There's been so much fuss about the SPAM® Tocino that I've become one of those rabidly curious about it. Perhaps, Hormel (the manufacturer) has finally recognized the Philippines' clout as a Spam-eating nation that it has decided to make a Spam flavor in our honor...it could have been adobo! haha. Acting on a tip from fellow blogger Mommy Peach, I went to SM Hypermarket (Sucat) last night to check out the availability of Spam Tocino and found it glistening in tin can glory in the shelves. O hai...it's not a hoax after all! I immediately bought three cans at Php105 ... Continue Reading...
Black ink risotto & bacalao recipes for Lent
It is Good Friday now for Catholics in the Philippines and the time is usually associated with fasting or abstaining from meat. Fish, seafood, vegetables and the occasional hunger are the order of the day. Anyway, am sharing here a rather belated post about the Spanish cooking class I attended at The Maya Kitchen mid-March. On the podium was Spanish chef Chele Santiago who lords it over one of Manila's celebrated culinary kitchens, Gallery VASK in Bonifacio Global City. It is rather expensive to dine at Vask, but those who attended this class took the shortcut. We ... Continue Reading...

Cheap clothes at Mango outlet store in San Pablo, Laguna
It's nice to go out of town especially when you stumble upon little gems and unexpected things. It's a luxury I don't get to indulge in these days, which means...we should do this more often! :) In my previous post, I told you about our visit to this mall in San Pablo City, Laguna called Ultimart. It's more low-key than SM San Pablo but this place is perfect for when you want to spend a laid-back evening or afternoon, away from the crowds. Upon arriving in Ultimart, my attention was first caught by the Mango outlet store in this strip.The sight of this store ... Continue Reading...
The great Aristocrat food trip….. to San Pablo, Laguna!
The Aristocrat Restaurant on Roxas Boulevard is a great city landmark, much like the Quiapo Church or Rizal Park. But the amazement goes a notch higher when am faced with its year of birth : it was put up in 1936 which means it was there before the Second World War. If you're looking for the oldest full-service restaurant chain in Manila, look no further. This is it! Being in the business for so long and still drawing crowds day after day can only mean one thing: this restaurant serves consistently good food. For instance, I don't mind eating that ...
