Tomorrow is Halloween Day and it’s always been a treat for my kids every Halloween day. Never mind if they are in their twenties now. One is never too old to enjoy Halloween treats. The best place to buy these imported cute fun Halloween treats is the good old Rustans Supermarket. I wasn’t wrong. At the Rustans Katipunan Branch, there was a 50% markdown on all the Halloween goodies. Here are a few scary but yummy treats I bought:

I first heard of Marta’s Cakes from MarketMan Manila. Such pretty and fabulous cakes! If it were my daughter’s 18th birthday, I would have chosen her to make the 18th birthday cake. But all my daughters are past their 18th birthday. Maybe the next occasion would be my husband’s 50th birthday.

The first Marta’s cakes I’ve seen is this cake for a Havaianas Event of All Flip Flops. I bet there are more fantastic designs in the main store.

Just look at the details of this particular slipper-themed cake:

I was told that the Yakiniku grill which literally translates to “grilled meat” is a culinary experience even a few Japanese have not been through. For the lucky few, you can now enjoy this experience at the Yurakuen Japanese Restaurant in the Diamond Hotel as it now offers this gourmet cruise – a multi- palate experience. I was served with five appetizers before the meat cuts were brought out.

Sake and Gindara Tsuyani
Stewed salmon and codfish in sweet soy sauce

Horenzo
Spinach with sesame oil and Korean chili paste

Nikujyaga
Stewed ground beef, potatoes and carrots in light soy sauce

Anyone who’s seen a grill can say something about barbeque. However, it takes an expert to explain the complex art of an authentic Japanese Yakiniku.

Although the similarities may be easily recognizable (bite-sized pieces of meat cooked using a grill) and despite the fact that it literally translates to “grilled meat”, Yakiniku is more than just an ordinary barbeque. Its Korean origin fused with the delicate tenets of Japanese cooking requires talent and artistry to create an authentic and decadent Yakiniku experience.

It is not particularly surprising that Diamond Hotel – the city’s premier dining oasis and portal to all things deliciously Japanese – has tapped the expertise of their culinary masters to whip up tantalizing Yakiniku fares with the Yurakuen Japanese Restaurant. Famed for offering an impeccably mouthwatering taste of Japanese culture and flavor, Yurakuen provides a dining destination where authentic Yakiniku meals can be enjoyed.
