Ascott Makati and its Cafe on the 6th

Ascott Makati (formerly Oakwood Premier) is an oasis in the urban jungle that is the Makati CBD (Central Business District). What makes it ideal is that it is just beside the Glorietta 4 mall. Since not all of us are expats and executives who can afford the expensive long stays at the Ascott, I was pleased to find out that their coffeeshop called Cafe on the 6th is perfect for cozy meetings and leisurely lunches with friends. The prices aren’t bad either. It should be a good alternative for...

Rising from the ashes

This isn't about Baang Coffee but about the mugs that they use in their coffee shops. This distinctive pottery style—the rough, speckled, natural body with the smooth, color-glazed lip—is the work of master potter Lanelle Abueva Fernando who has her studio and a garden café in Antipolo City in the province of Rizal. The speckles are caused by her use of volcanic ash from Mount Pinatubo. Back in 1991, Mount Pinatubo, located 90 kilometers north of Metro Manila, blew up in one of the worst volcanic...
