We were in Tagaytay over the weekend and I was giddy with excitement because the family hasn't been here in ages!!! The bad news was that the weather was hot instead of chilly; in fact, no different from Manila. The good news is that we were able to discover new, cool haunts and one of these is Cafe Amacena in One Tagaytay Place Hotel Suites (formerly Azalea Restaurant). I wouldn't have known about this place if I didn't see the sign board along Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa Road. It's just a small, rectangular resto seating about 30 to 40. Ambiance is business-like but ...

Another lechon or roasted pork belly recipe to try
Looking at the two recipes I have shared so far in this blog, I realized there are different ways of preparing the popular lechon belly or roasted pork belly we see being sold in stores.I guess cooks or chefs just have different methods or techniques of doing it. They vary in terms of the stuffing used and some even resort to a brining solution to tenderize the meat. Anyway, I announced here the cooking class conducted recently by chef Michael Giovan Sarthou III at the Maya Kitchen.

Soothe & Protect : the new baby range by Oilatum
Oilatum is a brand that has established itself as a premier name in skin care, specifically for the young ones. Oilatum soap was one of their first products I used.

More so when any of our children suffer from persistent skin conditions like dryness and eczema. Just imagine how uncomfortable these can be. Dermatologists recommend Oilatum to moisturize the skin and keep away ... Continue Reading...

I don't know if it's part of our colonial mentality, specifically our adoration for mestizas and the flawless Koreans, but most Filipinas would simply do anything to have fair, white skin!

#IAmSMWoman : strong, driven, confident & exceptional!
There was a shopping event at The SM Store for their fashion label SM Woman and it was something I couldn't say no to. How can I if I am an avid customer of their brand? Practical shoppers know that you go to SM for classic yet fashionable high-quality pieces that are within the budget. Even with the abundance of foreign, high street labels in the market, I still go to SM for a no-frills, no-fuss experience. Having arrived late from the traffic that night, I missed the fashion show and so headed straight to the shopping event. There was a treat for invited ... Continue Reading...
