We celebrated my dad's 65th birthday last Monday at Tagaytay City. We left Manila at around 9:00 a.m. and was there just before lunch time. After taking a short tour of People's Park, we headed off to Bag of Beans for a late lunch (side story: we were supposed to eat at ViewPoint but could not find it so we ended up here). This is not the first time I've been to Bag ... READ MORE
Birthdays and Estrel’s Cakes
Today is my dad's birthday (Happy Birthday Daddy!). He turned 65 but we opted not to hold a big party for him (as others are wont to do, since it's a milestone age). We know that his only wish was to spend his birthday with Liam, his only apo (only grandchild) so last Saturday, my brother and his family flew from Cebu to surprise him. AJ and I picked them up at the airport, ... READ MORE
Tea Cookies as Wedding Favors
I received a happy news from my friend, Denise, this week: a blog reader ordered tea cookies from Kitchentales for her wedding, after reading about it in my blog! Really cool and nice! The blog reader turned out to be Miles, who is a co-W@Wie (she's a member of Weddings at Work or W@W in which I was a former member) and whose wedding blog I used to read. Her big day is ...

Experiencing the Saladmaster Difference (Part 2)
I received lots of good feedbacks about Saladmaster from my previous post which made me really happy because it confirmed my impression on the brand - effective, durable and with highly satisfied customers. Now, are you familiar with the baking soda test? You can try it at home. First taste the baking soda (you will find it salty). Then put a teaspoon of it in your ... READ MORE
Experiencing the Saladmaster Difference (Part 1)
I remember when I was young, my mom would spend so much time at the cookware department of SM perusing their many brands of pots, frying pans and skillets. She and my dad have invested in high-end cookware items over the years (Tefal is their favorite) and I could see why - it's because cooking for the family is very important to them. They not only love to cook - they love ... READ MORE
Sunday Lunch
Chicken Fillet with Spinach Pesto Sauce in Linguini Pasta Club Sandwich These were both from Pancake House. The Club Sandwich, one of Pancake House's best-seller, was good as always. But the gourmet pasta was a disappointment - the noodles were soggy and the sauce bland. To infuse some flavor, we added lots and lots of parmesan cheese (which, thankfully, we ... READ MORE
Food Post: Panciteria Lido
I've been hearing about the pugon-roasted (pugon is brick oven in English) asado (roast pork) of Panciteria Lido and how good it was. I've tried brick-oven cooked pizzas but roast pork? This is gonna be my first. We were finally able to try it when we passed by a Panciteria Lido branch along Pasong Tamo, on our way to Waltermart. You won't miss the restaurant ... READ MORE
Revisiting Mr. Jones
It's been a while since AJ and I last ate at Mr. Jones. We super love this restaurant which serves a mix of Filipino, Italian and American dishes in a 50's diner-style ambiance. The last time we went there it was closed due to some renovation. Our favorite there was the Tapa Overload (featured previously in my blog) and I was craving for one last Sunday so we headed to ...
