Travelling to Davao City is such a pain for me. I figure I can already go to either Hong Kong or Taipei with the one hour and forty five minutes it would take me to get there. But there was something during my last trip that made me excited to go to Davao again. And the reason is this cozy little new restaurant called Kusina Selera. In a city filled with seafood and grilled (ihaw-ihaw) places, the new resto comes like a breath of fresh air. It was opened only last May and seeks to specialize in Filipino fusion dishes. It forms part of a compound which includes a ... Continue Reading...
Crabstick omelette bento
I've gotten a few bento stuff from the only full-fledged Saizen store in the Philippines in Robinson's Galleria, where everything is P85 pesos. This somehow inspired me to make a Crab stick Omelette bento a few weeks back, even though am a Lazy Susan on most days and too busy to make a bento. This omelette was easy to make, as it only entailed slicing carrots, peppers, onions and of course some crabstick, while mixing them in egg batter to form little round shapes. I added rice to the box, Chinese dumplings, a small apple and peanut butter puffs. My angel twins ... Continue Reading...
Litratong Pinoy 66: Tuyo (dry)
It has been a long time since I wrote for Litratong Pinoy (peace, Thess!) at para sa tema ngayong linggong ito, wala akong maisip na maisali sa temang tuyo (dry) kundi ang aking huling byahe sa Mount Pinatubo noong Mayo. Karaniwan, pag sinabi mong dry o "tuyo," walang appeal sa atin, pero na-enjoy ko talaga ang trip na ito dahil may halong adventure at communion with nature. Ito ang landscape bago namin narating ang bulkan na ultimong may emerald lake. ... Continue Reading...
Chocolate overload in Cebu
After our dessert overload in Bacolod, it's now time for my little chocolate interlude in Cebu. It's not really intentional. Just so happened that when every time I asked the waitstaff about the house bestseller, they always pointed to chocolate cakes on their glass display counter. Don't ask me which among Bacolod and Cebu won in the dessert category. The only thing I can say for certain is that overloading on their sweets can make you (willingly) fat :D I have to admit that since Cebu is a bigger city, the food scene there is more exciting. In fact, I wanna go ... Continue Reading...
Chika-an sa Cebu and Visayan cuisine
On our last day in Cebu City, our group ate lunch at Chika-an sa Cebu before heading to the airport and buying some pasalubong. You know the part about Filipino restaurants which overdo on rattan furniture just to look local? This one didn't :D It had nice, contemporary interiors, just like Cafe Laguna. Diners also have a choice between staying indoors (for airconditioning) or outdoors (for smoking or just smelling the breeze). The part that I liked best was the menu. Mostly, it was the thrill of seeing familiar dishes from my childhood. I really don't get ... Continue Reading...
