Grilled Edam Cheese and Honey Sandwich

I've been eating a ton of green vegetables lately that I wanted to taste something different, even if maybe they're not really healthy for me. Cheese, especially Cheddar and Cream Cheese are a no-no for people who have acid reflux disease or GERD. But I wanted cheese!

Impressca and the Story Behind the Healthy Food Choice

I had the opportunity to try out the salad and sandwich offerings at Impressca when I went shopping at the 3-day sale of SM Cubao.

I read about how it started and I was very inspired. I thought, why not publish here the very essay written by its owner on how it all started? So here it is.

“For the Love of Creation”

I came from humble beginnings but with enormous dreams. My parents were teachers, thus, I was nurtured to broaden my horizon leading to a personal intuition towards entrepreneurship. I learned in college that success is “One percent luck and ninety-nine percent sweat”.
