NICKI MINAJ Soars High with ‘Starships’

After her tremendous feat with “Super Bass”, NICKI MINAJ proves she's not slowing down anytime soon with the release of her latest single "Starships." The song lyrics aptly describes this single’s smashing success as it continues to soar high through the charts --- ‘Starships were meant to fly /Hands up and touch the sky / Can't stop 'cause we're so high /Let's do this one more time.’ It has broken through globally charting Top 20 at iTunes in over 40 countries and on its way to 5 million tracks sold. Her newest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, has also sold nearly 1.5 million albums worldwide.

Nicki Minaj’s 22-track second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (Deluxe Edition), is not a reissue of the original Pink Friday album -- despite its confusing title. It's an all-new release, led by its official first single, the club-ready anthem "Starships." For this album, Nicki worked with a variety of producers such as Hit-Boy, Dr. Luke, Ester Dean, Rico Beats, RedOne and Oak. She also collaborated with artists like Cam’ron & Rick Ross in “I Am Your Leader”, 2 Chainz in “Beez In the Trap”, Lil Wayne in “Roman Reloaded”, Nas, Drake & Young Jeezy in “Champion”, Chris Brown in “Right By My Side”, Bobby V in “Sex in the Lounge” and Beenie Man in “Gun Shot” plus the urban tunes “Roman Holiday”, “Come On a Cone”, “Hov Lane”, “Whip It”, “Automatic”, “Beautiful Sinner”, “Marilyn Monroe”, “Young Forever”, “Fire Burns”, “Stupid Hoe”, “Turn Me On”, “Va Va Voom”, “Masquerade” and the next official single, “Pound the Alarm”.

 

Nicki Minaj is a Trinidadian-born American rapper, singer, songwriter and voice actress. Her first album, Pink Friday, debuted in November 2010 where it peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and is certified Gold in the Philippines. She became the first female solo artist to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Nicki Minaj is set to have an exclusive concert at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on July 11, 2012.

Nicki Minaj’s new album PINK FRIDAY: ROMAN RELOADED STANDARD/DELUXE EDITION is out now in CDs exclusively under MCA Music available at Astroplus and Odyssey Music & Video or online via www.MyMusicStore.com.ph

New Menu Items at Bar Dolci

 

One rainy afternoon we tried Bar Dolci in Burgos Circle at The Fort, Taguig. I'm giddy with excitement because according to a blogger friend, Bar Dolci serves the best Gelato and French Macarons in the Philippines.

  The pictures on the wall looks cool. And I love their signage.

I was so mesmerized by the taste of their espresso! I love the creaminess and the vanilla yogurt on top of my coffee. You ought to try this! Drool!

The salted caramel macarons are sooooo delicious! Hangsaraaap! It is chewy, crispy meringue flavored with sweet caramel with a bursts of salt. This pretty macarons is simply the best in the market today! The next time around that you are in Burgos Circle, don't miss the salted caramel macarons. They're to die for!

These are the peanut butter flavored macarons, they are light and delicious according to my friend. Yes, I'll be honest I wasn't able to taste these. It is a good thing I was able to take pictures of these macarons.

 

I love their quiche! Especially the Spinach and Bacon Provolone, Tomato Basil with Mozzarella Cheese and Quiche Lorraine. Quiche Lorraine is my favorite! It consists of bacon, onion and gruyer cheese. But I don't like the quiche with blue cheese, Roquefort Broccoli. Sorry, it is so strong for my taste bud. I think it is an acquired taste for moneyed people. This is my friend's favorite. She said she and her family always buy molded cheese from Santi's. Hindi ako sosyal kaya di ko siya carry. Ha ha ha!

Quiche is a French word. Quiche /ˈkiːʃ/ KEESH is a savory, open-faced pastry crust dish with a filling of savory custard with cheese, meat or vegetables. There are many variants of quiche,'coz there's also a  wide variety of ingredients available that can be incorporated to this pastry. Quiche Variants are named descriptively in French, like the following: quiche au fromage (quiche with cheese) and quiche aux champignons (quiche with mushrooms) or conventionally florentine (spinach); provençale (tomatoes) and so on.

This ice cream burger reminds me of what we used to eat as a child, pandesal ice cream sandwich. This time around though at Bar Dolci, they call this Gelato Burger.

I was able to taste the burger with Ferrero Gelato filling and it did not disappoint. I love it! Yum yum! My only complaint is that the bread is mabuhaghag, but I bet the management will  improve this, after all they always listen to suggestions and customer feedback. I super love this!

This is Bar Dulci's Turkey & Brie with cranberry chutney sandwich. The ingredients went well together. Yummy! A must try!

 

Honeyed Porkloine with gauda cheese and apple. This sandwich tastes just right.

                                                  Strawberry Ricotta Bruschetta is so yummy. I want more! Ha ha ha!      

 

Freshly made Mango Yogurt Sorbet (Gelato). It's ice cream, really, really good ice cream. Creamy and not too sweet not salty. Next time I'll try the Pistachio flavored Gelato. I heard they're so good and yummy! Awww! Tulo laway na ako! Ha ha ha!

Bar Dolci has more than eighteen different flavors of Gelato available at one time. Ranging from the basic strawberry to the more complex flavors like Salted Caramel Gelato, Pistachio, Ferrero, Thai Tea, White Chocolate Wasabi, Walnut and Dark Chocolate.

When you visit and buy a cup, tell the server to write your name on the board. Every time you visit and buy a cup, ask them to mark your name and when you reach ten (10) you'll get a cup for free. Bar Dolci is such a happy place to be!

These Gelatos are available for take out! Bar Dolci are generous with their servings, they fill the cup right to the brim so it's certainly worth the money. And they come up with two (2) new flavors every month.

Date Night at Bar Dolci every Monday night from 6pm to 10pm! Enjoy our BUY ONE TAKE ONE Gelato with some candlelight and great atmosphere!  

Bar Dolci has Ladies night every Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm! Ladies get a FREE Bar Dolci Salted Caramel Macaron with every purchase of a cup/popsicle of Gelato!

Thanks Mae Ilagan for giving your slot to us! I've never meet you in person yet, but you're really nice to me and I thank God for your good heart. Hugz! 

Thank you very much for the wonderful welcome, Mr. Full of Talents Nicholai David Go! I love your photos! Well done! You deserve a pat on the back, your parents must be very proud of you!
