It is always a joy to discover something new. In this case, we have been driving a lot through BF Homes in Paranaque which is establishing a name as a culinary territory. I've never seen this many diverse cuisines concentrated in one area - Thai, Indonesian, Irish, Cuban, Persian, Singaporean and even Punjabi. One thing am really charmed with are the "home kitchens" - what I call those cozy bungalows which have been converted into restaurant spaces, mostly in the long strip of Aguirre. They're worth mentioning because it is quite a big leap for a home cook or baker ... Continue Reading...
Chic Moms Club & my roast chicken diet
I've received an email invitation to join the Bounty Fresh Chic Moms Club. Apparently, they have an ongoing promo till March where you get a chance to win new Louis Vuitton or Gucci bags if you register on their website and refer the most number of new members. I've registered in order to get new recipes delivered to my inbox and am excited to be updated on the events they have in store for their members. I've given up on winning the LV or Gucci for now since am not on the internet 24/7. But if you think you've got what it takes to have the highest number of ... Continue Reading...
Spotted: Bacon Bar by Machiavelli chocolates
Yes I know, it's Valentine's soon and at least three of these things will be in demand: flowers, chocolates and expensive wine dinners.

It seems that after combining all sorts of exotic things with chocolates, bacon is now the "it" ingredient. I can't complain... there is just something about the crispiness and saltiness of bacon that is irresistible when combined with our favorite sweet treat. The bacon bar was kinda pricey ...

Coming home to Lola Maria Restaurant @ The Legend Villas
It has been years since I've eaten at the homey Lola Maria restaurant of The Legend Villas. It seems nothing much has changed in terms of the lunch crowd it draws. Its secret, all these years, is its good Filipino cooking and the reasonably-priced buffet which, at 450 pesos, is not bad for a hotel setting. Proximity has always been my problem in going to this place more often since we live in southern Metro Manila. But for this visit, I was glad to escape the horrendous EDSA traffic, ride the MRT train and alight at the Boni station. Solved the problem :D I ... Continue Reading...
Heavenly Chocolates… is it?
Hubby and I found ourselves in Quezon City today to have the car repaired somewhere in Roosevelt and somehow ended up in this nondescript place on Roces Avenue. Ending up in a cozy cafe like Heavenly Chocolates reminded me that Valentine's Day is coming before we know it. Wouldn't you like to receive the 'I Miss You' or ILY chocolate? How about the Kama Sutra chocolates? I did a bad job of photographing this, but go figure :D Give to impress with their huge OMG Chocolate Bar, P650 for 500 grams. The chocolates are locally made but use imported ... Continue Reading...
