Sweet Gifts for Christmas

12.09.2011 by Leah //

Christmas is that time of the year where we receive the most number of C's - cookies, cakes, chocolates and candies.   All sweet food!  And we love receiving them, right? Unfortunately for me, I am not a sweet-tooth person but I do crave for one once in a while.    On the other hand, AJ loves sweets.   But I do appreciate good dessert food (as long as it's not sugary sweet) ...

Food Post: Pepper Lunch

12.01.2011 by Leah //

I can no longer count the number of times we've been to Pepper Lunch.  Our favorite was the one at Rockwell, and the aroma of the pepper rice meals never fail to lure us, especially after hearing mass at the chapel there. We have tried both the chicken and beef pepper rice meals, but the dish that we have almost always ordered is the chicken and beef combo, which AJ and I ... READ MORE

Food Post: Php99 Meals at Gilligan’s

11.27.2011 by Leah //

AJ and I had our dinner earlier at Gilligan's (Robinson's Galleria branch).  We were actually curious with their P99.00 meals that comes with unlimited rice, and since I haven't tried it yet (I usually prefer Dencio's for Pinoy food), we decided to give it a try. We didn't set our expectations high with our orders, thinking that they would probably scrimp on the servings ... READ MORE

Chicken and Asparagus Farfalle (from Appetite Magazine)

11.21.2011 by Leah //

I'm not ashamed to admit that I can't cook without the guidance of a recipe.   I'm still not ready to try dishes that I could call my own, much less prepare one that is based on stock knowledge haha! So I am really happy to discover food magazines that provides easy meals to follow.   I enjoyed preparing the Banana Chocnut Trifle last time so my excitement doubled when I ... READ MORE

Banana Chocnut Trifle (from Yummy Magazine)

11.14.2011 by Leah //

Thanks to Yummy Magazine, I was able to make my first dessert last Saturday!   And it was a success! The recipe is called Banana Chocnut Trifle and it's from the July 2011 issue of Yummy Magazine (bought on sale): For this simple recipe, you will need:   4 bananas (cut into 1/4-inch thick slices),  8 large Chocnut (broken into pieces), 3 thick slices pound cake or any ...

Food Post: Kimono Ken

11.13.2011 by Leah //

Last Friday we had lunch at Kimono Ken, thanks to our boss who treated us there. Here are some of the food I had - all good, if I must say: Tofu Steak.  Mixed Sushi Platter. Kani Salad.   Ebi Tempura.    Gyoza.    Equally good was their chicken teriyaki which I wasn't able to take pictures of because it was immediately wiped out. I'll definitely ... READ MORE

Food Post: Myron’s Steak

11.04.2011 by Leah //

Last Friday, AJ and I celebrated our 5th month anniversary as a couple.   We don't get to celebrate our wedding anniversary each month, so we treated ourselves this time with a big and very expensive steak hehe! We chose to dine in style at Myron's in Rockwell. It was a very early dinner actually, because AJ works on a night shift and has to be at work by 8 p.m. Good ... READ MORE
