There are too many good news that Ms Ai Ai Delas are grateful to share to all her supporters and to her family. Too many blessings that she wants to thank God for giving her a chance to experience everything that is now happening in her life.
And for that she won a Best Actress in the Cinemalaya 2018 for the movie "School Service" directed by no less than Louie Ignacio. She is so thankful for that award and very emotional when she confirmed that she won the Best Actress award.

Another good news that Ms Ai Ai wants to share is the rebranding of their resto, from Ai Sarap to Chang Ai Express. One of the reason of rebranding is the location, most of their patron got confused with the address.

She explains also the meaning of the new name which is the Chang Ai Express: Chang means longevity and she wants her name to be there, always. There are some of the menu from Ai Sarap still offers by Chang Ai Express, and added new food/meals to offers. They also now offers combo meals to fit on the budget because they want their foods very affordable.
 
 




One of their dishes that I tried is their combo meal (fried chicken with siomai). The chicken is so big that is intended to make your stomach full plus the siomai on the side. Love their Mango Sago Medley Dessert, it is perfect for the dish that I ate.

Ms. Ai Ai is also busy with her upcoming movie with Ex Batallion under Viva Films plus her show at Sunday Pinasay and The Clash at GMA Network.

Sancho Vito, Ms. Ai Ai Delas Alas and Chef Ren are the people behind CHang Ai Express.

Chang Ai Express is located at 64 Ignacia Place, Sgt. Esguerra st., coner Mother Ignaciaa, Dilimn Quezon City. For more details log on to www.facebook.com/ChangAiExpressPH

Trying new food that will entice my taste buds is what moms should and must do for the kids. Exploring and experimenting new dishes that will definitely satisfy not only our cravings but also our kids'.

I remember when my ex boyfriend now my husband and I had graduated in college and started working, we promised to ourselves that we were going to explore or try different restaurant that we haven't visited yet. And we did it! Every payday we treat ourselves in different resto here in the Philippines and we end up as a Food Blogger - we love food.

And guess what we've visited a new resto named Akrotiri Modern Eurasian Cuisine is a must try that you'll definitely love all the foods that they offer.

The Filipino’s discerning palate has been cultivated by embracing local, foreign, and progressive cooking concepts. Constantly craving for fresh culinary adventures, passionate foodies are in for a delicious treat as a new restaurant presents an exciting gastronomic experience that has fused together diverse coastal food cultures from all over the world—Akrotiri Modern Eurasian Cuisine.

“We wanted to bring our knowledge to the Philippines and use all the incredible food that’s in the East and blended it with the West,” said Akrotiri General Manager, David Jones.

“Akrotini’s offerings reflect the Mediterranean classics, mainly Greek and other European influences but at the same time, we’ve localized the taste to create a new flavor. One can call it ‘fusion’, but we feel that ‘EurAsian’ highlights what we represent—an amalgamation of influences that have strong ties with the Philippine food culture.”

Akrotiri’s Menu is co-conceptualized by Chef Luca Maffei. An Italian chef with intricate taste to flavours and fusion, Chef Luca masterfully re-imagined Akrotiri’s food, bringing the blissful flavours of Asia and Euro-Greek cultures to our local cuisine.

A feast of specialty menu was offered as part of Akrotiri’s comprehensive food choices—a classic Greek heritage of Mediterranean triad themes that overlap with Malay, Oriental, and European influences. Guests also had their fill from a wide selection of wines, spirits, and beer, as well as carefully curated cocktails that collectively reflect Akrotiri’s distinct coastal blending ethos.

Akrotiri’s story was shared through an audio-visual presentation, but more so when its menu items were exhibited separately, plated attractively for every event-goer’s delight and indulgence.

While my husband loved the Angus bee and the Laing while I personally loved the Paella, the Dinakdakan and the Laing plus the dessert.
