Yummy Eats 2013: An Unforgettable Feast
Thanks again to Nuffnang Philippines, I got to know about Yummy Eats 2013, a one-day eating and cooking affair held at the NBC Tent last Saturday, and is sponsored by Yummy Magazine, my favorite food magazine. I went with AJ and my cousin, Mae Anne, and we were "virgins" to this kind of affair. It's an eating fair but we didn't expect it to be such as a big eating ... READ MORE
Pasta in Olive Oil and Spanish Sardines
This recipe was inspired by the Angel Hair Pasta with Spanish Sardines and Broccoli that my sis-in-law, Juvvy, prepared during my short stay in Cebu. She paired it with Hungarian Sausages.

Hot Pot Sate Broth
We had some guests two (2) weeks ago, my Ninang (godmother) and cousin Ineng. Since my mom has left-over frozen gyozas (Japanese dumplings), I decided to make a Hot Pot Sate Broth. This is a shabu-shabu dish wherein you prepare the broth, set it in a really warm pot (much better if you have a camping burner so it'll simmer continuously) and the guests will add the uncooked ...
