I've been an avid collector since 2004_ Since I got married on December 8. 2006 my wife has forbidden me from collecting FHM

One-name wonder KC wan.ts everyone to lea.rn proper 9roomin9' She starts her campai9n with this presentation of the 'after' look!

1-1 FHM JULY 2010 www.fhm.com.ph

Commercial model KC showed off her Aawless skin in the sweltering heat-it was 38 degrees the day of her shoot-just for us. And as we watched her posing in the sun like

a pro, we couldn't help but notice her otherworldly kinis. Enamored as we were with her seemingly porcelain skin, we jus t had to ask how she does it-or if God just really loved her more than us dark and pockmarked mortals. What we got was an interesting lesson on DIY grooming. As the,e photos wHI attest, KC does it herself and she does it good.

Did you do anything special to prepare for this shoot?

I didn't eat too much-Tve always been strict with my diet-and I went to the gym. Aside from that,

I also took care of my skin. I t's a bikini shoot, so I have to make

sure Aawless ako, di ba7 I use Veet, particularly the cream. because

it's more affordable than going to the sa-Ion. Going to the salon is expensive. so anytime I want to. I just use my hair remover cream. So you're a "DIY groomer~? Exactly_ E specially sa underarms, sa legs, because that's what people see first. I always wear shorts and sk i r ts pa naman

Is that better than shav; ng? For me it's easier. When I used to shave, lalong kumakapal. And then I'd get chicken skin, At least with the cream I use, the hair grows back liner, tapos hindi pa dark yung underarms ko.

So what part of guys do you want ha,ir-ftee?

Sohrang gl.l5tO ko iF I had a boyfriend na hindi naman completely hair free, yung smooth lang. A bit of chest hair is enough. Any other grooming advice we should keep in mind?

Well, aside from using lotions and moisturizers, it's important maging conscious tayo about our skin. I was confident for this shoot because

I was hair free_ And as a model, ayaw ko yung kailangan maraming i"Photosi1op SiJ akin, so I'm really conscious about that.

Aside from taking good care of yourself what else do you do with you r time?

I love going to the beach, especially Boracay, lalo na n9ayon mainirl

And we assume you're not the "bistide-se-beech" kind of girl? That's right. I even use wax strips to dean up my bikini lines. FHM

lowered inhibitions. Psychologists think it's the same rush that adds to every mountain climber's thinner-air, altitude addiction. Others think it's plain old masochism.

4 nUl TH[Y DIDN'T WANT TO: 01(. DID Tum

No, they probably didn't. The idea was being deprived of adequate oxygen supply (hypoxia)

for love of its high (hypoxyphilia). You can't do this by holding your breath

because your body wil:1 just force itsel.f

to breathe. You can pu t a pillow or plas tic ba.g over your head, but that's sissy and willi take too long. The popular way was always with the rope.

5 ~AlWAYS"1

Public hangings as far back as the middle ages found many of the executed males woody and ejaculated post mortem. In erotic asphyxia one hand was for your manhood, the other for tugging the rope you hang yourself

with, then when too little supply of oxygen gets to your brain. you pass out, letting go of the rope and getting your oxygen supply back, alive. You die because the noose

is tied too tightly on you r neck, con stri cti ng srter i es that cs rry oxygen-rich blood to heart and head. That. or the oxygen came too little too late. and your heart already stopped.

Even when you have a fail-saFe· plan, il the noose doesn't kill

you. the combined intensity of an orgasm and the high you

get from hypoxia drums your heart

into a frenzy. For healthy people that's

fireworks For old, unhealthy guys. that's a heart attack.

SIS fHIR[ A SAr[ WAY TO ~UU TUIS om

Doing autoerotic

as p hyxia tio n "correctly" would mean mind-blowing orgasm and death. The diHerence between suffocation and asphyxiation-though both have to do

with lack of oxygen supply-is most dictionaries define

the latter as a way of dying. Which is exactly the reason they didn't refer to it as autoerotic suffocation That said, try to be safe,

If you have been closely following my life, you know that I joined the running phenomenon a couple of months back. So when The Chief found out that the 4th Mens Health All-Terrain Race was going to be held, he ordered his men to have my singlet and race bib secured

for the 10K-run category, With less than a week to prepare, I happily obliged.

After all, I'm super,

I knew I got past the first ordeal of Joining races like this when I arrived early at the venue (around four in the morning). I had enough time to eat and rest a bit and stretch my muscles before the gun fired at 5:50AM.

