Salad :)
  • This is a Filipino food blog that has no bounds. I was born in the city, grew up in the city and still am living in the city. All my life, I would be what you call urbanite. But the call of domesticity comes to me in the form of food, as natural as you can make it with no shortcuts, with the freshest ingredients. Finding great food, from the home, or even in somewhere in the city, is always worth the effort. And though sometimes, when that great food is found in another country, the thing I want to do most is still bring it to my home, making it, somehow Filipino :)

Leche Flan (with Better Pictures)

Because I checked and the pictures from the last time were horribly ugly and supposedly since I”m an up and coming food blogger, learning is part of it. Look at my old post here and look at my pictures now This is short of actually giving myself a pat on the back. But hey

A spoonful of mango :)

Philippine Mangoes

I cannot believe that I am reaching my second year of blogging and I have not yet featured Mangoes on their own. When I was in Macau and has jumped off the high tower for the bungee jump, I remember sharing small talk with the person removing my harness. The exchange went like: Him: Where … Read more

A wedge of guyabano :)

Bukayong Guyabano (Sweetened Soursop)

I still remember how I reacted when my mom told me to try the bukayong guyabano. I repeatedly asked around 5 times, “Bukayong guyabano?” Guyabano, as I have mentioned, but not featured, is one of my favorites fruits or shakes. The sweet pulp is yummy to eat when picked and grown just right. When an … Read more

Restaurant Review: Tajiyama, Mall of Asia

Menu In a heavily populated mall, it is nice to find some quiet breather when we can actually hear each other with out too much noise. The restaurant wasn’t our first choice, but it was 1pm, we were hungry, and the restaurant of choice closes at 2, so headed to this place. They only serve … Read more

Easy Caesar Salad Dressing

I started my love affair with salad only recently. And up to now, I still continuously discover salads, thought not new, that I end up really liking. My sister brought home an order of Chicken Caesar Salad from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and I fell in love with the salad. I never knew consciously … Read more

Homemade Garlic Croutons

This is obviously not an end of a recipe. I like croutons but not enough that I’ll make them for eating At first, I thought that this was too simple to blog about on its own. But there’s more steps than just the usual that I make, which is to dice, toss and bake the … Read more

Happy Chinese New Year! :)

Being a very culturally friendly country, the Philippines observes a lot of holidays that aren’t originally its own, or at least those not inherent to the majority (and I think that’s why we are a favorite of all foreigners). One of these practices is to observe the Chinese New Year. Though everyone for sure knows … Read more

Restaurant Review: Joey Pepperoni, SM Calamba

A restaurant adapts in so many ways and this includes adding new items that sometimes makes a non-selling store sell. I have never been fond of Joey Pepperoni having eaten here before and finding their pasta abysmal. I’m not the best cook, but I know what I like, and their pasta taste cheap. We were … Read more

Corn and Corn

I always knew there was white corn and yellow corn available here in the country, or at least in Manila. It wasn’t until I started researching for this blog that I realize that maize, which I find repeatedly  mentioned whenever I watch TV as an African or South American corn, is the same white corn … Read more

Philippine Holiday Feasting

I just have to explain a bit of the Filipino practices, knowing that a lot of the people who follow my blog are not Filipinos. Filipinos both celebrate the eve before Christmas and New Year with a huge feast. It’s  a tradition that we eat ham and queso de bola, among other things, once the … Read more
