Rambla Cocina Moderna in Salcedo

You'll find a little piece of Barcelona, Spain in Rambla Cocina Moderna.  Their restaurants are designed with an open kitchen and a cocktail bar, where you can see and interact with the chef and bartender and it is named after one of the most famous streets in Barcelona.

Specializing in Spanish food with Mediterranean influences, one of its owners explains, "In Catalunya, we have much more influence from France, Italy, and Greece.  But of course we also have some Spanish influence."  So, the purely Catalan group wanted to express the Mediterranean roots of its native cuisine, which is very different from the cuisine of the interior regions of Spain.

Six years later The Bistronomia Group (from which Rambla is under, together with their other famous restaurants Las Flores, Tomatito and BCN), under the leadership of three young and passionate food and beverage entrepreneurs Sergi Rostoll, Dani Aliaga and Uri Singla, now opens their second branch in Salcedo Village, Makati.

A New Way to Relax at Saltwater Float Center

Finding new ways to relax in just 90 minutes?  Here's something new to try - the Float Pods at The Saltwater Float Center.  Even two-time MVP Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors swears by this method to relax his body from aches and pains after playing on the hard court.

These big Float Pods measures 8 feet by 5 feet wide.  It holds about 12 inches of water, which is saturated in 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt.  This creates a solution more buoyant than the Dead Sea, which makes you float on your back about half in and half out of the water.  The water is kept at the average skin temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, so you don't have to worry that the water might be cold.  

You may also opt to close the Pod for the ultimate sensory experience, or if you're a bit claustrophobic, you can also leave it open.  You also have the option to activate the lights that change color, or if you are bothered by light, you can also keep it off.  There is a small opening in the pod where air can flow freely in and out, and the lid never locks or latches, there is just a handle you can grab if you want to open or close the pod.
