To date, TGI Fridays has 26 branches within the Philippines.  With such success, of course, it has to celebrate its 25th Birthday!


We usually dine at TGI Fridays for dinner or post-dinner.  But, last December 11, 2019, we decided to try them for lunch for a change.

Complimentary Nachos

During lunch time at its Trinoma branch, it offered a laid back kind of vibe.  

French Onion Soup (245 php)

The French Onion Soup at TGI Fridays is one of our favorites.  It's just so hearty and fulfilling.

Calypso Calamari Salad (425 php)

Milk Tea Cheesecake (290 php)

Since we're milk tea lovers, we just have to give TGI Fridays Milk Tea Cheesecake a go.  IUt was good to try but we'd go for the classic Oreo Madness next time.  Perhaps, we're more into oreos than milk tea after all.



25th Birthday Bash Surprise

25th Birthday Bash Surprise

At exactly 1 pm, a birthday song played and we got a FREE Fridays Chili Ballpark Nachos.

Fridays Chili Ballpark Nachos (495 php)

What an amazing treat!  Happy 25th Birthday TGI Fridays!

Last year, I discovered The Sandwich Guy (see review) which offers meals that are affordable and healthy that are conveniently packed for those who are in a hurry or on the go. 


Aside from a wide range of sandwiches, they also have pasta and other side dishes.

Breakfast Magazine for adapts a new approach in terms of food magazine.  Unlike other magazines, Breakfast Magazine offers recipes only from the experts which includes Chef Sau Del Rosario, Chef Sandralyn Hataway, Chef Junjun De Ocampo and Chef Tatung.  I like the way they relay their recipes by telling the readers first of their inspiration.  It invites us to understand and feel how passionate they are about the food they create.  Plus, the recipes are easy to follow with tips and technique too.  Breakfast Magazine also has Bloggers Section where fellow foodie bloggers impart their food knowledge.


You may wonder what's the lifestyle part of the magazine.  Well, it shares insights and background of celebrity foodies and people who are influential in the food industry.  It gives the readers an idea of who they are and what made them deserve their accomplishments.  As someone who sees myself as entering entrepreneurship someday, I am also fascinated with the success stories of those who have successfully penetrated the food industry.  


Last but not the least, it features food products and places.  As a foodie, I am fond of discovering new places to eat at and Breakfast Magazine gives me a visual and well-written hint.