I look a glimpse of the course map to see what's out there. A mix of pavement, grass, sand and dirt

made me want to go farther.

I got past a couple of runners taking off their shoes to avoid it from getting wet, which wasn't

a smart thing to do-up ahead were more water and wet trail and getting your shoes submerged was unavoidable.

I took a quick detour to empty my shoes from sand and pebbles

TRAil RUNNING MUST-HAV(S

Simply put, what you should bring

TRAINING

You can run, yes. But only up to where your body can endure it, It's good to have months of running experience before you engage in such activity. You can finish a 10K course with "will power" but the "thrill" might turn into "iii".

TRAil RUNNING SHOES

Unlike any other road race, a trail will have you running on uneven terrain, A good pair shoes that

are tested for this of kin d of run, water and concrete road would be a wise choice as a running mate. Trail Running shoes experts Keen is a great brand to try-our mascot used the Powerline kind and swears of lr's abiliry to keep your feer happy.

and compact dirt trail. The heat of the sun was beginning to wear me down. I was also starting to feel the abuse my knee had so far taken.

I was about to give up when, 10 and behold, a six-foot blonde with a cu te ass and Ion q-leqqed leg s hollers "Nice heedosndl" as she 'ran past me. This fortunate incident motivated me to push for the final five kilometers->! wanted to get her number.

I was the 87th to cross the finish line out of 266 runners with

a time of 1:10:49, not bad for just my second 10K run and first on

a trail. Sadly, though, the blonde was nowhere in sight. But, in a way, that was kind of good news for me, To sdd more punishment to my about-to-blow knees-say I did get lucky with her or I get rejected and get slapped really hard-will surely derail my plans of ruling the same race next year.

So, do I recommend you do it? Only if you're fit as I am-and if you weren't drunk th€ day beFore, like I was. Otherwise, do not

The hard-hitting journalist and Shadow of Doubt author on the justice system and death threats

Did yOIll e)<pect death threats followin", the release of the book?

NO,I did not expect it Three days ran of text messages and I only realized they were threats when 1 reread it. As policy, first rule here is to make it public-it's the protection journalists have. I also went to the police, filed a blot ter report, filled

all the forms Mercifully, the death th rea Is stop ped.

What prompted you to write the book and reveal the real names of people involved? Actuallv, it's a journalistic instinct to 90 to places where people don't

go, to places I like to call" dark corners." Nobody has written a book like this so I decided that I'd do it, maybe to bla,ze a new trai]. 'How d'o yo .. check the credibility of sources?

By corroboration. Say, for example, a source tells me somethinq: I have to check that fact with another source to countercheck it. That is unless the source tells me, "I was there, I saw it, it happened." Also, if the source's claim is supported by a paper trail, better.

You were requested to "at least protect the name of the Supreme Court."

26 FH M JULY zoio """"'.fhrn.com .oh

I was never convinced that my book was going to demean the institu tion in the ~rst place. I

talk only of certain people in the institution, and not the institution itself. I keep stressing that this is just about some people who tarnish the name of the Supreme Court, That's why I stood my ground. This will not destroy the institution. What do you think is the root problem ·of our justice system? There is a weakness in the selection process. It has become very politicized, wherein the appointing power, the President, chooses the officers based on loyalty and not on judicial philosophy or character. That's how they were able to enter. And then the body that chooses

the candidate, they're very, parang, "men's Club" minded, very insider, They do not thoroughly look at the backqround. I devoted a long chapter on this because I see it as part of the problem.

What's your take on Chief Justice Corona's appointment? As lay person Iis, and not a

lawyer, I read the Constitution,

I understand English. I r's very

plain, The President cannot make appointments during election, 60 days before the election and up to the end of the President's term. It's so clear. But the Supreme Court decided to exempt themselves. They said, "No, the President

can appoint" So it is clearly unconstitutional but still the SC

lAlYMAN'S BonK ClUB W[ READ, YOU YAP!

... are nothing without crime and suspense

Shadow of Doubt; Probing the Supreme Court

Marites v,tug

The veteran journalist hoped her book would "spur a national conversation." Indeed, her sentiment isn't a far cry from what her book was able to do: strip the Supreme Court bare of its unapproachable veneer and expose the shady deals that happen behind the scenes. Here are some excerpts:

-From the prologue: "That was my introduction to

the big yet small world of the Supreme Court, Their decisions affect 90 million

decided to rule on it, they made

it the law. I Feel strongly about

it. I know it's difficult to take a confrontational position here but I think Noynoy Aquino is standing on strong constitutional ground to question the appointment.

