Novel Poke Bowls Launch by Seda Centrio

Make your own bowl at the Market Table

Prior to August 17, Poke the fish salad was scarcely in the local culinary lexicon of Kagay-anon Foodies. By the end of the evening, the wildly popular Hawaiian dish had gained over a score of aficionados, thanks to Seda Centrio’s novel way of introducing it.

Already steeped in the sashimi, ceviche and of

course, the local kinilaw, guests invited to join Seda Centrio’s Are You Ready to Poke? event last Thursday, August 17, quickly adopted Hawaii’s Poke into their culinary lexicon.

Poke (pronounced POH-KAY, Hawaiian for to section, slice or cut) is a classic Hawaiian pupu or snack of raw fish, often served an

appetizer, and sometimes as a main course. The traditional Hawaiian poke consists of fish that has been gutted, skinned, and deboned. It is sliced across the backbone as fillet, then served with traditional condiments such as sea salt, candlenut, seaweed, and limu (edible seaweed).

Food historian Rachel Laudan says the present form of poke became popular during the 1970s. It used skinned, deboned, and filleted raw fish served with Hawaiian salt, seaweed, and roasted, ground kukui (candlenut) nut meat.

This form of poke is still common in the Hawaiian islands.

Poke became increasingly popular in the mainland United States by 2012.

A number of poke restaurants—mostly

but not exclusively fast casual restaurants— became popular.

From 2014 to mid2016, “the number of Hawaiian restaurants on Foursquare, which includes those that serve poke,” doubled, going from 342 to 700.

Increasingly popular, ahi poke is generally made with yellowfin

tuna. Adaptations may feature raw salmon or various shellfish as a main ingredient served raw with the common poke seasonings.

In a novel way to introduce the new menu, Seda Centrio set up tables where invited guests were encouraged to prepare their own poke bowls.

Thanks to Seda Centrio Hotel Manager Armand Angeles whose brainstorm it was, and the establishment’s multi-department team who executed the plan to perfection, everyone of the guests which included corporate client, media and bloggers, friends and neighbors, had a fun

filled and exciting evening.

First, we tried the Tuna Poke with Avocado and Cucumber Noodles.

Since avocado is not in season, the Seda team tried mango instead which was good since it contrasted splendidly in one’s palate with the Cucumber Noodles and

Go Hotels Iligan set to open soon August 21-27, 2017

By Mike Baños

espite the uncertain peace and order situation in Mindanao, Robinsons Hotels and Resorts remains optimistic tourism and the hospitality industry would continue to flourish in the island’s regions.

“Mindanao has a very vibrant economy. There are still so many areas which are so conducive to commercial development,” noted Elizabeth D. Gregorio, general manager of Robinsons Hotels and Resorts, a subsidiary of Robinsons Land Inc. (RLC) which operates the group’s Summit Hotels and Resorts, and Go Hotels.

“To begin with, we already have so many Robinsons malls in Mindanao. And in terms of Go Hotels also, we are very much present. We have Davao, Butuan, soon we will be opening in Iligan, and we are looking at other areas like Cagayan de Oro, so we’re very optimistic about the economy in Mindanao,” she told reporters on the sidelines of the Summit Galleria Cebu launch last August 19.

“Go Hotel is very much a city hotel. It’s a place where you park your things

and you’re out for the rest of the day for business or pleasure,” she added.

Company information online describes Go Hotels as “an Essential Service Hotel providing quality accommodations, with a complete and convenient travel experience for the savvy professional, the go-getting trailblazer, the modern man and woman – everyone should be provided a low cost option for value lodging.”

Although it is profiled as a low cost option for value lodging, Go Hotels rooms feature Windsor chiropractic beds of high quality, hypo-allergenic materials with 100^% cotton sheets and duvet covers; bathrooms with overhead hot and cold rain shower, hand-held shower head and 100% cotton bath towels, soap and conditioning shampoo; LCD Cable TV sets in all guest rooms and lobby, free Wi-Fi in all areas;

24/7 CCTV surveillance in the lobby and corridors with a safe in all guest rooms; transport access to public, private and for-hire transport for hassle free travel And airport transfer, toiletry kits, and breakfast sets as add-ons should the guest so desires.

At present, Go Hotels operates eight hotels in Luzon (Cubao-QC, ErmitaManila, Mandaluyong, Manila Airport Road, North EDSA-QC, Ortigas Center, Otis-Manila, and Puerto Princesa-Palawan), four in the Visayas (Bacolod, Dumaguete, Iloilo, and Tacloban) and two in Mindanao (Butuan, Lanang-Davao).

