I love Sapin Sapin! It’s one of the top kakanins (native delicacies) that I will always crave and will never be tired of eating. I have tried the ones from the malls, from the “merienda” street vendors, from the palengke (wet market) and the so-called “special” ones. All of them are good in their own …
Ahh mango .. mango ice cream! When I was little, I always wanted to get my hands on those little Magnolia mango flavored ice cream in cups, either sold at the supermarket, or by the friendly neighborhood ice cream man. As a child, it was really satisfying to eat it in those little cups than …
Food shopping is one of the activities that relaxes me. Even with a list on hand, I still end up with “extras” because food ideas keep coming to me while looking for our staples. With what’s going on now, food shopping is nothing but relaxing. It’s probably been a month since I last saw the …
A few years ago, cooking Pancit was a “hit or miss” dish to me. That’s why it’s always on my list of the food to order during gatherings and whenever we have company. Since I learned how to properly cook it, I always have a couple of packages of the dry noodles in my pantry …

It seems like it’s been Winter for a long time now and to make matters worse, this year is even colder than usual. Getting up in the morning is harder because it still looks dark outside at 7am. Some days, I wish I can just curl up in bed longer than usual (in my PJs) …
I love Pork Sisig! This dish, with a very humble beginning as a street food in Pampanga has been elevated and has become one of the “must-try” dishes in the Filipino cuisine. They say it’s perfect as “pulutan”, which are small amounts of food eaten when drinking alcoholic beverages (like beer). But for us non-drinkers, …
This is my go-to recipe when my kids ask for Pandesal. I call them “Bread Bandits” because every time I make bread (which is once a week), they always lurk near the kitchen waiting for the freshly baked buns to come out of the oven. I have to place the baking pans on racks to …
Puto Bumbong is one of the signs that Christmas is near. Outside churches starting at early dawn, vendors line up waiting for churchgoers to finish hearing mass. It became a tradition for people to stop by and buy puto bumbong (and bibingka) before heading back home. Usually, it’s served with salabat (ginger tea) or coffee. …