What happens then if he refu,ses to take his oath from the Chief Justice?

I think N oynoy wants to make a statement that he does not agree with the SC's decision to allow the midnight appointrnent of a chief justice. It's symbolic and I agree that a President need not take oath before the chief justice. Although it's tradition. he can always choose somebody else to conduct it, like a notary public for instance, because it's not written in the constitution.

Filipinos but they belong

to a tight, elite circle whose members often protect their own."

• "The Iglesia ni Cristo,

for its part, looks out after

its businesses, mainly the New Era University and its affiliates, and seeks to protect its religious turf. Thus" they need allies in government. 'They're ,more interested in economic power,' explained Fernando Elisterio, an authority on the I,NC. 'They use political power~their voting bloc-to put people

in government with goal

of keeping their economic power.'"

You did a collaboration with Everything but the Girl's Tracey Thorn. H ow was that like?

We met a couple of times. She's a pretty busy mom, she's got her kid, so it was kind of hard to meet her. Bu t yeah, we recorded two songs for her new album, which is a cover, and then she recorded vocals For one of my songs, too. And

I'm intending never to release that sonq because it's too beeutilull just want to keep it to myself.

What sort of music did you listen to, growing up?

Mostly I'm inspired by things that are not music-comedy, books, movies. lt's hard when you're inspired by music because you start to make music about music eventually. I want to be something more substsn rial.

What would you say i$ the single most influential thing for you?

In the beginning, it

was music. That was

the reasonl started

to make music Or maybe it was the Filct that I went to an school and hated it. And I wanted to do something completely different.

I was listening a lot to The Avalanches and Jonathan .Richman. So I'd say those were the two most influential.

Are you surprised that you have a following here?

Not anymore, because when I put out my first record, I think I heard from Universal.Records almost instantly. l.ike, no one cared in America or Britain, or even in Europe. But just as soon as I put out my first record in Sweden, I heard from a,11 these places in Asia sol can't say I'm surprised anymore. But back then,l was.

Your songs are well-crafted stories. Do you edit yourself?

In a way. I would say I go bsck sometimes and I think, maybe this is what I meant. Sometimes when you write, you. are not rea Ily sure.

Your latest album Night Falls Over Korteda/a has just tu rned three years old. When are you com ing out with new material?

We'll see. I write song'S all the time, I have songs for many albums, but the problem is, I haven't found the golden thread-something that links them

all together. And then there's a lot of those boring issues about sampling. I'm thinkinq of putting out an EP this year-if it works out.

BIG SOUND, SMAll HflJl[WS

YOU CROSS MY PATH

THE CHARLATANS (Universal)

Dropping the honk-filled guitar riffs

and clever lyrics of earlier days for

a smattering of electrornca and sophomoric words, Tim Burgess. and company dish out songs that sound more like a New Order tribute than a Charlatans set list. How many albums have The Charlatans released since 198B, by the way? We forget. The fact that mast people have stopped counting is a precedent of their latest release.

ROOTS Of NATUR~

ROOTS OF NATURE (Sony I BMG) Roots of Nature successfully mixes funky slap-and-pop basslines with thrash rock, detuned ethnic riffs and percussions. And that's just a fragment of what their self-titled debut actually sounds like. It's thrash rock, funk, ethnic music, slow rock-it's punk. You get a little slide guitar, arpeggios, complicated basslines, which are all done acoustically. No effects,

no samples, no electronic instruments here-just three guys rocking out.

GRAfflTII

CHRIS BROWN (SONY/BMG)

It's tempting to just leave this album alone-unopened, unlistened to. II is, after all, the R&B artist's latest release after that much" publicized bad boyfriend incident with ex-GF Rihanna. But Graffifri is, despite everything, a good album. Oanceable tracks like "I Can Transform Va" and "What I Do" are catchy enough to rival B.E.P.'s"Boom, Boom, Pow," while slower tracks such as "Sing Like Me" and "Lucky Me" will stop haters from yapping and make them listen for a minute.

it off for about a minute. Then I went straight back to the couch 50 that Ate wouldn't notice. Ate came out, and we acted as if nothing had happened.

After about two hours, Ate went down to get something from their van. When I was certain that she

was on her way down, I ran to their room, took out the yummy dick of my bayaw, and jacked it off again for about two minutes, said goodbye and kissed his shiny head.

A family fortune built on rubbing alcohol and coldwave lotion sprung this palace na hindi lang pampamilya, pang-sports pol from the ground.

