Ever since I tried this sauce in Gaucho, the Argentine restaurant in Robinson’s Magnolia, it left a lovely impression on my palate. I forgot about it for a while and then was reminded of it again when I tried Senor Pollo early this year. Whenever we had simple get togethers at home, I would drive…

ALQUERIA at the Mega Fashion Hall
I have to be honest. This restaurant is one of those that I usually pass on. Maybe because the company I am with are not typically ones who enjoy the Spanish cuisine that Alqueria offers. I personally love paella, but I can’t finish one whole order – well, I can but it’s quite embarrassing to…
Ensaymada loooove from Portobello Bakery
Whenever I’m asked what my favorite ensaymada is. There is only one answer – it’s Chona’s Homemade Treasures Ensaimadas. I swear, its the best that I’ve tried. It has been my benchmark for all ensaymadas, I have this certain hesitation when trying ensaymadas to be honest – because I don’t want to be disappointed. I…
Carnivore Lechon from Leonardo’s

Once the manong hacked the lechon open, the aroma of the sausages, herbs and lechon filled the room. It was…

I used to hate chocolates. The was a time in the not so distant past that I disliked anything chocolate. I refused to eat desserts with chocolate drizzles, ice cream and anything with chocolate on it. I was a choco racist. I did not understand friends who adored chocolates. But it all changed when I…
EATs Hong Kong: Jade Garden’s Char Siu
Hong Kong will forever be a favorite food destination for me. It will forever be #1 in my list for quick getaways. I like it because I am familiar with it. I can be adventurous and try new restaurants or I can trust the ones that I’ve been to and liked all these years. I…
Cooking Quest: Steamed Milk
When I tried Yee Shun’s steamed milk – it piqued my interest. I wondered how they were able to make this kind of dish – so silky, soft and flavorful. The cashier (who I assumed is the owner) was very friendly – I told her that I loved the steamed milk and that it was…
