How to make Creamy Chicken Adobo with Nestle All-Purpose Cream

08.09.2016 by Leah // 3 Comments

As promised, I’m sharing with you the recipe for the Creamy Chicken Adobo that Chef Rob Pengson taught us to make during the #CreateWithCream event last July 9, 2016. Read about the event’s sumptuous happenings HERE. Except for the chicken parts which were bought fresh from the market, most of the ingredients for the Creamy Chicken Adobo are already provided for by Nestle ... READ MORE

Yesterday was one for the books: we survived an epic Saturday traffic that it felt like Friday all over again(!).  Travel time from Pasay City to Makati took an hour.  We made a short stop at Bel-Air Village (via Jupiter Street) for a delivery I have to make (thank you for supporting the Korean-made Nlighten products that I featured here, of which I am a distributor).  The plan ...

Food Post: Nolita @ Bonifacio High Street

07.19.2014 by Leah // 2 Comments

Random searching at Zomato Philippines led me to Nolita, a gourmet pizza place located at Bonifacio High Street.  The words "New York-style pizza" immediately caught my attention, because that means their pizzas must be are large and thin and crispy at the base. What we were not prepared for was the price.  Mahal sya ha! But the pizzas look inviting so gave them a ... READ MORE

Celebrate Great Times with Yellow Cab Pizza’s Christmas Fleet Tango Box

Hello, December! Just a few more days and it's finally Christmas!  I'm already excited about it and it's not just because of the parties and the food.  In fact, there will be no corporate Christmas party at our office this year (a good decision, actually), but our group decided to still hold a little get-together as a way of thanking each other for a job well done this ...

Food Post: Frankie’s New York Buffalo Wings

09.21.2013 by Leah // 2 Comments

I am so used to hearing this from my officemates: "You're having chicken again for lunch?". Yes, I really am a chicken person.  And my favorite part is, of course, the wings!  The reason is simple: it has the most balat (skin) of the chicken which I really love.  I also find it to be the most flavorful part of a chicken, maybe cause the meat is not thick, allowing the spices ...

Food Post: Wingman at The Collective

What a Monday!  I felt like I was gone for a week because of the reports that I rushed to finish this morning, not to mention the powerpoint presentation for the boss's big report next week that was due before lunch.   I shortened  my lunch  so I could finish the review of a policy document.  Then I spent the rest of the afternoon crunching numbers for a management report that ...

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers

Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito
This Pecan Bread Pudding from @ecoookie is a disco This Pecan Bread Pudding from @ecoookie is a discovery of my foodie mom @minildade and it is my favorite #quarantinedessert so far. It taste of home, with warmth and love in every bite! 💕 It's great for breakfast or even as dessert. Best eaten warm with  vanilla cream generously poured on top! 😋

It's so spacious and so safe in there. I wore double masks (KN95 and fabric mask from @quins.ph) and my favorite scrub cap from @unisol.ph_ with buttons on both sides for the mask ear loops. It kept my ears from hurting and kept my hair intact too. Never mind if I look more like a nurse than a patient here 😁 Safety first over porma 😜
