We were in Tagaytay over the weekend and I was giddy with excitement because the family hasn't been here in ages!!! The bad news was that the weather was hot instead of chilly; in fact, no different from Manila. The good news is that we were able to discover new, cool haunts and one of these is Cafe Amacena in One Tagaytay Place Hotel Suites (formerly Azalea Restaurant). I wouldn't have known about this place if I didn't see the sign board along Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa Road. It's just a small, rectangular resto seating about 30 to 40. Ambiance is business-like but ...

California Raisins and a cookie recipe from Chef Miko Aspiras
Speaking of back to school, another major concern of parents like me is the baon or food that the kids would bring with them. My dream is to turn my children's lunchboxes into an art (like the Japanese with their bento), but since am a busy working mom, I know that is next to impossible. Thankfully, there's California raisins to the rescue. Frankly, this is one of my favorite ingredients owing to its versatility. I like the fact that I can use raisins in a salad, main course, dessert, or even a sandwich! You can munch raisins by their lonesome as a healthy snack ... Continue Reading...

The weekend is here and it's time to treat ourselves. Allow me to give you a heads-up on the Weekend Fiesta at Cucina, Marco Polo Manila's all-day dining restaurant on the 24th floor which we tried recently.
