Age of Extinction

By: Ma. Anne Margarett G. Tumale

July 1, 2014 ─ On a Tuesday afternoon there was an event happening at the Robinsons Galleria’s Activity Area. I was curious about it and then I knew that it was a toy exhibit and movie promotion at the same time of the newest science fiction action film, the Transformers: Age of Extinction. The said event was sponsored by Toys R Us. They also have some fun games, activities and large photo ops there.

 This movie is the fourth instalment of the live-action Transformers film series and stars Mark Wahlberg in the lead role.

Toys R Us made this event to promote the movie itself and their newest collection of toys that was based on the said movie especially the Grimlock toy that costs P5999.75 to be exact that will launch in July 5. They also have many promos at their event.

The event started today, July 1, 2014 and will end on July 6, 2014.

Design Project Pie

Pizza Project

by Ma. Anne Margarett G. Tumale

DESIGN.BUILD.EAT ─ June 30, 2014, Monday afternoon, my cousin and I went to the newest and most unique artisan pizza chain I’ve ever known so far here in the Philippines, the Project Pie. We had our first artisan pizza on their branch at Eastwood in Libis, Quezon City. 

They also have a branch in Shaw Boulevard., Alabang, Macapagal Avenue, and Ayala. Project Pie is open from 10 AM to 11 PM every weekdays and 11 AM to 12 Midnight every Saturdays and Sundays.

Project Pie is an American pizza chain with branches in Las Vegas, San Diego, Boulder and DC. I am amazed that a franchise has already opened in Manila. The person behind this artisan pizza chain is James Markham.

Yes, we all know that pizza is one of the most favourite food of we Filipinos. Actually for me there's no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap. That’s why I’ve decided to go to a pizza chain for this food critic. I chose Project Pie because I am so excited for that unusual ordering process where you’re the one who will choose the toppings you want for your pizza.

Their usual 12” thin build-your-own-pizza costs P285 with sauce and many toppings to choose from, and take note: on that P285 pesos you’ll get an UNLIMITED choices of toppings. Preparing and making the pizza normally take only seven to ten minutes.

I had my artisan pizza with barbecue sauce, crumbled meatballs, bacon, mozzarella, ricotta, grilled chicken, gorgonzola, Canadian bacon, jalapenos, fresh mushrooms and pepperoni.

I learned that Project Pie’s pizza dough is also one of a kind, using a signature flour that is unique to Project Pie pizzas. Their thin crust pizzas are not oily and have this delicate balance of chewiness and crispiness with every bite.

Another plus is the drinks corner. Pay only P65 and you can go back to the soda or tea dispensers three times

The facilities of Project Pie is very creative and engaging in the eyes of the customers especially teens like me.

Obviously if I were to rate my pizza from 1 to 10, I would give it a 9 because I am the one who chose the toppings and 10 also for the whole pizza chain because of the very clean facilities, friendly crew and for the fast and smooth service. :)
