In Time for Lent, Panda Express® Introduces Kung Pao Fish

When you think your food options during Lent are restricted, Panda Express®, the world’s largest American Chinese eating franchise, has you covered with delectable selections like Kung Pao Fish, its newest savory dish. This seafood-based option, which will be offered on the menu starting March 11 and is exclusively made for Panda Express in the Philippines, will be available for a short time only.

“Filipinos love to add variety to their meals and fish is among their top choices. Whether guests are abstaining from eating red meat during lent or just looking for seafood options, Panda’s newest dish, Kung Pao Fish, is a delicious and filling entree that our loyal guests should try,” said Nina Niguidula, Panda Express Marketing Manager.

Kung Pao Fish is inspired by a classic Panda entrée, Kung Pao Chicken. It is a classic American Chinese dish with Sichuan flavors, packed with vegetables, spices and different textures. Panda Express puts its own unique spin on the dish by using lightly breaded boneless fish, a wide variety of freshly cut vegetables along with crunchy peanuts, all tossed in a flavorful sauce with a kick.

All participating Panda Express outlets, including Don Antonio and SM North EDSA in Quezon City, SM Megamall in Mandaluyong, SM Grand Central in Caloocan, Robinsons Place Mall in Manila, and Double Dragon Meridian Park in Pasay, will offer this new menu addition.

Apart from Kung Pao Fish, customers can choose from a wide range of plant and seafood-based meals to suit their dietary preferences. Fresh eggplants, bell peppers, and protein-rich tofu are wok-tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce in Panda’s Eggplant Tofu, a must-try dish. Honey Walnut Shrimp, made with giant tempura-battered shrimp, wok-tossed in a sweet honey sauce, and topped with glazed walnuts, is another guest favorite.

So, what exactly are you waiting for Order.pandaexpress.com.ph, GrabFood, or foodpanda for dine-in, take-out, or delivery of the rich taste of American Chinese delicacies.

Ace Banzuelo’s seductive serenade “Babae” kicks off International Women’s Month

The release of “Babae,” a ’80s-inspired ballad with warm, analog-sounding synths and love lyrics, Filipino singer-songwriter/producer Ace Banzuelo seeks to carve out a unique path in pop music. The retro-infused track acts as the official anthem for Sony Music Philippines’ #BabaeAko campaign, which aims to highlight women and female artists on the label’s roster through a variety of online and promotional events in March 2022. In the zoom meeting that was held we were astonished at how Ace Banzuelo delivered his song. He indeed possesses that great quality of voice that will surely hook a lot of the listeners. And we are greatly amazed by him as he shows his talent during the virtual event.

According to the Alive hitmaker, it’s an honor to lend his platform to an important cause that empowers women in creatives who have long been deprived of equal opportunities.

“Babae was already finished months ahead and it was set to be released earlier than the target date,” says the 21-year-old artist. “When the team approached me about the possibility of using my song as part of a women-focused campaign, I immediately said yes. I’ve worked with many talented women all my life, and it’s about time that we recognize their legacy and how they have contributed significantly in pushing the culture forward. They are as great or even as better than their counterparts if truth be told.”

The music video of “Babae” is in fact, helmed by Katrina Arciaga, a budding female director who has worked with Ace on several projects before. “We’ve worked on small projects as independent creatives before, but this time without a doubt I knew we could pull off my vision and bring it to life.”

The visuals tell a story of a person earning someone’s trust. In Ace’s words, it’s a “sweet, magical and mysterious” metaphor on the various stages of liking someone, including the challenges that come with it.

“I came up with the playful concept last minute actually,” the eclectic pop phenom shares in a statement.

Aside from its interesting music video concept, Ace also takes pride of writing a multilingual song that highlights the poetic beauty of Tagalog and Cebuano, with a generous sprinkling of English, Japanese and Spanish.

To make this happen, the skilled newcomer enlisted the support of friends and family in penning the song’s lyrics, which required precision and proper word usage. “I’ve always thought that adding those little language changes to the track would add an interesting layer.”

Ace Banzuelo’s “Babae” is the follow-up to his sparkling bop “Alive,” which ushers in his new era with genres ranging from K-Pop to city pop, ’70s disco to dance music. Ace has amassed over 12 million Spotify streams to date and is set to release his full-length first album later this year.

“Babae”  is currently available on all digital music platforms across the world. Watch the music video here. The song is part of Sony Music Philippines’ International Women’s Month celebrations, which begin on March 17 with a curated playlist including Sony Music’s local and international female artists, as well as a series of videos/online performances from the label’s roster of acts.

Hanabishi Offers Cleaning Tips for Your Gas Stove

Gas stoves are dependable kitchen gadgets that allow us to create our favorite meals at home while saving money. Taking care of them and keeping them clean will not only help them function more effectively, but will also help them last longer.

