Longganisa-with-2-piece-Pancakes

Congratulations Mel, Filamay Asturias Beboso and Flor Javier for winning our Jollibee Breakfast Treat + gift certificate. You can now treat 5 of their family or friends to a Jollibee Breakfast Joys meals. Here are the winning comments picked randomly by our friends and Pinoy Food Cravings.

MEL, October 29, 2011
Feed your Mind. Feed your Body. Feed your soul. (1) Feed your Mind- Hug your kids and husband. Feel the warmth and awe of sleeping next to the most important persons in your life. Think how much they made you feel special. Think of things to reciprocate their love too. Think on how your day can be better than that of yesterday. Do some face exercise and SMILE. (2) Feed your Body – Hydrate first thing in the morning. Take a morning stretch. Have a hearty healthy meal , break the fast and share some sweet stories over a cup of coffee with your husband. (3) Feed your soul – Before going back to work or leaving the house, pray for protection, guidance and composure. Meditate over a short devotional note or a chapter in the Bible. Extract some life lessons from your reading and live your day with it in mind. “Resistance is Futile” from Star Trek has been my mantra ever since. Go with the flow. Live it as if it’s your last. Regret nothing and let each day be an opportunity to learn and discover greater things. My fave Jollibee Breakfast Joys meal is Chicken Sausages with 2-piece, Pancakes (reminds me so much of my board exam days for a review along Morayta).

Filamay Asturias Beboso, November 1, 2011
My Top three (3) tips on how to start the day with a bright and positive note: – Start the Day with a Good Breakfast: By eating a good, healthy breakfast that will fills you up as part of your daily needs; you give a kick-start to your metabolism when it needs it most. – Read a positive book for 30 minutes. Reading something educational will mean you are improving yourself, it will run through your mind for the rest of the day and it will become a part of you. Spend some time growing mentally each day. – SMILE With a big smile on your face see how different people react to you when they meet you that day. People will be friendlier, more talkative and easier to approach. Put on a friendly face and people will find you more open and respond in kind. People being friendly would help your day start off right wouldn’t it? ~ Chicken Sausages with 2-piece Pancakes , it will provides energy for the day for any activities that Am I going to do . Best to share with my family / friends that will surely enjoy by us.

Flor Javier, November 2, 2011
3 TIPS TO start a Day with a Bright and Positive Note! • Spend a few minutes being grateful for what you got. This sets you up for a positive mood throughout the day. • Exercise. This will help you release inner tensions and worry and fill the space they occupied within you with new energy. • Do the most important thing first. This is how I start my day. Today I woke up and did my usual morning ritual that ends with doing the most important thing on my to-do list. And so I started to write this article. This not only makes sure that the most important thing gets done each day. It also makes me feel good about myself and makes the rest of the to-do list feel lighter to move through.My favorite jollibee breakfast joys meal is 2 piece pancakes.. and now with chicken sausages!

To get your prices, please contact me at melovillareal(at)gmail.com with your full name, mobile phone number and shipping address where we can send the gift certificates.

Maraming Salamat po:)

Lots of people love food and more and more foodies are now starting their own food blogs because they think “Hey, I love food… I know something about it and I want to share my recipes.” And yet, when you look around – how many food blogs do you see that are really, really good! Not a lot, right?

Strawberry Crepe from Sagada

In my opinion the reason for that is that even if people know great food and have great things to write about food, most start up food bloggers have no idea just how important food photography is and even if they do understand the importance, they may not have the techniques or skills to make their blog posts look delicious. Keep in mind that Food photography really is the key.

Adobong Puti @ Zubuchon

To get good food photos, you need more than just a camera. The truth is that you need multiple people with multiple skills. An amazing chef comes first but after that you actually need a food stylist to set up the food for the shots. Marketing a great dish or product isn’t as easy as cooking and snapping – there is an art to it.

French Macarons from Radisson Blu Cebu

How important is it? Well – it’s been proven that restaurants that use quality photos in their menus sell more food. That alone should convince you…but, you don’t want to hire a food stylist, right? Here are a few tips to turn you into your own food stylist.

Pechay in Oister Sauce

First of all – preparation. Use only the most beautiful ingredients. Make sure the steak is shaped well, pick the lushest tomatoes, and if you need crisper lettuce – soak it in glycerine.

Sweet Mango and Puto Maya from Bohol

If that sounds like cheating – well, come to think of it, it might be – but that’s why the food on the fast food menu always looks more delicious than what you are served. Those perfect steak grill marks? They’re burned on with a blowtorch and a piece of wire!

