My Rating: [rating=4] I am a certified pastaholic and I always enjoy cooking various pasta dishes in the kitchen. This creamy garlic mushroom pasta recipe features a great base sauce. Just add sausage slices, ham slices, chicken strips, pancetta, or ground beef for an instant hearty meal.♥ I tried cooking with only the available ingredients. […]
My Rating: [rating=4] Me and my husband are both cheapskates and we found a pretty decent fast food restaurant that serves Singaporean dishes, Hainanese Delights. It has been our favorite go-to fast food chain when we want to indulge but we’re on a tight budget. On our first visit, we ordered Chicken Heaven (PhP 130) […]
My Rating: [rating=3] Late last year we went Seoul-searching and dined at Seoul Garden Korean restaurant. I challenged myself to try their bibimbap instead of always keeping it safe with spicy noodles. If I’m not mistaken, it is the third Korean restaurant I’ve been to because I’m not much of a fan of Korean cuisine. In fact […]
Dimsum Break opened its doors here in Manila late last year. My husband and I both checked out their branch at SM North Annex and tried out their bestsellers. The fast food restaurant from Cebu serves delicious and budget-friendly meals, satisfying foodies from all walks of life. We arrived there with a long waiting line […]
Binge eating over the holidays is a widely accepted practice. And since my in-laws from Laguna province were also here in Manila during the time, we had a mini celebration at eat-all-you-can restaurant in Trinoma, Yakimix. The holiday buffet rate was PhP 660 per person, without the drinks all you can option. We were given […]
Hubby and I recently tried a new recipe. I’m a follower of Erwan Heussaff‘s food blog and I remembered his blog post about his Beef Salpicao recipe so we checked it out. Cooking instructions are pretty easy so we gave it a shot. It was our first home-cooked Beef Salpicao ever and we had happy […]
We visited the Chuck’s Grub Fish & Chips chippy shop at the Sky Garden in SM City North EDSA a few months ago. Ray had been looking forward to try their fish fillets and so we did when we had our regular family weekend bonding. My husband is a seafood lover; He devours almost anything […]
My husband loves Yellow Cab’s Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta so I searched for a similar recipe online. This version is from Food.com. We crave every now and then for spicy Asian-style pasta so we’ve included it in our weekly/monthly meal routine. This is so easy to make and will only take about 15-30 minutes […]
My Rating: [rating=4] After Zaiel had his pedia checkup and 2d echo a few months ago, we headed to Trinoma and dined at Pepper Lunch Express. I was craving for beef pepper rice so I ordered sizzling plate meals for us both. Pepper Lunch (or Peppaa-ranchi in Japanese) originated in Japan in […]
My mother suggested that we replace our everyday white rice with natural brown rice late last year because compared to white rice, a cup of brown rice has more fiber, gives plenty of energy, and burns more fat. My husband has lost 10 pounds in a matter of 2 months (combined with proper exercise and […]
My late-night cravings are kicking in lately. What’s funny is that I crave for heavy meals instead of snacks. Well at least I have a valid reason to binge. Oh, the perks of being pregnant! 🙂 We have stocked up on pasta noodles for my husband’s baon for work and I am just too addicted […]
Rating: [rating=3] These photos were taken from one of our food trips in the past at Oliver’s Sandwiches Glorietta 3 branch. Oliver’s Super Sandwiches menu mainly offers gourmet sandwiches but they also have salads, baked potatoes, and pasta dishes. We weren’t in the mood for sandwiches back then so here’s what we […]
Honestly, I only know how to cook two dishes using squid: Adobong Pusit and Grilled Squid. Being a kitchen newbie, I’m trying to master simple recipes and basic flavors first before going to the intermediate level. This Stir-Fried Squid with Bell Peppers is a Mama Sita’s recipe. From now on, Oyster Sauce will […]
I baked my first set of muffins a few months ago. I bought a pack of Betty Crocker Blueberry Muffin Mix from the grocery store and followed the instructions written at the back. I only had to add water and I was so happy that they came out fine, not undercooked nor burnt. […]
My family raved about this seafood dish for dinner last week. It’s (again!) from the Mama Sita’s Lutong Bahay recipe book and I’m so happy that they’ve loved everything I tried from the book so far. The secret ingredient is the Caldereta Mix from Mama Sita’s. It’s fine to cheat once in a […]
This Ginisang Pechay at Tokwa recipe is originally from Mama Sita’s Lutong Bahay recipe book. The book contains a handful of easy-to-cook recipes for home chefs and mommies like me. I first cooked this healthy veggie dish last week together with my husband and we were so surprised that it turned out great. […]
The Dowell’s Chill and Grill event yesterday was an afternoon of fun and good food. The ever quirky and cool Chef Sharwin Tee shared with us his unconventional recipes and culinary techniques using the new Dowell Grill Express. It’s an addition to Dowell’s quality indoor grill products and it makes indoor grilling much […]
Icebergs Restaurant is the first place me and my mom will definitely rush to whenever we crave for halo-halo and chilled desserts. Its casual dining setup makes it easier for us to just relax and enjoy our “merienda”. The restaurant was first known to be a dessert place and an ice cream parlor, with halo-halo […]
My Rating: [rating=5] Pizza Hut‘s always been one of my all-time favorite Italian restaurants. I grew up ordering Super Supreme Thick Crust Pizza for a movie night at home and heading to Pizza Hut’s SM North EDSA branch for a hearty dinner with my family. Although now there are a lot […]
My Rating: [rating=5] Last Sunday I baked some egg and bacon muffins for my family. It’s a Martha Stewart recipe called Father’s Day Breakfast. I baked a second set that night for my bffs and I was happy with the positive feedback. This easy-to-make breakfast combo is great for breakfast and brunch. Ingredients (6 servings): […]
I turned 26 yesterday and hubby bought me a Classic Chocolate Cake with macarons on top from Tous Les Jours. Launched in 1996, Tous Les Jours is a Korean bakery cafe which opened its doors here in the Philippines late last year. “Tous Les Jours” is a French word […]
