Candeo Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi

Our home for our 7-day/6-night stay in Osaka was to be the 4-star hotel‧ Candeo Hotels Osaka Shinsaibashi, set in a modern, 15-storey high-rise building.  Its 180 rooms offer 4-star comfort with air-conditioning, free WiFi, a mini ref, coffee and tea-making facility and streaming services. The rooms here are Minimalist, with smooth wood paneling, crisp white linens, and low sofas built in beside windows overlooking the city.  Ice machines are located on every floor. We stayed in a 24 sq. m.  (258 sq. ft.) non-smoking Twin Room with Sofa Bed (Room 1406} with 2 single beds and a sofa bed.

 

Room 1406 (Twin Room with Sofa Bed)

Other room choices, all non-smoking, are the 19 sq. m. (204 sq. ft.) King Room (with 1 King Bed, fits 2 people), 24 sq. m. (258 sq. ft.) Twin Room (with 2 single beds, fits 2 people), the 34 sq. m.

Mitsutera Temple

The hotel stands out as the building also houses the ancient Mitsutera Temple that rises up in the hotel’s glass atrium like a special exhibit at a museum. Here, a monk leads daily services every morning, just one of several traditional features at this otherwise contemporary hotel. Drawing classes are offered every evening.

24-hour Front Desk

Hotel lobby and coffee shop

Its 24-hour Front Desk, lobby and coffee shop are both located on the fourth floor. The buffet line at the coffee shop was small but fine for quick breakfast which was appetizing international fare for all tastes.  Miso soup and tofu plus bread, scrambled eggs, sausages, steamed rice, salad, fruits, cereals, coffee (Latte, Americano, Cappucino, etc.), cocoa, tea and juices (apple, orange, etc.) are served.

The nice and friendly staff here were accommodating and can speak very good English. The housekeeping was great. The rooftop has Japanese Spa with an open-air bath, plus adjacent indoor baths and saunas divided for men and women. Guests can unwind in the sauna or hot tub but you need to be naked as swimwear is not allowed.

 

Sink

Our room, though small, was comfortable and functional. However, there is absolutely no storage space for anything in the bedroom. No closets, no cupboard, no shelf, no sideboard, no drawers. You have to leave everything in the suitcases or hang on the 5 hangers. We used the window sill as a shelf.  The flat screen TV has no international TV channels or English programs.

 

Shower and bathtub

The toilet, shower and sink are separate from each other. The sink (of course without a shelf) is in the middle of the hallway which was very inconvenient and uncomfortable. While inside the toilet, which is sensor/motion activated, the lights automatically turn on when you enter but goes out after a few seconds of no movement.

 

The Smart toilet

The hotel is perfectly located right in the heart of Osaka, in the middle of Shinsaibashi and Namba. Louis Vuitton is just a block away. There's a 7/11 next door. Restaurants, bars, cafes and shopping are all within a short walk. Even if it's in the shopping district, the entrance is located at Mido-suji, the main street for all the luxury brands but away from all the noise and crowd.

It is located 200 m. (a 3-min. walk) from the Glico Man Sign; 450 m. from Subway Shinsaibashi; 500 m. from Shinsaibashi Train Station, Osaka Namba Subway and Ōsaka Namba Train Station; 950 m. from the Shimoyamatobashi Monument and Motomachinaka Park; 1.3 kms. from the Kokoni Sunaba Ariki Monument; 1.4 kms. from Naniwa Park; 1.5 kms. from Nipponbashi Park; 1.5 kms. from Stage Ku; 1.7 kms. from Kamomecho Park; 1.8 kms. from Shiokusa Park; 2.2 kms from the OSTEC Exhibition Hall; 19 kms. from Itami Airport; 41 kms. from Kobe Airport and 44 kms. from Kansai International Airport.

Philippine Launch of InvisaCook (Makati City, Metro Manila)

 

Philippine Launch of InvisCook at Bar Pintxos in 8 Rockwell

A new “invisible” induction cooktop that integrates directly beneath the countertop, representing a pivotal shift in high-end kitchen design, is now in the Philippines.  Called InvisaCook, it taps into a growing preference for kitchens that look less like work zones and more like extensions of the living area.  The device slides beneath a custom worktop designed by Spanish interior architect Luis Enrique Castillo of Linea Casa which leaves the surface completely clean. No burners, no glass panels, no metal grates—just a clean slab that doubles as your cooking space. 

