Our DIY Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice

02.20.2012 by Leah //

Not really a DIY recipe but we're happy to have discovered this ready-to-mix spice paste for hainanese chicken at the Landmark: It's by Asian Home Gourmet and costs only P74.75 (that's less than $2.00!). The very simple ingredients: 1 packet Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice Spice Paste (good for 4 servings) 450g (1 lb) chicken thighs, cut 3 slis through the ... READ MORE

An English Breakfast, Pinoy Style

02.19.2012 by Leah //

I've been meaning to share these English bangers that we discovered at Earle's Delicatessen.  We regularly shop there for our sandwich delis, and recently we discovered that they sell ready-to-cook English bangers, Pinoy longganisa and even Hickory baby back ribs as well.     They sell the English bangers by the dozen and a pack costs just around P110.00 - P120.00, depending on ...

Villa San Miguel

02.16.2012 by Leah //

Last Saturday AJ and I attended a family reunion from my dad's maternal side - the San Miguels - which was held at a private swimming pool owned by one of my dad's cousins (I think 2nd generation cousins already).   It's called Villa San Miguel and is located at Calamba in Laguna. The last time I've been there was ages ago, back when I was a kid and don't know how to swim ... READ MORE

Trying out Hana at Little Tokyo

02.11.2012 by Leah //

I still couldn't get the hang of Little Tokyo which AJ and I tried out with friends some weeks ago.   So last Monday, to celebrate my birthday, I invited my parents to eat out there again but this time, we tried another restaurant there: Hana. Hana is popular for their Takoyaki, which we had the first time we ate at Little Tokyo and which I'd love for my parents to try. ... READ MORE

A Reunion with a Surprise Birthday Cake!

02.06.2012 by Leah //

I turned a year wiser today (!) but last weekend, I already celebrated my natal day in advance during a reunion with my long-time friends, Denise, Roy and Jan, whom AJ and I met at the Podium. We had dinner at Banana Leaf, known for its Asian fusion menu.   Our menu consisted of a mix of vegetables, seafood and meat.   Each has its own flavor, but all were distinctly ... READ MORE

Food Post: Orchard Road

01.24.2012 by Leah //

It's been a while since we last ate at Orchard Road, the restaurant which promised a taste of Singapore when it opened a few years back.   Their hainanese chicken meal used to be my favorite, and after an enjoyable meal of roasted chicken at Wee Nam Kee, I realized that we haven't tried the roasted chicken there yet.    So off we went to satisfy our cravings for yet another ...

Food Post: DekA Thai Food

01.20.2012 by Leah //

For the longest time, AJ and I have been planning to try this Thai resto along Pablo Ocampo Road, which we pass by on my way to and from work. Finally, last Saturday we chose to have our dinner at DekA (pronounced Dek-A) because I really miss Thai food, having been to Bangkok ages ago. The place is kinda small but cozy. They have benches (instead of chairs) ... READ MORE
