Friends and kin have been asking if my little family is fine in the aftermath of typhoon Glenda. We have been surviving with no power for three days now :) The brownout started early morning of Wednesday (along with a cut-off in water supply) and I can only believe Meralco when they say it will restored by 10 tonight. I hope so... please give us a reason to rejoice this weekend! The water has come back but 60 hours (and counting) of no electricity is just so cruel. Am still trying to figure out which was worse: Typhoon Milenyo or Glenda. I dug through my archives ... Continue Reading...

We've partnered with our friends from Samsung Philippines to launch a recipe challenge which will give one reader of this blog a chance to win a Samsung Smart Oven worth at least P14,000.

Oishi Make Your Own Snack 2014
Oishi's Make Your Own Snack event at the Glorietta 2 Activity Center was the highlight of our July 6 weekend. A few days before, I received the official invite which was in the form of a personalized giant sack filled with Oishi goodies. Who can resist? It was taller than my 4-year old daughter :) On that Sunday itself, my kids were more excited than me. It was because they knew that their crushes, Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo were going to be there.I can't tell you enough how popular this celebrity tandem is, and it's good that they're Oishi endorsers. ...

UP Town Center resto: Pinác Capampangan Cuisine
Kapampangan cuisine (or the cooking of the province of Pampanga) is one of the first I loved. There was this old resto in Malate called Mequeni which served great food but it has closed ages ago. So when an invite came from Ms. Angel Pelayo of Grandmomma's Kitchen to try eating at her pet resto Pinác with other food bloggers, I said yes. Somehow, she got me at the phrase "Heirloom Capampangan Cuisine." Coming from a political family in Candaba, Pampanga (a popular place to watch the migration of birds), Angel is showcasing in Pinác precious family recipes handed down ... Continue Reading...
Raffaele Woodfired Pizza at The Bayleaf Hotel Intramuros
Like any resident of this Big Bad City, I have a love-hate relationship with Manila. My hatred for its chaos and viciousness at times outweighing my love for it. But beautiful places within the city make me keep the faith and believe that yes... perhaps, there's hope for this seemingly hopeless place :) My love affair with Manila was rekindled as we discovered this new restaurant called Raffaele Woodfired Pizza on the 3rd floor of the The Bayleaf hotel. First thing to love about this place: the ambiance. Plush chairs in bright colors complementing the view of the ... Continue Reading...
