Birthday feast...all home cooked. 19 June 2013

Oye! Oye! What better way to start my new entry but to showcase the different food I made for our Little One's second birthday. I prepared bean and corn salad with aguacate/avocado and lumpia for appetizer, pancit bihon, coca-cola, and Pork Panang as the main entree. For dessert, I baked my all time favorite cassava cake and a friend brought in a fres […]

Coming out from a very long hibernation. 19 June 2013

Hola my friends! It's been quite a long while since I posted in my little corner here. I have been in hibernation but that doesn't mean I stopped cooking. With our baby growing, working (for little while), and moving residence twice it became very impossible to add more leisure to my already fun-filled day unless I skip sleeping. Our little one […]

Stir Fried Eggplant with chicken 14 April 2011

I have neither abandoned my kitchen nor this blog, just in hibernation mode for the time being. The pregnancy is getting the best out of me now that my belly is heavier and moving around the kitchen with big belly is not as spacious as it used to be. (",) Also, cooking my own food does not enthrall me at this moment, especially solid food. Most of the […]

Coca-Cola on my chicken? Why not! 17 March 2011

It's Thursday, and it's Saint Patrick's Day but it is also one more day before market day. You can tell, I am running out of food in my kitchen. I just grab whatever there is left in the freezer and the pantry. I had full intentions of making Corn Beef and Cabbage for St. Patrick's Day but I didn't find any corn beef in the supermark […]

Yogurt Creamy Cheese Cake Cupcakes 15 March 2011

WARNING: THIS CUPCAKE IS NOT FOR DAILY CONSUMPTION UNLESS YOU WANT DIABETES. TOO SWEET FOR MY TOOTH EH!I never like yogurt unless it is serve differently, I mean hidden somewhere with something colorful, sweet, and appetizing.

Happy Potsticker to you all 14 March 2011

I promise not to make this potstickers again unless I have a ready to use wrapper. The meat filling is a whiz to make but boy I really did not enjoy making my own wrapper. I had to do everything manually, I even have a step by step picture on how I did it just to prove how tedious it was. But hubby liked it so much he said he will help me make the dough next […]

Brazilian Chicken in Coconut Milk 3 March 2011

Nope, I have not been to Brazil and I have not had this dish before. So how can I tell if the taste is close to the authentic Brazilian dish? I guess I will have to wait until I either find a Brazilian restaurant or when I finally visit Brazil. But kid you not, this recipe I found from allrecipes.com will definitely earn you compliments if you ever decide to […]

Culinary expedition: First stop is Germany 28 February 2011

Both hubby and I love traveling as much as we love food, this is why we work hard to save up for at least one international trip a year. We also both believe that the best way to experience different cultures is through food. Every time we travel to different countries we make sure to research the most popular food of our destination and then once we get the […]

Khao Luang Cave

by Jesse Jaca

This was taken from Khao Luang Cave in Petchburi, Thailand. We were just driving around and we saw the sign that says cave so we follow it. I would like to comeback to take a more serious shots as I wasn’t ready that first time.
