Everyday am loving my Samsung Smart Oven (and if you haven't joined my giveaway, please do so now). Yesterday, I tried to deconstruct a version of chicken inasal which is one of my favorite dishes from the City of Smiles. Unfortunately, I only go to Bacolod once in a blue moon. Thankfully, there's the Samsung oven to the rescue whenever I crave for this treat. No live charcoal involved but just as good. After marinating the chicken in garlic, native vinegar, lemongrass, achuete oil and other ingredients, I placed the bits in a heatproof dish, turned on the oven's ... Continue Reading...
Favorite photos from the #PopeFrancisPH visit
In a few hours, Pope Francis ends his historic visit of the Philippines that made headlines around the world and showed the power of the Catholic faithful.

Loved the room they gave me, which had a tub and all the amenities.But the two beds made me wish I was sharing ... Continue Reading...
Red Ginger 24-hour resto at City of Dreams Manila
Last night found me at City of Dreams again. Bless this place for being a short drive near me :) It was time to see more of the spots that I wasn't able to check out the last time. It was dinner time and we were hungry. The Café at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila had magnificent decor. It was eye-catching all throughout, but the lighting was too dark for what you would expect of a vibrant hotel buffet. As a result, we really couldn't appreciate all the sumptuous food laid out. If this was a mobile phone, it's on energy saving mode, LOL It was even darker in ... Continue Reading...
