Basket case

During my grocery run yesterday, the person in front of me had a very eye-catching basket of groceries.

Two of our clients were in her basket - Gardenia bread and Nestle Yogurt.

In that case, it really deserved to be photographced.

(Not) against the grain

As a bread eater, multi-grain bread is one of my go-to types of bread.

Whether it's with cream cheese, butter and jam, Goober or on its own, it never fails to hit the spot.

On today's supermarket run, there was a sudden rush of excitement after seeing this:

Gardenia now has a multi-grain loaf!

It's super yummers!

It's going to be my go-to grain from now on.

Sing(apore) along

Thanks to Jo and Kawei, I’m currently enjoying my SG faves, right here at the office.

Gardenia Fruit and Nut Loaf and Curry puffs!

They travelled a long way, and it was definitely worth the trip. 

Putting the "read" in Bread

As a bread lover, and an avid reader, this book brings together those two aspects of my life in one:

It's a recipe book that was given to us by our client - Gardenia. It's a recipe book which shows a plethora of ways to use and prepare Gardenia bread. 

True to its title, this book really has unlimited ideas on how to transform Gardenia bread into culinary masterpieces.

I've already tried making some, and I can't wait to try these bread recipes at home.

Here comes the Grain!

Aside from the Gardenia Fruit and Nut Loaf in SG, one of their variants that I'd always bring home is their Multigrain Loaf.

The different mix of textures of the grains give the bread a different taste profile and mouth feel that we enjoy at home. We'd usually eat it on its own or with cream cheese.

Imagine my thrill after finding out that they now have a similar product here in MNL!

Multigrain buns!

Gave it a try, and it was as good as the SG loaf!

Now that the multigrain is here, hopefully the Fruit and Nut Loaf will follow suit soon!

Getting Bread-y

And that's a wrap for the Gardenia CDO plant opening event!

That was a lot of fun.

G, that was easy

This is one of the fastest, and easiest commercials to shoot.

It was a wonderful product with wonderful clients, a very nice and very talented celebrity, and the result is a easy, breezy, pretty commercial.



Here's to more commercials like this in 2019!

From animation to live action!

Remember the three animated kids who appeared in our Gardenia Pocket Sandwich commercial?

They're alive!!!

Things like these make my work so much more fun.

Feeling animated!

The last fully animated commercial I did was way back in 2012. It was a lot of work, but definitely a lot of fun.

It's an experience I got to relive this year with this fun and catchy commercial for Gardenia Pocket Sandwich.



Yup, it was a lot of work, but the end result is so nice and uppity, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