Sam's house, or what is going to be hers, will be built on her short

but memorable stay at the Pinoy Big Brother house, where a video snippet of her swimming alone in Kuya's house has so far generated 155,097 views on YouTube.1f a similar video of big winner M ela i in the same pool had ellisted, and uploaded, its source would be a future segment story for Gus Abelgas' SOCO, Scene of the Crime Operatives.

It will be built on the success of the movie Petrang Kebeyo, where Sam joins a star-studded cast. It is our hope you will watch it to see Sam. Maybe to see Vice Ganda as well, but don't ever tell that to anyone.

I t will be built on the strength of her management, Viva, who is packaging her as the new "crush n9 beyen" This FHM coming-out celebration is the best place to start.

It will be built on the lucrative endorsement she has recently inked with

Bench, of which the logica I consequence is her appearance in Bench Uncut: A Bold Look at the Future, the big show that happens on July 2 at the Big Dome, and in massive billboards along Edsa celebrating pure pulchritude. Accidents are bound to happen, but traffic will be tolerable.

But you must know that Sam has been to your house long beFore ali these.

Sam has been to your house.

Sam lives with you. In the millions of toothpastes and shampoos whose boxes and sachets are stamped with her face. You should be asha med iF your toilets

·Zipper mo bukas."

For the record, you said no to this shoot the first time. Or rather, your mother did. Why?

We're Christians. That's the truth. So this whole posinq-for-a-rnen's-maqazine thing was really something new for us. We initially looked at the previous issues and we thought that the magazine was too sexy for us.

A Genuine Tool for Monitoring Nature

Yo!;!r mom, in<::identally,is a 'lawyer., How isit to have an attorney mommy?

lt's actually real'ly cool. My mom is pretty different; she's open to anything and everything,

Yes, she looks like it.

Did you see? Ha ha ha! I'm glad she's

a lawyer because I know she's there whatever happens to me. She reads all my contracts before I sign them. She's very outspoken so when she doesn't like sornethinq she'll say it.

Apart from God, what saved this important cover?

You guys sent new pegs that were more artsy, which were better for me because I know I'm not as sexy as the other qirls, That's your opinion, ·of course. We have abo ... t a millio.n readers who may say yo ... 're wrong.

Ha ha ha! Well, I don't have big boobs or a big butt like some of them, snd I'm not really what you would call a sexy star either, So I'm treating this as something very different, a challenqe.

May,be what you are not is a bombshell. B ... t our readers will have to ag:ree that yo ... 'regirlfriend material. Are yo u ?

I think I am I think lrn the one you might be able to introduce to your parents because my mom raised me well naman.

But!;a" you be a bitch as well?

N,o.i am a very chill person, I don't really get angry or shout or whatever ksv«

ss mga tapings n<i kailangan ang g<iM nahihirapan aka.

Abare?

No, .1 think I'm a happy, get-go persorl, I could be the person who will try things once, Going back to the reason yo u initially said no-let's just say some Ch ... rch conservatives don't approve of us. Can we tell them now that this is a Christian-approved shoot and can we aU l u st get along?

Ha ha hal The family is actually very open, and mom's really cool. Some people think of Christians as conservatives, that they're always church. church and church. My mom and I are different, we're open to anything and everything. I was just clear with the parameters of this shoot: I didn't want it to be super-super sexy: I can't

go naked; and not all-out in two-piece swimsuits,

The apprehensi,,"s done away with, what do you expect now from your FHM coming out? .July has always been the biggest issue, being the 100 Sexiest Month.

I hope it s till sells big, like you sa id it always does! I hope that people will see

a different side of me, You see, before FHMI had appeared on another one of your titles, Candy. which ,is for teens so it's like I'm growing up on this one.

Being an FHM cover girl u s u ally brings along a new set of opportunities.'" your case, being. a model, probably a slew of llquer co.mmerdals thatma.y require you to shed some ski". Are you willing to take them on?

And this is the interesting part: long before Pinoy Big Brothe« you were already a household "fixture" in the form of your fa.ceand hair stamped on toothpaste boxes and shampoo sachets. How d'oe.s it feel to be inthe toilet of every Pinoy home?

Ha ha ha, masaya! It's interesting to think that people know me. althouqh they might not really know me. when they

see those toothpaste tubes or shampoo

sachets. But it's really just a job, I've been modeling since I was 10. I don't rea,lly know how I ended up being the face of these products, maybe the caster just likes me. plus I've been working with them for a while. I went through about so VTRs before I got my first ad, a poster for a softdnnk. 'I had to wait for hours and hours for my turn and when I'm finally there. Five minutes lang aka neodoon. It's hard work, not like what most people think.

