Picture Feature(d): Island Life

Excerpt from “Island Life: School Daze” by Ces Rodriguez for InFlight December-January 2011

“Mariglo Laririt plans and solves problems for a living. It goes with her title of president of Ten Knots Development Corporation, the landholding company of those beautiful El Nido Resorts – Miniloc Island Resort and Lagen Island Resort”

“By the time their year came to a close, Laririt had begun training the resort staff in much the same subjects her husband was: the importance of the environment. Today, her early forays into ecological consciousness have borne fruit. El Nido Resorts has been recognized time and again for their “greenness”, from Conde Nast Traveler Magazine to ASEAN’s Green Hotel Standard”

“Miniloc Island Resort relaxes me. It’s my favorite breakfast place. While on Miniloc Island, I try as much as I can to go to the Big and Small Lagoons to kayak and renew the spirit of awe. In fact, drop me off at any island in Bacuit Bay and I can relax”

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).”

Picture Feature(d): Mamou’s Kitchen

Excerpt from “Mamou's Kitchen” by Ces Rodriguez for InFlight October-November 2010

“Warm colors dominate, with wooden floorboards, wooden chairs in red leatherette, ever-so-slightly scratched tabletops, backlit smoked glass cupboards behind the serving counter, and butler pendant lights create a laidback vibe.”

“The piece de resistance: an 800g dry aged USDA prime grade porterhouse steak (P3,500 for the twin size, P2,800 for the 600g). It came darkened by the grill, pre-sliced into strips. We tried all four side dishes that came with it: baked mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, corn pudding and white rice sautéed in steak fat.“


“It can get noisy at times at Mamou, but the food is good and the setting, nicely casual, says Ces Rodriguez”
