Inaugural Day Lunch
Since the Foodie club has been on hiatus lately, some of the founding members decided to just have a quaint little lunch at Richard‘s place. We decided on having a time old tested classic of HCR. (Hainanese Chicken Rice for the uninitiated. Check out old post here) Between Bites and I have been talking about this lunch for quite some time not only for the food, but also for the kwento and...
Read MoreSecret Taste Test (Guest Photographer)
Every now and then I would have guest writers write entries for me regarding a particular restaurant and/or dining experience. I find this a thrill because it offers up a different point of view, in terms of the experience itself. I offer up a refreshing new perspective. For this series, I brought along a guest photographer! Surprise surprise right? Garry G. Angeles has been a friend for quite...
Read MoreThe Secret Taste Test (2nd Series)
Its been a week since the initial taste test was conducted, and based on the comments I got last week, we have improved the recipe as well as variety of burgers. This time around I came prepared as well. With the right equipment as well as right lighting techniques. I knew I was going to be styling the food. With each dish being prepped for my styling skills (or rather whatever I thought looked...
Read MoreSecret Taste Test
Every now and then blogging does have its perks. The other day a friend of mine invited me to be the official taste tester for his upcoming project. I took up the burden (yes the burden!) of having to go through the burgers, fries, buffalo wings, and a beers for his up-coming resto. Since I can’t really name who my friend is, where his resto will open up, when, what the concept is, and the...

Read MoreAglio e Olio Pasta (The Secret!)
Aglio e Olio is a traditional Italian pasta dish. Identifying it with countrified home cooking, cucina rustica, for it is made without seasonal or store-bought ingredients, many attribute its origin to the poverty-stricken and traditionally isolated region of Abruzzo; however it is quite popular elsewhere in the country. In keeping with its casalinga quality, it is traditionally made with...
Read MoreEggs, Cravings, and Lazy Saturday Mornings
It was just one of those days every foodie dreads. As soon as one wakes up, the unmistakable grumbling of the tummy makes itself felt and even before you touch the floor with your bare feet you know you it was one of those days. “What to eat?” It sounds to benign and innocent. It seems as if the problem of what to ingest after an hours of sleep would matter less just as long as the...
Read MoreEaster Lunch
Easter Lunch has always and will always be a tradition for most of us Christian and Catholics of joyous celebration. It is said that on this day, Jesus is resurrected making true his promise and completing the 2nd part of the redemption of man from sin. Veering away from the theological basis, it is also said to end the season of Lent as season of fasting and sacrifice, hence the copious amounts...
Read MoreBlack Saturday Dinner
I’ve always loved food. When people find out that I blog about nothing but food, the first question they always ask me is “So what’s your favorite type of cuisine?” I find myself staring out into space in search of the answer to this oh-so-simple question. My love affair with food started way back when I was young, hence the rather large figure I have. I can’t just have one cuisine. Its...
Read MoreBacalhau, Traditions, and Good Friday
Taking a break from the usual restaurant tours, I decided to add something that has somewhat become a tradition for this blog; our traditional meals in our family. Although we trace our lineage from the Kapangpangans or Cabalens and have that inculcated with our daily meals, it is during the special holidays do we really roll out the good stuff. Last New Year I featured, Callos on this blog and...
