I seem to have gotten mixed reactions from my friends about this new product in the market called corned tuna. The purists say it defiles the sacredness of their favorite corned beef. However, it must be noted that local canned tuna manufacturers have long made variations of Filipino dishes - among them tuna afritada, sisig, Bicol Express, adobo, mechado, to name just a few. The fact that they continue to fill up our supermarket shelves attest to the fact that people flock to them like they would feast on a Jollibee hamburger. Especially people who swear by a strict ...

Pritchon at La Mesa Grill
I consider pritchon or piniritong lechon one of the savviest Pinoy food inventions ever. Sure it takes off from wrapped roasted Peking duck, but I bet the taste of roast suckling pig with its tender fat melting into the mouth is more heavenly. There was a time when pritchon was all the rage in Manila parties. Gourmet chefs invented all kinds of tasty sauces to go with the dish and eating pritchon can be one of the most interactive foodie experiences around. The craze has somewhat died down but am glad there are still select places you can go to when the pritchon ... Continue Reading...
Ascott Makati and its Cafe on the 6th
Ascott Makati (formerly Oakwood Premier) is an oasis in the urban jungle that is the Makati CBD (Central Business District). What makes it ideal is that it is just beside the Glorietta 4 mall. Since not all of us are expats and executives who can afford the expensive long stays at the Ascott, I was pleased to find out that their coffeeshop called Cafe on the 6th is perfect for cozy meetings and leisurely lunches with friends. The prices aren't bad either. It should be a good alternative for when you've had your fill of all the mall restos or tired of the often-crowded ... Continue Reading...
Yes, it is all right to go bananas and OD on this miracle fruit
How true is it that they're running out of bananas in Japan? That's because the figure-conscious Japanese are into this Morning Banana Diet which goes like this: eat a banana with water for breakfast, eat anything you like for lunch, take a snack but no desserts in between meals, have dinner by 8 p.m. and make sure to go to bed before midnight. It is so good that one actress has reportedly lost 26 pounds with it (via Huffington Post). I do attest that bananas are a good filler. Because am usually rushing to go the office, it just takes a visit to the nearest 7-11 ... Continue Reading...
Cafe World and a real tonkatsu recipe to try
It's easy to immerse oneself in Cafe World. Today, I reached Level 15 which means I can already whip up Tony's Classic Pizza to add to the usual menu repertoire. These include bacon cheeseburger (the most basic), Super Chunky Fruit Salad, French Onion Soup, Triple Berry Cheesecake, Spitfire Roasted Chicken, Home-style pot roast, tikka masala kabobs (or kebabs), jumbo shrimp cocktail, & spaghetti and meatballs. My online kitchen is ever-busy! Good thing there's the husband on vacation (gulp) to keep watch over what's simmering in my stoves. What I like about Cafe ... Continue Reading...
