I love cheese, and am amazed at how our native Filipino dishes can be made even more special with its addition. Like the Kesong kesong Ambugong dish from the town of Altavas, Aklan (pictured above). Delectable biko (rice cake) is sandwiched between with coco jam and cheese in what looks like a very irresistible pairing. How about the Special Suman con Quezo of Tuao, Cagayan in the far North? Our local delicacy made of glutinous rice is made even more exciting with the surprise addition of cheese inside the rice cake. ... Continue Reading...

Read also my old post: Shanghai food without flying to Shanghai at Suzhou Dimsum On our first night in Taipei, we went to a culinary must-stop, the great dumpling house Din Tai Fung, particularly its first location in Taipei's Xinyi Road.

The Hong Kong branch, for one, earned a One Michelin Star this ... Continue Reading...
After chicken-all-you-can, free rice + Pepsi from Max’s

Weekend night dinner: Bistecca @ Rockwell
Because we hardly eat red meat at home, hubby and I unconsciously find ourselves on a mission to try the best steak places in Manila. The last one we had was at the Rotisserie of the Manila Pavilion Hotel - still one of the best, classic places to have a mind-numbingly good steak in this part of town. On this weekend, we find ourselves in Power Plant Mall to check out the shops and when time to munch came, I said: "Let's go to Bistecca." All right, we've bought too many diapers this month, and I told the hubs we can always retreat should Bistecca prove to be too ... Continue Reading...
