It's nice to be reacquainted with lutong bahay or home cooking when you've eaten too many restaurant meals.:-D On spotlight this week: a delicious menudo dish that you can cook for 10 minutes or less. It was created by Unilever Food Solutions corporate sous chef John Paul Sia for the SM Master Chefs Cooking Marathon 2011. I couldn't help munching on this menudo which is prepared "tapas" style - ergo, can be eaten even without rice. Emphasis is on long marination (overnight), using less sauce and choosing a meat cut (pork tenderloin) that can be sauteed for only ... Continue Reading...
Kobe Bryant in Manila!
Yay! Kobe Bryant is coming to Manila in two days, 23 hours and 7 minutes as I write this. Commotion in motion, I must say. We all know how basketball-crazy the Philippines is, and am sure a lot of our young people will relish the opportunity to see him or even hear words of inspiration from him. Nike Philippines is making the Kobe Bryant tour possible. In the main event at the Araneta Coliseum on July 13,Kobe will meet players from Nike-sponsored FEU Tamaraws, DLSU Green Archers, ADMU Blue Eagles and Smart Gilas Pilipinas. ... Continue Reading...
Le Bistro d’Agathe: a French restaurant in Makati
We've been eating out a lot lately. Blame it on the fact that I have a long list of restaurants I'd like to try out before 2011 closes.

We had a great time touring the ... Continue Reading...

We all know this is the era of the speedy, supersonic browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla, Safari, Opera..you name it.Internet Explorer is also in this Hall of Fame but it has taken a fall in recent years despite the fact that for most of us, it was the first-ever browser we were introduced to in our colorful web-surfing life.

Must-taste of the week: Ferrero chocolate gelato @ Sol Gelato in Venice Piazza
In the cosmopolitan food hub that is Manila, colorfully-designed frozen yogurt cafes go head to head with ice cream parlors and gelaterias for supremacy in the field of chilly treats. I believe that froyo has had its heyday, it's time to say a big HELLO to good ol' ice cream (think Sebastian's) or sharpen up your tongue for a divine taste of Italy - gelato oh gelato! My must-try of the week are the frozen desserts at Sol Gelato. We went to this quaint spot at the Venice Piazza in McKinley Hill after gorging on dishes from the Food Adventure tour. Being a ...