Besides the one in Iligan, the company is also opening another new hotel in Timog Avenue, Quezon City before the year ends.

“We expect to open more Go Hotels at the rate of two a year,” Gregorio said. “Go Hotels already has five operational hotels that are franchised and we continue to explore more interests in franchising.

One of the chains biggest franchise operators is Roxaco Land Corp., the property development arm of Roxas and Company Inc., which already

operates four Go Hotels in a joint venture with the Vanguard Hotels Group of Singapore.

Roxaco-Vanguard operates Go Hotels North Edsa-Quezon City, Manila Airport Road-Parañaque, Cubao- Quezon City, Ermita-Manila, and Timog, Quezon City by the 4th quarter of the year which would increase the group’s total capacity to over 1,000 hotel rooms.

Should there be an opportunity, Gregorio said a Go Hotel for Cebu would also be possible.

Yes, it’s again the topic, we should really think about. Also here in the Philippines. Ok, here’s anew string of examples, my dear readers. But, don’t expect good news.

Greenland, the great island is being called already the Land of Ice being on fire. Why? A recent report says the Arctic may be ice-free by 2040. The Antarctic is also melting, albeit far slower, and in a less regular pattern.

The Arctic is melting much faster than expected, and could even be ice-free in summer by the late 2030’s, a report from the Arctic Council’s Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program suggests. Previous studies had forecast an ice-free North Pole in summer by mid-century.

Wow. While the outlook is bleak for the Arctic, there is a silver lining for the Antarctic: As I said before, the ice is melting at a slower rate than previously thought. Although glacier flow has increased since the 1990’s, scientists from University of Leeds have found the melting rate to be only around a third of what was previously projected. A section of a glacier in Greenland is seen from NASA’s Operation IceBridge research aircraft along the Upper Baffin Bay coast on March 27, 2017.

Operation IceBridge studies the processes that link the polar regions with the Earth’s climate system. Rapidly changing polar ice means researchers need to use highly sophisticated airborne technology to measure annual changes in thickness and movement - onboard a retrofitted 1966 Lockheed P-3 aircraft.

But the Antarctic is still melting. And a rapidly advancing crack in its fourth-largest ice shelf could soon see one of the largest icebergs ever recorded in human history break off into the sea.Scientists agree that global warming causes both the ice in the North and the South Pole to melt. Air temperatures are climbing, and so are water temperatures. This makes the ice melt faster. The period of winter where the water is actually cold enough to freeze is getting shorter, which means ice floes are getting smaller.

Greenland, home to the world’s largest permanent ice sheet outside Antarctica, is being swept by wildfires.

Yes, the land of ice is on fire. A really breath away taking situation. Scientists say global warming and increased plant cover are likely factors. Since late July, wildfires have raged across an ever-larger area of the landmass - and with greater intensity - than ever before observed.

Honestly folks, it really scares me although experts say

it is too early to draw firm H ave M y Say conclusions linking the fire to climate change because no long-term data is available to put the blaze in context.

However, unusually warm and dry conditions this year could have been a factor.

Let’s face this: “It’s unprecedented in the short 18-year observational record,” Jason Box, a climate Klaus Doring scientist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, said in an interview with German TV yesterday. . “We also know that temperatures in Greenland are probably higher [than they have been over] the last 800 years.” Wow again!

Although the origin of the blaze is unclear - with lightening and a stray cigarette as possible suspects - what is clear is how it has been spreading across remote areas of grassland and low shrub. Greenland’s is indeed getting greener and greener. It conjures images of white, frozen expanses. But Box says global warming means it’s getting greener all the time. “There’s a shorter snow-cover season, and that allows the plant life to expand,” he explained.

The Arctic is heating up around twice as fast as the global average. At the same time, rainfall around the world is also increasing - and that trend as well is more present in the Artic. “More rain is a widespread symptom of climate change,” Box said. “You get more precipitation - and where you get the biggest increase is in the Arctic.”

For Greenland, warmer, wetter conditions mean more vegetation - which, seemingly paradoxically, could be a factor for the fire. And my next question is: what will be the impact of these fires on the ice sheet and surrounding areas?

Fact is: Greenland’s ice sheets melt, that contributes to sea level rise. And if we add North- and South Pole and their vanishing ice and snow? Yes, also the Philippines are in danger. Not this year or next year.
