Indulge — A Food and Wine Supplement

Excerpt from the introduction of Indulge Supplement by Monica De Leon

“Enjoy InFlight magazine’s first Indulge supplement: Boracay Edition, where Boracay is featured and lives true to its identity as a top gastronomic destination.

Boracay has been top of mind if looking for a place to relax, enjoy a fine beach ambience, marvel at the great view, and enjoy fantastic meals. One of the charms of Boracay is its infectious island party vibe, which is likewise reflected in most, if not all, the restaurants and eating joints on the island. Host to about 200 dining establishments, Boracay Island has places that offer the best grills, freshest seafood dishes, and unique dining options whose inspiration goes all the way from across the Atlantic, or whose creations are like works of art. The dining experience in Boracay is so diverse that we hear of stories like a food enthusiast hopping on a plane, visiting the island for a day, only to dine.

In this supplement, you will be entangled in a maze of about 20 restaurants, learning about delectable dishes from appetizers to main courses to desserts. You’ll also be guided well because this supplement comes with description on ambience and setting, and prices of each featured restaurant, a handy map (see page 3), and a directory of other bars and restaurants (see page 32).”

InFlight August – September 2010

Excerpt from the note of InFlight Editor:

“Our contributing writer, Chip Childers, has no such qualms taking on hellish rides at Bohol’s Danao Adventure Park, the latest word in thrill-per-minute rides.

Perched on the lip of a canyon, the park has two zip line cables hanging over the canyon floor, river kayaking, trekking and tubing on Class 2 rapids below, rock climbing and rappelling on the side walls, canopy walks and tours.

Opening himself up to the adrenaline-boosting rides, Childers found himself “screaming like a little girl,” plunging some 45 meters down a gorge, strapped in parachute harness. The ride, aptly called “The Plunge”, is just one horror show in a series of horror rides at the park.

Gentler adventure pursuits are also available, from interesting hiking via well-laid out paths, to dune buggy rides, to a spot of dolphin watching.”

InFlight June-July 2010

Excerpt from the note of SEAIR InFlight Editor:

“This is our first green issue, although for a few years now SEAIR InFlight has been featuring environmental issues and news in our special InTune section (see pages 25 to 28).

Organic food, canvas shopping bags, and recycling are no longer posh affairs, but rather an everyday concern. Our cover story on pages 46 to 57 showcases this new green residence called Hacienda San Benito, which focuses on the glories of simple living — fresh air, tending to your organic farm, and enjoying the country life. And come to think of it, if you do tend to your own veggies in your garden or farm, then you don’t need as much packaged foodstuff and reduce all that plastic choking up our seas and earth.”

SEAIR InFlight August – September

Excerpt from the note of SEAIR InFlight Editor:

“So what are you doing towards the end of the year? August, September and October are good months to travel in the Philippines, with good rates available for those who look.

Romblon, a grab-bag of islands known for its marble – the kind that adorns the floor and altars of most Philippine churches – and unspoiled sandy beaches, comes high on my holiday list.

I travelled to Romblon some years back and have fond memories of Looc Bay marine sanctuary, the sparkling clear waters of the deserted beach at Cresta de Gallo, the non-stop feasts laid out for us by local folks, and the general warmth and generosity of the people.

Traveling to Romblon is no longer as tedious as it was years back when I went, but there is still some trekking and roughing out to do – as our InFlight editorial team discovered. (See cover story on pages 42 to 55). From Cobrador, they trekked two kilometers in alternating sun and rain lugging cameras, laptops, and bags.

All that effort was rewarded when they caught sight of a secluded sandy beach sparkling in the sun. And as luck would have it, there was a thatched cottage by the beach that opened its doors for them to stay the night and discover a freebie patch of paradise. It’s not a five-star bling resort; there was no electricity, no fancy food, no touristy crowd, just a lovely beach, warm, invigorating sea, and fresh air.

If that’s not enough, we’ve gathered a list of some of Romblon’s most beautiful beaches – beaches that rival Boracay, but without the crowds (See sidebar on page 56). “

SEAIR InFlight June – July

Excerpt from the note of SEAIR InFlight Editor:

"Experienced angler Tony Barrios hadn’t been able to make it on the flight out to Batanes for our fishing cover story. But another angler, Gordon Uy, was willing to help. Our writer wasn’t able to make it either and recommended Chip Childers, who comes from a family of anglers.

...Chip wasn’t able to catch a fish. The weather was not good, fierce waves rocked the boat, photographer Ferdz Decena was seasick and threw up. And then there was an accident at sea, when the fishing boat the editorial group was renting broke its propeller.

When I finally got the story and the photos, it was with a sigh of relief.

When you go out at sea to fish, you put yourself in the hands of the elements, and learn to respect and enjoy it. As one fisherman once said: “Fishing is like lovin. You have to take it slow.”