Chocolate Filled Macarons

Don’t be afraid to make several portions. One is bound to look better than the others. And while you are at it, make sure you use props.

Shrimp Tempura in Golden Curry Sauce

Those colorful herbs to the side or that fresh fish on the counter make your photo more interesting. A plate of cherries behind your bowl of yogurt adds a wonderful and delicious looking contrast. Look at the details of your composition. Make it exciting… Seductive… Flavorgasmic!!

Takla in Coconut Cream

Probably the biggest mistake in food photography is bad lighting. Most of the photos you will see in this post only used available light, in fact I took most of it outdoor or in a table right next to the restaurants window. Light creates mood and even when you are taking a picture of food make sure your white balance, depth, and shadows are working to your advantage. Use substitutes to set up the lighting before the food is ready so that you can take a picture of it when it comes out of the kitchen.

Strawberries from Heaven Dessert

Finally, make sure that you are ready for the shoot when the food appears. If you are doing a restaurant review ensure that you are sitting in a place with great lighting and make sure your equipment is ready to go when the food appears.

One final thing – don’t forget to take a picture before you dive into that delicious meal!

Bread Basket

This is exactly what Holiday Extras thought when they started the Holiday Extras Customer Awards three years ago. Over the past three years these awards have been gathering more and more momentum in the travel world and each year more customers from Holidayextras.co.uk are voting for who they think are the best people in the travel industry at the moment.

There are lots of categories (with more being added each year) to help people sift through what is important to them when it comes to the services they need when they are booking their holiday board or maybe even a business trip.

Here is a list of the winners from the Holiday Extras Customers Awards 201, as voted for by the customers of Holiday Extras.

- Best Airline: Emirates
- Best Airline Cabin Crew: Emirates
- Best Airline for Value for Money: easyJet
- Best Airport: Belfast International
- Best Airport Car Park: Edinburgh Park and Fly
- Best Airport Hotel: Gatwick Sofitel
- Best Airport Hotel Restaurant: Manchester Premier Inn
- Best Airport Lounge: Edinburgh Servisair
- Best Airport Hotel for families: Manchester Premier Inn
- Best Airline for Travelling with Babies: Virgin Atlantic
- Best Airline for Travellers with a Disability: Virgin Atlantic
- Most Inspirational Travel Film: Shirley Valentine
- Best Travel Guide Publisher: Lonely Planet

Over 66,000 people cast their vote this year – which is an amazing achievement as this number of voters is almost triple the number of people who voted 12 months ago. This is proof of just how popular these awards are becoming and with celebrities from the travel world like Simon Calder lending their name to the event (Simon Calder Hosted this year’s awards) then this adds further credence to the event.

Two new categories were added this year and these were the categories for the best travel guide and also a new category for the most inspirational travel film. Holiday Extras are not planning on stopping there either. There are plans to make the awards for 2012 even bigger with more categories and more voters.

Voters were also given a little treat too, as a way of saying thank you for giving their opinion. Voters were entered into a prize draw that saw the winner picked out a random and received a great prize that involved an overnight stay including dinner at an airport hotel two weeks’ worth of airport parking with use of the airport lounge before departure.

Chicken Sausages with 2-piece Pancakes – Php 52.00

Cooking breakfast and starting the day at home is so ideal but that’s not always easy to do and for some reason, I think rushing out the door with toast in your hand isn’t exactly the key to a healthier lifestyle.

Chicken Sausages with Rice and Egg – Php 52.00

I’m grateful that I can find a delicious, filling and even healthy breakfast at Jollibee so that I have the energy and fuel to make my day productive, happy and energetic.

Hotdog with Two-piece Pancakes – Php 52.00

Your mother wasn’t lying when she said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Good thing, Jollibee is offering better breakfasts than ever that even your mom would approve of.

Jollibee Corned Beef Pandesal

The Jollibee Breakfast Joys menu has everything from pancakes paired with chicken sausages to longganisa with two piece pancake pairing to chicken sausage with garlic, rice, and egg. My mouth is watering as I think of it. Priced from P52-P72, you can enjoy coffee with your meal for just P16 more or perhaps you’d rather have pineapple juice or a hot cocoa.

Longganisa with 2-piece Pancakes – Php 72.00

The Jollibee Corned Beef Pandesal brings you toasted pandesal filled with corned beef for just P39. Two Filipino favorites made into one new treat that can be served with a drink or eggs for just a few pesos more.

The Jollibee Breakfast Joys Menu runs daily until 11 am and is available for in house dining, take out, or delivery through 8-7000 Jollibee express. Your mother will be happy that you never have to miss breakfast again.