Wha,t was the best TV ad you made? The Voice combo sandwich commercial .. yung "Zipper rna bukas." Everyone remembered me for that.

Are you the 'highest-paid product model?

Am I? I used to ha ha hal I, used to get paid well back when I was really doing it. Six figures to the sevens?

Six, ha ha hal And may I add that beauty products like shampoos pay higher than, say, crackers and the like.

Right. Toothless, hairless hags can do crackers but never toothpaste or shampoo. Life is never fair.

Ha ha hal I'm just doing modeling because I can. I mean not everyone is given a chance to model so I'm very happy that I can do it_

"Because you can" ... that's a g'reat line because you:'re .u;cepting you're beautiful. and not dow.nplaying it with bullshit. So why won't you say the same thi,ng with "sexy"?

I can say that I'm sexy pero ibi! yung pagkil-sexy ko, not the boobs arid the butt kind.

Okay, it's true that we care deeply abou.t breasts .15 this what bothers women?

I don't mind rhern=l mean my breasts They're firle with me. I'm happy with my boobs, ha he hal

We also know that you're a fashion stu.den.t at St. Benilde. Did you graduate?

I stopped. I still have a year and a half left. Before showbiz, the plan was to have my own boutique and my own line of clothes. We'U consider yo u an expert just the same. We want to know: can bras and, panties get any better than they already are? We mean , new designs that are even benet to look at and best to take off?

I think they've done everything! Hmrnrn.. maybe they can just make bras rhst ilre actually tops.

Women reading this wHI want to rip yo'u: to shreds now. You have a tattoo on your left foot. What is it and why there?

For me tattoo is body art. So I got one. Why there? Because I wanted to be different. Mo.t girls would have their, on their backs or the neck, para maiba lang. But this is the only one I have. One is enough for me!

There was one PBB moment where you apparently said that you find

it disappointing that men are intimidated !by you. We can't see why they shouldn't, What's the key here? I guess kapalan mo lang mukha mo ha ha hal Actually, it's true. You just approach and be friends. That's another thing. Be friends first. Feeling mo perfect siya yun pala hindi nemen.

In seheel, being tagged a "repeater" involves being eaught in a string of negative notions that are hard to outgrow. If, say, people learn you took flfth grade five· times, chances are they'd think you often got

into brawls, smoked in the school baekyard, upskirted lady dassmates on more than one occasion. It doesn't matter that you sucked at Math, Sdenc.e, .English and Home Economics all at the same time. You're a repeater? Then surely you lacked some disc;ipllne.

But here in FHM. things are different.

Repea,ters like Faye Bordeos are held in high esteem, bestowed the "I have looks that you'll never get tired of" crown, placed in a. pedestal. That's exactly why you see this commercial model and FHM third-timer in swimsuits as white as her skin here once more, the sun shining brightly in obvious agreement. And why we're talking less from hereon and letting her do the speaking. Think of it as an equivalent of a valedictory speech ...

Just to make things clear, this is your second appearanee i" the magaxine. And third time if you include the gig I did for FHM.com.ph. The last time you guys had me on print was in 2006. when I won the RAN Online contest.

Or was it just yesterday? You look more awe.so.m.e now. What have you bee" upto?

After the shoot, I pursued modeling. And then I got more projects, but not really sexy roles-yung iba for telecom ads.

ca. ta I ogu loS, cele nd a rs,

I n that span ·of time you could've made a name fo·r yourself as an actress now. 15 it a perscnalehcice to 90 stead'y?

It is. Kasi may movie and TV offers nemen aim kaya lang sexy talaga. Kss! gusto nil" kasing-daring nr.mg sexy stars nung time na usc yung sexy films. Up until now I'm still thinking about it.

G'la.d you don't think of FHM as ~sexy talaga."

Ha ha hal Comfortable naman ako sa FHM kes! pag sinabi ko kung eno lang gusto ko, nssusunod. Hindi namsn n'nyo ako pinipilit.

I", relationships, are you' the dominant or the submissive type? Submissive. I'm a relationship kind of girl, so when I'm reslly in love, talagang all out dun I"ng sa boyhiend ko, kahit mayroong ibang umaaligid.

offer- And since I was not interested, I didn't bother go into the details-kung ano mang brand yun or what.

What's the one thing your man can't makeyoudo?

