Luna J Restaurant Joins Lee Kum Kee’s Big Grill Masters

They say that grilling is a healthier way of cooking than frying. And one way of making the meat you’re grilling more flavorful is adding sauces while you grill.

Hence, Lee Kum Kee hosted a series of specialty grilled dishes among different restaurants across the metro which incorporated their specialty sauces in the recipe collectively known as “Big Grill Masters“. Sounds good to me!

Lee Kum Kee x Luna J

One of the restaurants in this list is Luna J Filipino Gastropub in Timog, Quezon City, which we visited a few weeks ago.

It’s NomNom Club‘s first time at Luna J and I think it has a prime location at Il Terrazzo fronting the road. We got in a bit early and was able to get an early bird’s taste of their appetizers including the Sisig Nachos, Gising-Gising, and Kare-Kare Bagnet, among others.

But the star of the day is the Big Grill Master featured dish – Luna J‘s Baby Back Ribs, as it incorpartes the Lee Kum Kee Panda Oyster sauce!

The Baby Back Ribs itself is already good, but I believe the Lee Kum Kee Panda Oyster sauce made it even better and tastier!

Priced at P250 per serving, I should say that it’s a catch with the big size of the Baby Back Ribs.

Here are more appetising photos of other dishes that we tried at Luna J.

Pinoy and Proud

Today is Philippine Independence Day; which is one of the most important national holiday for Filipinos. It symbolizes their pride in their history and culture.

And as the late and former president Diosdado Macapagal once said:

I end with the proud declaration of the truth that the Philippines is irrevocably a land of freedom. The love for freedom is the outstanding trait of the Filipino.

And one of the national symbols of Filipinos in the aspect of food is Jollibee! Currently, the season is appropriately celebrated by the brand in a #PinoyAndProud spirit through a series of campaigns that stirs the Filipino pride and joy in each if us.

#PinoyAndProud

In a recent press event held last May 31, 2016, Jollibee introduced their grandest Independence Day campaign called “#PinoyAndProud: Ang Sarap, Ang Saya Maging Pilipino!”

This campaign closely follows two successful Pinoy pride celebrations from Jollibee. 2014’s “Foreignoy” campaign related the stories of foreigners who consider themselves Pinoys at heart, while 2015’s #HappyBdayPilipinas compiled wishes, hopes, and promises of the Filipino citizens.

In this light, Jollibee adds new, exciting, and definitely Pinoy twists this June as they launched products and collaborations that brings out the loud and proud Pinoys in everyone.

Things to definitely watch out for this June are: a new Pinoy Pride tune to sing along to, Jollibee and friends’ new look, as well as well-loved Pinoy favorites in Jollibee’s menu!

“Being a homegrown Pinoy brand is always a source of immense pride for Jollibee,” said Francis E. Flores, Jollibee Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Marketing. “This year, we are celebrating the amazing Filipino spirit and our unique traits that put the sarap and saya to being Pinoy.”

Jollibee Adobo Flakes Yum Burger + Halo-Halo Sundae & More

Jollibee favorites meet classic Pinoy favorites with the new Adobo Flakes Yum! Burger (P59) and the new Halo-Halo Sundae (P35)!

The langhap-sarap Yum! Burger that we all know is now added with real beefy adobo flakes and special adobo sauce, while the well-loved Jollibee Sundae is made more special with favorite Halo-Halo toppings such as nata de coco, macapuno.

Moreover, the bucket of crispylicious, juicylicious Chickenjoy has been updated with a new Limited Edition Independence Day Bucket design featuring Jollibee and Friends in their adorable Filipiniana costumes.

Both the new Adobo Flakes Yum! Burger and Halo-Halo Sundae are available in Jollibee stores nationwide!