Interior architect Luis Enrique Castillo of Linea Casa

By removing the visual interruption of a traditional hob, the technology resolves a long-standing aesthetic obstacle for interior designers and meets the rising market demand for seamless, uninterrupted surfaces in luxury residential and commercial projects. This concept is starting to catch attention, especially among homeowners leaning into Minimalist, “everything-in-its-place” interiors. 

 

The custom worktop designed by interior architect Luis Enrique Castillo

Last March 18, InvisaCook was launched in the Philippines at Bar Pintxos at 8 Rockwell in Makati City. InvisaCook is exclusively sold, locally, by Haig & Lee who brought in the technology.  Mr. Alvin R. Lim, General Manager/Managing Director of Haig & Lee Import Export Corp., said, “Designers have been wrestling with the eyesore of a visible hob for years.” He added, “The moment we learned about InvisaCook – a truly invisible induction cooktop and the local penchant of homeowners for seamless, Instagram‑ready interiors, we saw how it will be the kitchen technology of the future and the perfect fit for the local market.”

 

Mr. Alvin R. Lim, General Manager/Managing Director of Haig & Lee

Like any induction hob, InvisaCook works by creating an electromagnetic field that heats magnetic cookware directly. It also won’t heat unless it detects the right kind of compatible cookware and, if something unusual is placed on top, it shuts off. It’s more energy-efficient, compared to gas, and doesn’t produce open flames, which could be a plus for some households. 

Lim explained, “The technology is powerful enough to send the field through the countertop material.” He noted, “Sintered stone is the ideal medium – it’s non‑ferrous, durable, and lets the magnetic field pass without loss.” The unit offers precise temperature control and can be set up in one to five zones. Users can operate it via a dedicated app. Lim said, “You can control the hob from your tablet or phone. With InvisaCook, you get a high‑performance cooking hob without the need to sacrifice aesthetics.” 

Mr. Fabio Biavashi, Director of InvisaCook Asia-Pacific

Installation is quick. “The installation itself is surprisingly swift – once the slab and power are ready, the unit slides in and is hooked up in 1‑2 hours,” Lim said. He added, “We coordinate closely with the installer to ensure the cut‑out is perfect and the electrical work meets safety standards.” 

Safety features include pan detection, a foreign‑object‑detection system with a flashing red LED and audible alert, and a surface‑temperature monitor. Lim noted, “The hob won’t heat unless a compatible pan is detected, and it has a foreign‑object‑detection system that shuts down with a flashing red LED and audible alert.”

Arch. Luis Enrique Castillo praised the design freedom. He said, “Because the cooktop is hidden, we can treat countertops as part of a design instead of as a functional element. For me as a designer this is key to create unique spaces with pure forms.” He added, “The invisible cook‑top creates a seamless, functional and beautiful kitchen, especially for condominiums where space is limited and open‑plan design provides a premium and unique experience to a home.”

A Spanish feast of paella, tapas and Jamon Serrano

Castillo also highlighted the social impact. “When the cooking surface disappears, the social space expands. You can have dinner parties where the kitchen and dining area truly merge, without anyone ever seeing a burner,” he said.

InvisaCook comes in five models, all ranging from 97 °F (36 °C) to 400 °F (205 °C). The system promises up to 90 % thermal efficiency and can boil water up to 50 % faster than gas. It includes a three‑year warranty.

During the Philippine launch, Bar Pintxos, known for its authentic Spanish taps and pintxos, treated media guests to a Spanish feast of paella, callos, tapas and Jamon Serrano paired with Sangria and wine.  Afterwards, Bar Pintxos’ young Chef Mikel Arregi Satrustegi, from the Spanish coastal town of Orio in the Basque region of Guipuzcoa, showcased the IvisaCook technology by cooking paella, live, directly on a seamless concealed surface, demonstrating the convenience of a “no stove, no burner” setup.

Bubur Lambuk: Sharing a Ramadan Tradition (Makati City, Metro Manila)

 

Bubur lambuk

Last Tuesday, March 10, in the spirit of the holy, fasting month of Ramadan, the Embassy of Malaysia in Manila celebrated the tradition of sharing and community (gotong-royong) during Ramadan by preparing and sharing the traditional bubur lambuk at the Malaysian ambassador’s residence (1487 Carissa Street, Dasmariñas Village, Makati City).

 

Ambassador Dato' Abdul Malik Melvin Castelino

His Excellency Malaysian Ambassador to the Philippines Dato' Abdul Malik Melvin Castelino hosted the event which highlights a long-standing tradition where the Malaysian embassy shares this special dish with friends, government officials, partners, and the community to promote unity and friendship and foster strong bilateral relations between Malaysia and the Philippines. 

