Lifestyle notes from coffee

This is according to Eric Lim, vice president of Conlins Coffee Co. during an intimate press luncheon at the SM Mall of Asia.

We are now living in what he calls the “coffee culture”—a lifestyle that is slowly developing in the country but already popular in other European countries such as Switzerland and Germany.

“Before, people just wanted their caffeine kick,” says Lim, “Now they want to learn more about gourmet coffee, its different tastes...”

Coffee has become as diverse as its many varieties. Aside from providing us our instant java fix, it has become the perfect conversation piece, the relaxing companion to a quiet morning or a leisurely afternoon, and more importantly, a wellness champion.

The road to wellness

For example, coffee beans can actually serve as one’s emergency home-made spa.

Forecasts for the week of April 22

All Signs: The sun is in Taurus until May 21. There are many Taurus archetypes: banker, country squire, collector of antiques, gourmet of food, wine and cigars, and last but not least, a beautiful, sensuous individual. All of us will be drawn to these qualities while the sun is in Taurus. Well give more attention to banking. Well pay bills and try to get finances in better order. We might enjoy time in the country, or think about real estate. Well enjoy good wine, and search for the best bread, coffee or fish. (Taurus has a discerning palate.) Sex will be juicy and sumptuous. Its time for creature comforts. Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow, we must diet!

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Youre definitely focused on finances and your money scene. Youll be shopping more now, as well.

Landscape littered with new restaurants

Name a more tenuous, terrifying, tight-rope-walking career than being a restaurateur. Even on the Peninsula, where dining out is a pastime second only to collecting BMWs, a restaurant's life span is short, with new eateries sprouting like spring daffodils.

This week's changes take place at The Barnyard Shopping Village in Carmel, and include the sale of Bahama Billy's Island Steakhouse. Yes, weeks after restaurateur Bill Lee sold off Bixby's Southwest Grill next door, he signed over the Caribbean-slanted eatery to new owners, Anthony and April Momo from Denver.

Another ribbon-cutting took place an olive's throw away as Big Dog Sports Restaurant opened its doors at the space formerly occupied by Sherlock Holmes Pub.

The Momos previously owned and operated Cucina Colore, a contemporary Italian restaurant they opened in 1995.