It's true I'm submissive and obedient,

pew sinusunod ko lang naman yung mga s.a ringin ko ay tama. If it's about work, ako ang nesusunod. But if it's about partying, I obey. Kasi when I was single, Wednesdays to Saturdays, I,'d be out, But if he tells me not to go out. kahit one whole week wala akong gimmick okay lang_

What do yol,j hate bei.ng asked? My measurements, my sizes. I feel conscious about it. When it's for work siyempre okay lang. But if other people. my friends or guys ask me about my measurement, I find it awkward.

So for the record, to keep them from askin.g any further, let them read it here.

Ha ha ha! Okay .. .it's 35-25·36.

You said you:re loyal. But when the guy is the one who gets unfaithful, do you seek revenge?

No. pero magba-vanish na lang eko. Walang breakup, wala nang usap-usap_ /VIawawala na lang ako. I'd change my number, I'd delete him on Facebook. That quick? You wouldn't grant

him a first offense paro.le?

Depends on what kind of cheating he does, Is it having an affair with another woman or just going to a dub)

Okay, let's try some sample situations; You discovered 320GB worth of porn flicks in his hard. drive. I watch porn! Pew I'd ask him, "Why hide them?" I'm cool wirh that.

He went to a nightclub or a sauna with his guy fr.iends.

You know, guys are guys_ Sana hindi ko na lang melemen. But wait.let me take that back. Ayoko talaga, so goodbye na yun. You found out he takes videos of you while doing the deed.

Wa/a., keso na yan. I could sue him for doing ~hat. If he gives me all the copies, we could still talk about i L But if he threatens me na ilalabas niya. l'd send him to jail

At a bar, he got drunk and' someone kissed him. He kissed .back. But you weren't there,sQmeone just told you it happened.

Kung reliable n3man yung source ko, and maram'n9 witnesses. siguro I'd ask for space munil. Cool off ksn».

It was a 9'uy.

You can let cancer catch you by surprise.

Or, you can stay one step ahead.

That's what my Mom and 1 did when we got cervical cancer protection.

Cervical cancer is the 2nd-highest killer cancer of women in the Philippines.

It's caused by HPV, a virus that up to 80% of women will get in their lifetime.

I'm protecting my future against a cancer that I can do something about today.

You should, too.

Crowne Plaza'. 7 Comers is motivated

to letting the cuisine it serves evolve. A long-time FHM favorite-we hold meetings with potential cover girl. there-the A.ianinfused and inspired interiors are a fitting backd rap to the su m ptuous b u ffe t tha t ca n chenqe from Vietnamese to Creole, and it's likely that you won't come back to the same menu twice.

But what will never change is the buffet's Famed prime rib, served in a way that will make any steak connoisseur swoon. Crowne Plaza's Food and Beverage Manager Gibeth Gloria puts it this way: "When you ask For a, cut of our prime rib, make

sure to tell the chef if you want it a little smaller." And it's true, every customer is indeed entitled to a steak-or two-large enough to deserve its own plate and cooked to your preference,

In addition to the steak. the bu Het serves 200 -plus dishes divided into seven stations, hence the name. BuFfet regulars like Japanese, Chinese and salads are worth standing numerous times for.

But the real prize here is the buffet's Indian food. From the pita bread all the way to the curries, 7 Corner's Indian station is a journey to uncharted flavors any self-respecting Foodie should undertake.

Hands down the most "photogenic" restaurant FHM has ransacked-there's a glass waterfall, cozy alcoves plush Asian-inspired interiors and art-Paseo Uno owes its look to a team of Japanese designers who used water as the resto's main theme,

But the Food isn't to be sneered at either. There's actually plenty to chow down: a huge array of Chinese and Japanese dishes and appetizers; fresh seafood and cold hers d' oeuvre' a massive selection for sugar fiends, which includes tarts, cakes, a crepe sta tion, and chocolate Fountains, But we suggest you skip all that to make room For Paseo Uno's signature carving station. There's pork, rib-eye and lamb along with a selection of seafood cooked any way you want.

"We actually pioneered the 'live kitchen' buffet setup," says Mandarin Oriental Director of Communications Charisse Chuidian. At present a Swisstrained Pinoy Executive Chef leads

a team of about 20 chefs. all visibly preparing food in each station.

The menu is slightly more upscalewhich explains the slight increase in

price. There's a foie gras station, where Mandarin's Public Relations manager Erica Aquino tells IJS one cholesterollovinq customer used "to make pa/aman for his pizza slices." She also tells us that four customers once ate SO oysters and a whole slab of rib-eye steak in one sitting, which only proves that gluttons are indeed welcome here.