As we commemorate National Fire Prevention Month, Hanabishi offers these tips for keeping your gas stove clean and extending its life.

  • Pay attention and immediately wipe off spills and overflows. As soon as boiling liquids spill over from your cooking pan, make sure to wipe it away with a sponge and diluted dishwashing liquid. That way, you’ll prevent stains from setting in and won’t take as much time to clean afterward. For stubborn stains, try spraying the surface with water & vinegar and wipe away with a non-abrasive sponge.
  • Keep an eye on the burners and check if they are clogged, in order to prevent it from turning into a fire hazard. Always check before, during and after cooking to see if the burners need to be cleaned. To unclog the burner, spray it with water and liquid detergent, let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes, and scrub with a small brush. Similarly, soak the stove grates in soapy water for the same amount of time, and clean with a brush or sponge as needed. Make sure that the burners and stove grates are completely dry before returning them to their proper places.
  • Check the back panels and knobs regularly. Clean with a sponge and dishwashing soap or vinegar solution. Spending a few minutes everyday to keep your gas stove clean is one way to avoid the hassle of spending more time and energy for deep cleaning. That way, you’ll have more time to enjoy your delicious meals with your loved ones.

In light of current events, we must maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle. We must exercise and eat nutritious foods in order to combat the diseases that are trying to take countless lives.

“Revelation: The Concert Tour in the United States” is TFC’s first ever LIVE event in the US

The performance is described as a “family affair,” with Dingdong Avanzado, the “Original Prince of Pinoy Pop,” and his wife, Jessa Zaragoza, the “Phenomenal Diva” and one of the Philippines’ best female music artists. In the zoom conference that was held, Dingdong Avanzado answered the reason why they named it “Revelation”. He discussed that because of this pandemic they discover a lot of things and what they have experienced during those times will be revealed. Through this concert also they will have a lot of revelation with their daughter, Jayda.

Jayda, their daughter, will be joining them, and she is being billed as the next big thing in music. She had exceptional musicality from an early age, writing her first song at the age of twelve.

Dingdong and Jessa are two of the big-name artists in the 90s and many 1st-gen FilAms would be familiar with their discography, while Jayda is an up-and-coming artist for the new generation of music lovers.

In Southern California, Revelation: The Concert Tour will be on March 12 at the Alex Theater, 216 N Brand Boulevard, Glendale, CA 91203. Ticket prices for the Glendale leg are: $158.00; $128.00; $98.00; $78.00; $70.00; $65.00; $50.00.

Revelation goes to Northern California on March 26 at the Fox Theater, 2215 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063. Ticket prices for this venue are: $55, $45,$35.

Go to myTFC.com/revelation to get your tickets and for more information.

Dingdong Avanzado

Dingdong Avanzado is known as the Philippines’ Prince of Pop. He is a multi-platinum recording artist and songwriter. He is regarded as one of the most outstanding concert performers in the Philippines over the last two decades.

His hit songs like “Makapiling Ka Sana”, “Basta’t Kasama Kita”, “To Love Again”, “Tatlong Beinte Singko” and “Paalam Na” all became love anthems and movie themes in the late eighties and early nineties making Dingdong one of the most celebrated recording artists of his time.

Dingdong has one distinct thing in common with other notable Philippine singers and music artists like Ogie Alcasid, Randy Santiago, Carlo Orosa, Louie Ocampo, Mel Villena, Rowell Santiago, and Gary Valenciano, to name a few – they were all members of Kundirana.

The Kundirana is a renowned high school music ministry and organization composed of 3rd and 4th year high school students from La Salle Green Hills. The group is known for developing successful professional singers and musical artists. Once chosen from a rigorous audition, a Kundirana member undergoes intense training in both singing and dancing, eventually becoming ambassadors of goodwill.

Jessa Zaragoza

Jessa Zaragoza is known as the Philippines’ Phenomenal Diva due to the success of her hit song “Bakit Pa?”. The song became the number one ballad in the Philippines in the late 90s. It is also the carrier single of her album, Just Can’t Help Feelin, which reached sextuple platinum months after its release in 1996.

She is married to Dingdong Avanzado and has a daughter, Jayda.

Dingdong and Jessa were two of the most well-known performers in the 1990s, and many 1st-generation FilAms would be familiar with their repertoire, while Jayda is a newcomer to the music scene.

Jayda

Jayda, Janelle Amanda Loyola Avanzado in real life, is Dingdong Avanzado and Jessa Zaragoza’s only daughter. She’s building a name for herself in the music world lately. With her popular song “Happy For You”, a single from her debut EP, In My Room, published in 2018, she established herself as a singer-songwriter. Jayda has also played at 1MX, the world’s largest Filipino music festival. In 2019, it was held in Singapore, and in 2021, it will be held in Manila. Jayda is one of the Philippines’ newest rising stars.
