New pasta dishes and Bistro Bowls to pair with your favorite handcrafted beverage
Many of us live hectic lives, with countless deadlines to meet, requirements to deliver, and tasks to complete, and sometimes having time for a healthy and hearty meal can be quite challenging. Good thing, we have Starbucks which serves the perfect treats for both breakfast and lunch through their new Signature Pairings.
Starbucks Signature Pairings are delectable meals partnered with your favorite coffee or tea. These are available at a discounted price when you purchase it with any Tall handcrafted beverage. Starbucks Signature Breakfast is available from the store’s opening until 10am, while you can avail the Starbucks Signature Lunch from 10am to 2pm.
“We know how many of our customers are constantly in search of great food that they can enjoy with their favorite Starbucks handcrafted beverage, that’s why we’re bringing in new food options that will satisfy their cravings,” Keith Cole, head of marketing for Starbucks Philippines said.
For a delectably filling lunch try the two new pasta dishes by Starbucks. Classic Beef Lasagna is made with savory meat, creamy béchamel sauce and lasagna baked with a topping of mozzarella cheese. Penne Pesto with Mushroom is also a great choice for those looking for a quick and delicious meal, it is made with penne that is sautéed with button mushroom and creamy pesto sauce.
For those searching for a light and quick option for their midday meal, Arugula Pasta Salad with Creamy Parmesan is an ideal option. Made with al dente tri-color fusilli pasta, fresh tomatoes, black olives, and red bell pepper, served on a bed of arugula with a creamy parmesan dressing, this is the perfect healthy meal to get you through the day.

ROMULO CAFÉ HAPPY HOUR: TAKING PULUTAN INTERNATIONAL AS THE GENERAL WOULD
Known for its popular main courses, such as Lola Virginia’s Chicken Relleno, Adobo Romulo Style, and Tito Greg’s Kare-Kare, Romulo Café now introduces a surprising lineup of cocktails and Filipino-style tapas.
“Tapas are considered strictly Spanish; associated only with Spanish food,” says Sandie Romulo Squillantini, owner of Romulo Café and granddaughter of Carlos P. Romulo. “We wanted to tweak that idea because Filipino finger foods also go nicely with wine, Cava and other drinks. Basically, we’ve taken the tried and tested combination of beer and pulutan, and we’ve made it a little friendlier to an international clientele.”
“It’s the right time,” she adds, no doubt gleaning insights from Romulo Café’s first international outpost, in London, while also pointing out how Filipino cuisine has taken the world by storm. “While Filipino beer will always be a staple that goes perfectly with local flavors, we also want wine and cocktail drinkers to taste—to experience—what is just super great bar chow.”
Filipino-Style Tapas
Tinapa Rolls might be a good place to start, since spring rolls are already familiar to people all across the world. Other Filipino-style tapas include Bangus Pate with Pandesal Chips, Lechon Sisig wrap, Cheese and Vigan Longganisa Dumplings, Crispy Crablets, Fish and Squid Balls, Pinoy Nachos, Crispy Squid, Camaron Rebosado and our newest additions to the lineup Relleno Empanadita, Chorizo Empanadita, and Pato Tim on a steamed.
Signature Cocktails
Romulo Café’s signature cocktails are inspired by the multifaceted life of Carlos P. Romulo, each reflecting an aspect of the late general’s life.
Included in the drinks list are ‘Old General,’ denoting Romulo as the quintessential diplomat and soldier; ‘A Foreign Affair,’ which hints at an insiders’ joke from the early 70s, when his friends and colleagues teased Romulo about dating an American while serving as the minister of Foreign Affairs (Beth Day married him in 1979); ‘Spritzer Pulitzer,’ signifying the 1942 Pulitzer Prize in Journalism; and ‘Dirty White Dove,’ which makes reference to two facts: that he loved white doves and kept them as pets, and that he patronized the Sign of the Dove restaurant in New York City. ‘Imelda’s High Heels’ and ‘Amor de Familia’ are also part of the lineup.
Moreover, Wine Warehouse Corporation surely added doses of ‘Happy’ in the Happy Hour, serving excellent drinks exclusively for the occasion such as Candidato Tempranillo and Viura from Spain, and Undurraga U Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Chile. The majestic Mancino Vermouth Cocktails and Rinomato Aperitivo that hail from the “Wine Country” Italy are likewise featured, along with Martin Miller’s Gin from the UK / Ice land. Philippine Wine Merchant Ralph’s Stoli Vodka also provided a splendid taste for the signature drink Dirty White Dove, while Don Papa Rum is mixed with the A Foreign Affair and Amor de Familia.
Experience Romulo Café’s Happy Hour starting on October 1, 5:30PM-7:30PM, in all its four branches: Scout Tuazon, Tomas Morato, Quezon City; Jupiter Street, Makati; Azumi Hotel in Ayala Alabang; and Kensington, London, UK.
