I honestly don’t remember where I first encountered Pria’s Kitchen, but I do remember that I followed her on Instagram. I then asked Pria to email me her menu – I kept it in preparation for our New Year’s Eve dinner last year. It was only last Saturday night when we celebrated early Father’s Day…

Cooking Quest: Slow Cooked 40 Clove Garlic Chicken
My mom has this orange ceramic-ish crackpot. I will never forget it because that’s what she uses to soften a tough dry abalone. I remember one time she was so angry because she found a crack! She told me that she has used that particular crackpot for years and was sad to buy a new…
Slammin Mini Burgers: I got Slammed!!!

A cousin of mine asked me ‘What makes chicken, Iberian?’ Oo nga, what makes chicken – Iberian? I honestly had no idea! It was YEARS ago, that I got introduced to this Iberian Chicken dish. I remember it as if it was yesterday, we had dinner in Casa Armas along Jupiter – I honestly forgot…
Project: TURDUCKEN
Thanksgiving Turkey! Just this morning – I made a Plurk/Tweet that I wanted to have a Turkey dinner. I’ve been secretly wanting to make one – but was always overwhelmed with the preparations and the size! I can only dream of making one. I was honestly thinking of buying a cooked bird, and inviting friends…
