I have to admit I was saddened when the news about President Noy and Shalani's romantic split broke out. What could have happened? I was really rooting for Shalani Soledad as a very fitting First Lady, even though that's like asking for the moon ( you know how bachelor types are!) The girl simply has HUGE mass appeal. And she did campaign hard for the President. In fact, it was during one of her interviews during the campaign that gave us an insight into how good a man he is and convinced me that he's the right candidate to lead the nation. Sigh, sigh, sigh. If the ... Continue Reading...
Pastry recipes a la California milk & meeting a CIA chef
Studying at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) is a major dream for people interested in food and a chef's career. That's why it was hard to pass up a recent invite featuring Chef Robert Jorin, team leader of CIA's Baking & Pastry Arts Certificate Program. I figured that even if I am not able to go to CIA itself, at least I can hear one of their baking instructors speak, and have first-hand knowledge of CIA-tested recipes. Chef Jorin flew into town as a guest of the California Milk Advisory Board whose products are gaining headway in the Philippines ... Continue Reading...

Zapata’s: great Mexican resto in Angeles City, Pampanga
It has been four years since I last visited Zapata's, the great Mexican resto just outside the perimeter gate of the Clark Special Economic Zone in Angeles City, Pampanga. Going to Clark usually means "food trip!" and during this weekend holiday, I showed the family usual haunts like the VFW Post 2845 and Holiday Inn (their Mequeni Cafe had a great breakfast buffet, btw). I especially warned the hubby to save some room for Zapata's, especially as he loves his Mexican food. The interiors are very colorful and remains one of my favorites. There is always something ...

Everyday Kainan Thursday : contest alert!
Two drinks that make a difference in my life - coffee and Coca-Cola. The first is my morning comfort. The second is my all-around elixir for going through the day. The history of modern food wouldn’t be complete without a bottle or glass of Coke gracing our tables. You see, Coke is to food in the same way that honey is associated to bees and cows are to pasture. Truth is, I wouldn’t listen to you if you ever tell me that drinking Coke worsens our ‘bilbil’ (beer belly). Most likely, I will just tell you to stop eating rice! I had a difficult pregnancy the last time but ... Continue Reading...
