Semerad Twins and Down to Mars: Chef’s Noodle Newest Endorsers
Some few years ago, I’ve began to love Korean foods most
especially their Japchae noodles, Bulgogi, Kimchi, Tteok-bok-i (Rice cakes in
hot sauce), Samgyeopsal (Korean pork belly lettuce wrap) and the very famous
Bibimbap and Jjampong. It’s a good thing that I’m a huge fan of spicy foods.
And almost every day I get to eat Korean dishes thanks to the family that I used
to tutor in Ortigas, they’ve introduced their native foods to me and to my
co-tutor right from their home. :))

beef and egg
I’m pretty sure you’re very much aware of the K-Pop (Korean
Popular music or Korean pop) fad, the Korean style of dressing, Korean
hairstyle with dyes, the Koreanovelas on television (they've ousted another
foreign telenovela- the Spanish telenovelas), and now presently conquering the
global music scene still from Korea, the “Gangnam Style” by Korean pop artist
PSY.
In line with the Korean mania, something much bigger has
come to the Philippines; the Simisim Group of Companies proudly presents a
popular fast-casual Korean restaurant, the very first branch outside Korea, the
Chef’s Noodle. Having acquired the master franchise of Chef’s Noodle, the
company already has big plans for the hip, new dining outlet, already partnering
with popular Korean expats, like model/TV personality/DJ Grace Lee and Korean
celebrity Chef Choi In Sun to be its local endorsers.

It’s also interesting to note that Chef Choi In
Sun had a hand in developing some of Chef’s Noodle’s mouth-watering
specialties, something that should make your visit to the restaurant even more
exciting. Having a great range of Korean specialties that ranges from the
traditional menu items that are unique to the restaurant, Chef’s Noodle
definitely has something delicious for everyone.
So, do you think you've had enough of good news? Nah ah, Chef’s
Noodle has just recently added two latest brand ambassadors and they are the hard
court heartthrob, Fil- Aussie, Semerad Twins who were born and raised in Brisbane,
Australia and the fast-rising and very first inter-pop group, “Down to Mars.”
I was one of the privileged peeps to have been invited to
the exclusive photo shoot of the Semerad twins and Down to Mars for Chef’s
Noodle held at the Elite Studio, 3rd floor. in A.Venue Mall, Makati Ave., Makati City. The mood during that time was so light,
bubbly, jolly, vibrant and very musical, thanks to “Down to Mars” for specially
providing that part, which was in contrast to the bad and rainy weather
outside. :))

It was an awesome experience having the “Twin Towers” of
basketball court, David and Anthony Semerad for an interview with my fellow
bloggers. We've learned that they were paternal twins being David as the older
brother by five minutes, but they really look very much the same huh! And to be
able to differentiate one from the other, I've a tip for you... Anthony’s face
is a little bit longer than David’s and that the latter is more like me, funny,
humorous and jolly whereas the former is sort of a serious type, but according
to David, Anthony has a “playboy” image hihihi. When asked about what they
could contribute to the promotion of Chef’s Noodle as one of the latest and
official endorsers, David answered, “I guess we could promote it because my
brother and I have been to Korea a number of times and we really started like
learn to love the food ‘coz we go there, try new foods, it was really a great
experience and it’s really healthy food, all the vegetables ... and for us,
athletes, we really love eating healthy foods.”
See this: Anthony and David somewhat resemble our handsome actors
Luis Manzano and Gerald Anderson, agree? :)
The 6’5” (OMG!) twins with a shoe size of 15 (Wow!) even
shared that their personal faves from Chef’s Noodle menu are the Bulgogi and
Chef’s Noodle with all the meat and veggies, they love it! For those gurls out
there who wanna know if any of them are still available? Well, they both
admitted that they’re “single to mingle!” Isn't that great? :))
One of Semerad twins faves, the Chef's Noodle- their very own noodles topped with tamago, leeks, bean sprouts, fried tofu, spring onion, red bell pepper,egg roll, bulgogi and their secret beef broth
Bulgogi Leek Butchu Jun - Chef's Noodle's version of pancake packed with Bulgogi, fresh Kutchai and bell pepper packed in their special pancake (jun) mix.
What are the qualities that they seek for a girl? They go
for the nice personality, she must also be outgoing, someone who can look after
herself, she’s gotta be sporty, it should be a sport that they're both interested
in. David also wants a girl who could eat a cheese steak! Hmmm... any
candidates? :))
Additional trivia: Anthony’s fave color is orange while David goes for blue.

The handsome Semerads are presently taking the same course
(Business Marketing and Communication) in San Beda and they plan to play at the
NCAA next year. Being an older brother, David’s advise to Anthony: “I always
tell him to listen to me (laughing). I feel that I have the responsibility; I
have to take care of him so, even if I’m only five minutes older, I’m still
there for you” that’s what David has to say while tapping Anthony’s
shoulder. Awww, these twins are so sweeeeet!
What do they have to say to all of their fans and followers?
“We just want to thank them for their support and having been there for us in
everything we do, keep following us. We feel honored, we feel blessed that we
have that, it’s a push,” the Semerad twins.
Happily torn between the adorable "Twin Towers" hihihi

And now, it’s our turn to interview and have a little chat
with the Down to Mars group members. Officially, they’re being co-managed by
Ms. Geleen Eugenio and been posing as one of the regular mainstays in GMA’s "Party Pilipinas" every Sunday. My first question was, “How come ‘Down to Mars,’
how did you arrive by that name?” Jang Seung Ri, the group’s spokesperson
answered, “Ibinase po nila ‘yung Down to Mars sa down to earth kasi naniniwala
po kami na ang sikreto po sa showbiz para maging successful ka is kailangan
mong maging grounded, maging humble, kahit mabulag ka pa ng spotlight o ng
fame, kailangan mong maging humble kasi ‘yung mga nasa ibaba ‘yun ‘yung
itinataas. And at the same time, sa Greek mythology, men came from Mars and ang
babae naman po came from Venus.”
Very well said, Jang.
Very well said, Jang.
The very cool and grounded, "Down to Mars"
Down to Mars has signed a contract with Polyeast records and
a 3- year exclusive contract with GMA Artist Center and are currently seen in
another GMA tv program, ‘The Coffee Prince” during weekdays. The group even
shared that their music was being influenced by Asian and Western music like
the Backstreet Boys. They even compose their songs in their self-titled album,
“Down to Mars;” each of them has contributed to the success of their first
album launch that was held last May this year. The group consists of Kenji Chua,
the lead singer, Yheen Valero, Kiro Rivera, Jang Seung Ri, Daisuke Hagihara,
Jefferson Song, and new member Sky Young.
How does it feel being one of the latest endorsers of Chef’s
Noodle? “Natutuwa po kami talaga kasi basically sobrang mahilig po kaming kumain ng mga noodles, mga ramen at any kind of noodles at saka swak na swak
din po kami sa Chef’s Noodle,” Jang replied. How does it feel being the first inter-pop
music group? “Masaya po kasi gaya nga po ng definition ng inter-pop, pinaghalu-
halo nga pong music ng Chinese, Japanese and Korean at the same time ang common
ground namin kami, mga Pinoy kami so, ‘yung ma-recognize po kami na inter-pop,
masaya po kami talaga.”
