Spending a luncheon at the ostrich farm at the Blue Wave Macapagal Avenue, being served with one of the bestseller drink is what I needed after a sumptuous  and tempting foods of the holiday season. The detox water drink with a healthy mixtures of  mint leave, basil, cucumber, lemon , orange, red and green apple, comes as a refreshing and thirst quenching concoction. The salad on the platter with fresh lettuce, mushroom, boiled egg, apple, together with their very own organic ostrich meat which comes straight from their farm. The freshness of the lettuce brings out the natural sweetness of leafy veggie,eating it with slices of apple, mushroom and the meat of the ostrich makes a complete meal specially for those who would want to watch their weight.

The farmers nachos is just right to the bite and will make you want for more, until you've noticed that you have cleaned up the  plate.

Chicken wings and tender serve with bleu cheese dip. the tender chicken meat brings out the sweetness of honey with the combination of a little saltiness to the taste buds making it more delicious upon dipping it in the  blue cheese.

The Buger is juicy to the taste with the topping of fried egg served in black sesame bun with  lettuce, slices of tomato and fries to go with it.The fries is crispy and easy to chew, one can taste the cheesy flavoring of the fries making it more yummy if you take it with their very own recipe of different dips.

Their menu offer a healthier and delicious  alternative for one who is looking for a guilt-free comfor food.

Biodiversity Financing Saving the Earth

The Philippines is one of 17 mega diverse countries, harboring more diversity of life per hectare than any other country in the world. Yet encroachment in forested areas, pollution, over fishing, poor land management practices, are leading to biodiversity loss at an alarming rate.

To address these threats, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), other national government agencies, academe, civil society and development partners, has developed the Philippines Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP). The PBSAP is the country’s road map in conserving biodiversity and critical ecosystem services for the next 13 years.

Similarly, through the UNDP’s Biodiversity Financing Initiative (BioFin), the DENR-BMB has  determined the financing gap of implementing the PBSAP, estimated to be at least Php 334 billion (US$7.4 billion) over the next 13 years [PhP24 billion annually]. This covers actions on: forest, coastal and marine, inland wetlands, caves and cave systems, protected areas, invasive alien species, agrobiodiversity, access and benefit-sharing and urban biodiversity.

A SPAGHEALTHY GOODNESS FOR THE HOLIDAY

 Every Christmas, our Moms always prepare something special for Noche Buena and make the Christmas table festive as possible.   The Christmas table will never be complete without the Christmas ham, chicken, and pasta dishes like spaghetti and macaroni salad.

However, with the growing awareness and trend on health and wellness, Moms look for healthy alternative dishes that they can serve to their family.  They look for food that are low calorie, high-fiber and rich in vitamins, but still a delectable dish that their family can enjoy.

El Real has long responded to the healthy needs of wise, practical moms with the offering of El Real Healthy Spaghetti.  EL Real Healthy Spaghetti is the first naturally healthy spaghetti in the local market that is made with real Malunggay and Carrot bits.  It is high in fiber because it has Durum Wheat Semolina, has 0% Cholesterol, 0% Trans Fat and has Vitamin A, C and Calcium.  What’s more is that, it has no veggie taste that your kids will surely love.
