Speaking of back to school, another major concern of parents like me is the baon or food that the kids would bring with them. My dream is to turn my children's lunchboxes into an art (like the Japanese with their bento), but since am a busy working mom, I know that is next to impossible. Thankfully, there's California raisins to the rescue. Frankly, this is one of my favorite ingredients owing to its versatility. I like the fact that I can use raisins in a salad, main course, dessert, or even a sandwich! You can munch raisins by their lonesome as a healthy snack ... Continue Reading...
Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Shatin
The 10,000 Buddhas Monastery in Shatin is often overlooked by many tourists to Hong Kong. After all, how many of us will bother riding the East Rail Line all the way up the New Territories? But am telling you it's well worth the visit if you want something out of the ordinary from the hustle and bustle of HK. The entrance is impressive enough. There are approximately 500 golden life-size statues lining the pathway. One couldn't help but be amazed, if not amused, with their different poses and expressions. Prepare to exercise. I regretted not ... Continue Reading...

First timers in Puerto Galera
A few weeks ago I finally summoned the willpower to go to Puerto Galera. This was quite the big deal since I've been to Batanes, Banaue, Palawan, Camiguin, Guimaras and other remote places but not to this verdant tourist spot in Oriental Mindoro. So that Saturday, I hauled off the kids and off we traversed the southern highway till we reached the Port of Batangas. In the pier, I parked the car, purchased tickets for the five of us and off we rode the boat that would take us in an hour or so to Puerto Galera. I was quite nervous about this boat ride since we ... Continue Reading...
