Ate Vi Of Victoria

One restaurant that has been a part of my childhood and, at the same time, still part of my present, is definitely Ate Vi’s Kambingan. When I was young, this carinderia, located at Victoria, was the family’s regular stop whenever we were traveling north. I wouldn’t say my order because my parents already know what

How I Make Corned Beef Cottage Pie

Shepherd’s Pie and Cottage Pie are two savory pies that are definitely included in our list of comfort food. I once had Moussaka, a dish similar to Irish Shepherd’s Pie when we dined in a Turkish restaurant. But that was a once in a blue moon experience because in my country, beef is more accessible

Very Best Of A Morning Menu At Breakfast At Antonio’s

No Plans, No Maps, No GPS, No Rules. Just a ride leading us to where our hearts desire. Breakfast at Antonio’s is one of the restaurants I dreamt about during the long stretch of lockdown. Now, I’m joyful to announce that this period’s travel restrictions finally allow us to travel outside the region and to

How I Make White Chocolate Mint Milkshake

I mentioned in my recent blog tackling some matching food pairings that chocolate and mint combination is among the things that is so addicting and blending when mixed. Some people may not want the fusion of chocolate and mint but I’ll argue with them on this. It’s decadent and refreshing at the same time. Actually,

Buon Appetito At Robby’s Cafeteria

Robby’s Cafeteria is one of the longest running restaurants in the town proper of Puerto Galera. We are focused so much on food establishments located at White Beach and Sabang Beach. Little did we know that there are still worth-visiting restaurants along the highway like Robby’s Cafeteria, an Italian restaurant located near Muelle Pier. Now,

How I Make Chinese Chicken Herb Soup

As someone who has Chinese relatives, I got to taste this so called Chinese Herb Soup from time to time. When there’s an occasion, my Chinese aunt serves this as part of their feast and packs a pot for us to take home. Aside from chicken, it also comes in beef or duck. Actually, this

Anti-aging Granola

The first plan is to handcraft granolas that are brain boosting, energy restoring, flu fighting and fit sustaining only. But I guess that we also need a bowl of granola that is anti-aging. As we age, we may not feel as confident as we were when we were still young. As we age, we may

How I Make Salted Egg Chicken Wings

Hey! I just made Salted Egg Chicken Wings! Given my skills in cooking, Salted Egg Chicken Wings is one of the dishes that seem to be impossible to cook. It seems so complicated. That was in my mind for years now so we were just opting for powdered salted egg flavoring for our wings.  My

Missing Mrs. Fields

If there’s one pre-pandemic store I miss, that’ll be Mrs. Fields. I remember taking my class breaks in Mall of Asia and buy my favorite pastries and drinks at their stall under the stairs. After my part-time work at Sta. Cruz before, I would visit SM San Lazaro and get light snack at Mrs. Fields.

How I Make Brie Mashed Potato

After more than two decades of existing in the world, I’m now proclaiming that my favorite cheese is Brie! I grew up in a place where processed cheese are frequently used to dishes. Aside from Eden Cheese, we also have parmesan, mozzarella and cheddar. But thanks to this charcuterie board trend, I got to learn
