I've long been craving for Balamban liempo ever since it's been written about by some food bloggers, notably marketmanila. Pork belly or LIEMPO is one of my sinful joys and biting into the border where melt-in-your-mouth fat meets tender lean meat gives me one gustatory high! Alas, there's no sign that am going to Cebu anytime soon. Balamban is the place in the Queen City of the South where they sell the becomingly popular tasty liempo which is stuffed with herbs and other condiments in between, then roasted to juicy perfection. Imagine, my relief when we went to ... Continue Reading...

Memorable first quiche: from a YUMMY recipe
Quiche (pronounced keesh) –noun a pielike dish consisting of an unsweetened pastry shell filled with a custard and usually containing cheese and other ingredients, as vegetables, seafood, or ham: spinach quiche. via dictionary.com Making a quiche is high on my list of must-do kitchen projects.

Bobs Magallanes: bbq + burgers + desserts & more
Baby Lucy just had her first visit to her pedia, and it's a happy coincidence that her doctor's clinic is just beside the fairly new Bob's Restaurant in Paseo de Magallanes. The resto is a sentimental favorite for my friends from Bacolod, and having been to Cafe Bob's in the City of Smiles, I don't have to wonder why. Bob's serves down-home comfort food, mostly American favorites like barbecue, baby back ribs and burgers. The only thing about Bob's lone branch (so far) in Manila is the location. This pitstop in Paseo de Magallanes is quite secluded. Let's hope ... Continue Reading...
Shalani Soledad interview with Kris Aquino on The Buzz: let’s wait and see what happens next
I missed seeing The Buzz last Sunday where Kris Aquino interviewed President-to-be Noynoy Aquino's girlfriend of almost two years, Shalani Soledad. Thank God for Youtube we were able to see it. The full transcript of the interview is also on the ABS-CBN website and Barrio Siete. Their love story has been likened to that of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline (Jackie) Bouvier. Like Noynoy and Shalani, he was also a senator and she was a reporter when they first met. We're closely watching developments on their story. After all, by becoming President of the Philippines, he ... Continue Reading...
Wyeth & Alagang Healthway Card tie-up
Just as soon as we arrived home from the hospital, my Alagang Healthway card was waiting for me in the mail. Healthway is a one-stop clinic and it's so convenient because they're located in the major malls. I like what the Healthway card offers: unlimited family medicine consultations; one free pediatric consultation; 15% discount on laboratory, diagnostic, dental and imaging services; 10% discount on vaccines. Helpful for a new mom like me! It's now easy for everyone to get this health card for free with the clinic's tie-up with Wyeth Pre-School Gold. Simply ... Continue Reading...
