical and artistic past but is portrayed from a more contemporary perspective.

    Kashmir Indian Restaurant

    While most of the furnishings are new, Kashmir remains grounded, honoring its past. They have kept wall molding from the original restaurant, forty-year-old chairs from the founders’ homes, and have reused them at the new Kashmir. “These are small details. But they are part of our history that we should care for,” Leon adds.

    Kashmir is located at Level 3, One Bonifacio High Street, 5th Avenue corner 28th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. For reservations or inquiries, visit kashmir.ph or call +639175316023. Follow Kashmir on Facebook and Instagram.

    Kamias Ice Pop

    by Sebastian’s Ice Cream

    We want our frozen desserts sweet, so the idea of kamias— notorious for its sharp, sour taste– being turned into an ice pop would seem preposterous. But for Sebastian’s Ice Cream, it is no different from infusing calamansi into desserts. This ice cream flavor strikes the right balance between sweetness and citrus taste, delivering a refreshing treat for everyone.

    Polvorones Gelato

    by Gelato Manila

    Another must-try flavor from Gelato Manila is their Polvorones, inspired by the popular pasalubong. Made with a special milk base, this gelato is layered with the crumbly polvoron, making it a proper fusion between two sweet snacks.

    Tinutong na Kanin Gelato

    by Manila Creamery

    Nobody probably thought that tinutong na kanin (burnt rice) and gelato would ever be used in the same sentence, let alone be actually fused together as a treat! Alongside their very local flavors, such as the Mangga’t Suman, Tablea Lava Cake, Davao Chocolate, and Chocnut Crumble, Manila Creamery also offers this gelato that really captures one’s curious palate.

Now you can treat your ice cream snacking as a part of your skincare routine!

    Shoyu Caramel Ice Cream

  • Here’s Your Chance to Try Local Sampinit Berry Ice Cream This Summer

    Have you ever tried Sampinit Berry? Now is your chance to try this local berry grown at the foot of the mountains of Mount Cristobal in Laguna and Mount Banahaw in Quezon.

    For summer (until the crops last), local ice cream shop Sebastian’s Ice Cream is featuring the raspberry-lookalike Sampinit in the spotlight with their collection. Flavor and texture-wise, it is less tart than locally grown strawberries and has small seeds that have a crunch exterior. These berries are extremely seasonal with their availability only from January to April, so you better have a taste while you can.

    Sampinit Berry Ice Cream Collection

    The Sampinit Season is a dairy-based ice cream made with fresh sampinit berries. It reminds me so much of Sebastian’s strawberry flavor but has a much lighter and delicately tart taste, and is garnished with more whole Sampinit berries to munch on. If you’re looking for something dairy-free and vegan-friendly, try the Sampinit Sorbet which is a fruit sorbet made with fresh sampinit berries, filtered water, cane sugar, and a bit of glucose for texture. Both are priced at P155 per scoop and P465 per pint.

    With things now slowly adjusting into facets of life before the outbreak, new challenges are now on the horizon, such as the rising price of fuel, face-to-face work in the office, long and hassle commutes, things are indeed getting back to “normal .”In spite of all these, Pick.A.Roo remains steadfast in providing a service that makes everyday life simpler. 

    PickARoo Founders Kevin Tan and Crystal Gonzalez

    Together with Kevin Tan, CEO and Co-founder Crystal Gonzalez created PICK.A.ROO and quotes, “PICKAROO is “the must-have app” as we all transition to hybrid work and post-pandemic/  endemic-life. Download the app and save time, money, and a lot of energy. PICKAROO is an all-in-one delivery app where you can get groceries, food, medicines, toys and baby needs, pet care, gadgets, hardware, and home and kitchen all delivered in an hour. Our app is so easy to use we tested it from ages  5  to 85! So simple, you just search or click on the items photos and add to cart from different stores and check out in one go. 

    We are also excited about our new feature as we are the first in the country to make mall- shopping easier with the “Shop by mall ” feature where you can easily shop from your favorite malls and restaurants and get everything delivered together and save on delivery fees. 

    We want all our users to make better use of their time- be able to relax, spend time with their loved ones while we take care of the rest. With one click, we can do all their grocery shopping and hopping (S&R, Landmark, and The Marketplace, All Day, Shopwise, Farmer’s Market, and more..) and for days where they don’t feel like cooking, or they got home late, we have all the top brands and favorite restaurants in town. Moms can also have more time as we deliver everything from toys, activities and school,  office supplies, home and kitchen, and all basic appliances. Dads also love us for our gadgets and hardware stores. They can easily get everything from a new Macbook or iPad, SD card,  power bank, or basic tools they need. 

    Everyone is excited to start living again and slowly go back to their normal lives, and Pickaroo is here to make everything much easier.”

    Pick.A.Roo is constantly updated with features to make the online shopping experience thoughtful, fun, and convenient. We simplify your life with great deals updated on the app so that you can enjoy more.
