My grandmother or “mama”, was a superb cook. Cooking was actually her way of bonding our family. When she is not busy overseeing her dance troupe business, you would normally find her in the kitchen, whipping up delicious dishes whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Whenever we would come home from school, we were always […]

Dreyfus Cuisine: Cheesy Corn Kernels using Jolly Whole Corn Kernels
Since school is back for my youngest, I wanted to come up with a no-frills snack that she can enjoy whenever she comes home. Something that’s easy and fast to prepare, but healthy and filling as well. While I was at the mall a few weeks ago, I saw a classic snack that I used […]

Our foodie group, The KTG, has been very lucky to have good friends from F1 Hotel in Manila who has been our Christmas host for the past 4 years (or has it been 5 years, already?) and other fun and exciting staycations of the group. F1 Hotel Manila’s strategic location right in the heart of […]
Go Cashless with GCash and Bench!
When going to the mall, I try to avoid bringing cash for safety reasons. That’s why whenever I’m out, I have very minimal cash on hand. Apart from my credit and debit cards, I take advantage of my GCash. Not familiar with GCash? Here’s the low down and why you should have one yourselves… GCash […]

That’s how long Pinoys celebrate the Christmas season here in the Philippines. Imagine having to eat all the delicious food your heart desires from one […]

New Year is almost upon us and here I am thinking (again) of what to cook for NYE. You see, my family has a variety of food suggestions and it’s sometimes becomes quite a challenge on my part on how to incorporate everything. My rule of thumb during food preparations is that the dishes on […]
Make Casillero del Diablo wines part of your New Year celebration
They say, the Philippines has the longest Christmas season celebration which starts when the “BER” months come rolling in and ends during Three Kings. That’s roughly 4 and a half months! And in those months, get togethers are non-stop! Everyone goes crazy thinking about food preparations and gift ideas. If you happen to be thinking […]

Love local… love LOCALLY!
“When you live in the Philippines, you will never run out of things to do, see and eat.” This was from a foreign blogger that I met in Malaysia during one of my trips and I totally agree with what she said. With 7,000+ islands in the Philippines, how can one ever run out of […]