 

Media guests

According to the ambassador, “preparing bubur lambuk is not just about cooking—it is a symbol of community unity. The way bubur lambuk is prepared is a community affair, where we bring together friends and community members to cook this delicious porridge and distribute it to our friends, families, and colleagues in the community.” 

 

Chef Amnar Syafig Bin Ayob

He added that “activities like this strengthen understanding, respect, and peace between Malaysia and the Philippines. It is a truly cultural exercise of bonding, mutual understanding, respect, tolerance, and peaceful co-existence. I hope that during this month of Ramadan, this spirit of peace, reflection, and helping the marginalized continues.”

 

Bubur lambuk ingredients

Bubur lambuk is a well-known traditional, savory Malaysian rice porridge dish designed to be nourishing for breaking the fast during the month of Ramadan in Malaysia. It is made with rice, meat (beef), spices, coconut milk and various vegetables, and is often distributed to family and friends.  This year's bubur lambuk was shared with President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., Cabinet Secretaries, members of the Congress, senior government officials, members of the diplomatic corps, and friends of Malaysia.

The cooking demonstration

Mr. Amnar Syafig Bin Ayob, the prominent embassy chef, together with embassy staff, prepared the dish.  Responsible for culinary diplomacy, promoting Malaysian cuisine, he frequently collaborates and works closely, for events, with Malaysian and Filipino chefs, including Chef Edwin Santos of Makati Shangri-La and Chef Miguel Cabel Moreno, to foster diplomatic ties through food.  Last November 2025, he recently led a two-week Malaysian gastronomic showcase at Circles Event Café, Makati Shangri-La in featuring dishes like rojak pasembur, nasi minyak, and mee kari.

 

Ready to serve bubur lambuk.....

He demonstrated the traditional cooking process of bubur lambuk which takes around three hours. They started the process at 8 AM. The ingredients used were similar to Filipino lugaw - onions, garlic, lemongrass, salt and, for aroma they used pandan, chives and cilantro. They also used jasmine rice for the congee and coconut milk. 

Mr. Mohd Faizal Sharip, Malaysian Tourism Attaché and Director, emphasized the importance of tourism ties between Malaysia and the Philippines, including the exchange of culture, food, and experiences, saying “In terms of tourism, it’s not only tourism but also culture. We can promote and introduce food, tourism, and gastronomy relations—Philippine food delicacies in Malaysia and Malaysian promotions in the Philippines.”

Highlighting the importance of the Philippines as a key tourism partner of Malaysia, Mohd Faizal Sharip added, “In terms of overall tourist arrivals in Malaysia, the Philippines ranks seventh. That shows how important the Philippines is to the Malaysian market. Even though our major markets are Singapore, Thailand, China, and India, the Philippines remains an important partner in the Southeast Asian region.”  

This Ramadan, aside from the preparation and sharing of bubur lambuk, the Malaysian Embassy also carried out various activities including corporate social responsibility initiatives for communities and schools in the Philippines. Malaysian tourism officials also announced the upcoming Philippine–Malaysia Culinary Exchange, at the end of April, which will feature a Malaysian food promotion at Solaire Resort, Entertainment City, introducing traditional Malaysian cuisine to Filipinos. Simultaneously, a Philippine food promotion will be held in Malaysia to showcase Filipino cuisine and delicacies to the Malaysian market.

The Pokémon Company announces the latest news about the Nintendo Switch software title Pokémon Legends: Z-A and the Nintendo Switch 2 software title Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, as well as the Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC.  The new Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension video is now available on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.

Unlike regular Garchomp, Mega Garchomp Z is constantly in the air. Its wings have grown huge, and a number of large, sinister claws have appeared along their fronts.  From up in the sky, it turns its piercing gaze down on its target. It now has small wings on either side of its head to improve its flight capabilities. 

Compared to previously discovered Mega Garchomp, Mega Garchomp Z is even more adept at styles of combat that make use of its speed.   Mega Garchomp Z no longer has the Ground type—it is a Dragon type only. Its Dragon-type energy has grown more powerful, and it can now remain constantly hovering. What’s more, its Dragon-type moves have grown more agile and are strengthened because Mega Garchomp Z uses them while in flight, adding to their momentum. 

The wings on its arms have expanded, letting them attain even more lift. These wings are lined with large, sharp claws that rend opponents even more aggressively than Mega Garchomp’s scythe- shaped wings, and they can shred targets with a gouging motion.
