Bali, Indonesia Food Haul
Funny thing. I got all instant mixes. Which I despise. But for the lack of time or access to a supermarket, I decided that this would be the next thing to buying my own spices (I STILL WANT MY OWN SPICES ). So in Alfamart, a convenience store, coming back from Uluwalu, we stopped by … Read more

40 Cloves Chicken
I tried this once in Kitchen’s Best and failed to get excited over this dish, even if my love of garlic has transcended most things (except having garlic pits). I decided that THEY must be doing something wrong. I mean, chicken and garlic, how wrong can you go? The dish was easy to prepare. The … Read more
Puno’s Ice Cream
Kuya Dino, my brother-in-law, just came from Nueva Ecija. And sealed tight in the trunk of his car was an old-fashioned cooler with a huge 3.8L of ice cream. It is a specialty from Nueva Ecija(a province three hours north of Manila), called Puno’s. The flavor was macapuno and cashew. Yum. I’m not sure if … Read more

Chicken Biryani
The last time I had this was when I ate out with Mom, my niece Maven, and her yaya (nanny) Cris. I love bengal food. And this was one of them (at least I think it is part of it). I was annoyed and suprised at the same time to discover that biryani has sooo … Read more
