After cooking 6 servings of Pinoy Style Corned Beef Angel Hair Pasta, I realized that a true Pinoy meal will not be complete without a dessert. Since Ive been eating more pasta and less fiber in the past couple of days, I decided to prepare a simple Creamy Fruit Salad for dessert.

Healthy Pinoy Dessert
I always choose Del Monte Fiesta Fruit Cocktail since it has refreshing mix of pineapple, papaya, nata de coco and cherries that adds color in the fruit mix.

Most of us thinks that cooking is time consuming and complicated that’s why some prefers to buy food in a fast-food chain instead of preparing a home cooked meal.

Easy to prepare Pasta Recipe
While completing my grocery list, I got curious with the Angel Hair Pasta that I saw on the other cart, since I haven’t tried it yet, I immediately grabbed one and placed it in my shopping cart without any tasty dish in mind but since I have a corned beef in my cart, i decided to use it instead of ground beef.

Tahong is one of Bacoor’s major produce and one of the major sources of income for the town constituents. I first got the chance to taste it last week when we were invited to cover the first Bacood Festival in Bacoor Cavite.

Crispy Tahong Chips
I’ve never been a big fan of Tahong (mussels) but after tasting the tahong chips I guess I’m now converted. The popular crispy tahong chips are made of fresh mussels, flour, spices and salt. Tahong Chips taste like real tahong in crunchy chip form and is usually consumed as “pulutan”, snacks, and an excellent alternative for junk foods which kids may enjoy.

Adobong Tahong
After fixing a huge serving of Digman Original Halo-Halo, we visited the Ocean Fresh Tahong Chips factory to checkout how these chips are made and, of course, to submit to another gustatory experience. Read the rest of this entry →

I’ve been a coffeeholic since i was little and a day will not be complete without a slurp of coffee. I have been consuming too much coffee in my opinion, specially while at work.

African Sunrise Tea
Two months ago, I was invited to attend the soft launch of African Sunrise from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s famed tea line. Much has been written and said about the amazing health benefits of tea but I’ve pretty much ignored it since the taste of tea isn’t really appealing for me.

Toblerone Cheesecake
After tasting the African Sunrise Latte, I realized that it wasn’t so bad after all and tea became an addition to the list of my favorite beverages. African Sunrise comes in three variants - hot, iced and latte. I have tried all three variants and I personally love the African Sunrise Latte from the first sip. Read the rest of this entry →

After attending the Volcom graphic t-shirt design contest launch, held in Good Earth Roast in Rockwell, we headed to Powerplant Mall to meet a fellow blogger for a mini *Plurkfiesta. Upon reaching the mall’s ground level, Jayvee and Phoebe invited us to join them in fulfilling their gelato cravings. Good thing I always have my camera with me so I don’t miss out on serendipitous food angles whenever plates and spoons are all set.

Delicrock - Nutella Marble Gelato 120 Php
I ordered Nutella Marble Gelato, while Jayvee, Phoebe, and Eric ordered different flavors. Just like an average food blogger, pointing the lens to the food has become a ritual before spooning the first bite. Gelato ice cream is not widely available in the market and since this frozen delight is not mass produced, you may find it a little bit expensive compared to regular ice cream.

Gelato Flavors
According to Wikipedia, Gelato is an Italian ice cream made from a liquid, milk or water; a solid, sugar, fats or sweeteners; flavorings, pastes, fruit powders; stabilizers, guar gum, locust bean, etc.; emulsifiers, mono- and digylcerides; and air. Like high-end ice cream, gelato generally has less than 55% air, resulting in a denser and more flavorful product. Read the rest of this entry →
