The premier authority on food FINALLY launches a food list! I was so happy to learn this and when I was invited to the launch, I was excited. I immediately opened the book and scanned through the pages and I was impressed. The list was complete!

During the launch we were served with the #1's in the list - I was able to try the following:

Cibo's Iced Tea - very refreshing, it tasted to natural!

Bar Dolci's Thai Iced Tea Gelato - this has got to be THE best Thai Iced Tea gelato EVER! The taste is so very authentic, brings me back to my Bangkok Trip way back in 2007! Yes, my tastes buds travelled back in time! Hahaha..

Lusso's Luxe Mac and Cheese - I'm a fan of mac and cheese and Lusso's did not disappoint! How I wish the servings were bigger! Hahaha...

Nachos from Hermanos Taco Shop - its steak! Yes, the meat is not ground beef but is STEAK! The flavors were perfect, with just one bit - its authentic Mexican!

Maty's Tapsilog - I initially thought, oh! a dark looking sisig - but it was tapsilog! It was very tender and flavorful! I went back to get seconds! Shhhh...

Shi Lin's Xiao Long Bao - this has got to be the BEST one in Manila in my opinion, and I'm so very glad the Spot.ph thinks to too!!

Angel's Kitchen's Rustic Apple Pie - I'm a very loyal customer of Angel's Kitchen. Visit the place and try their food. I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!

Stevie's Hainanese Chicken - not a huge fan of Hainanese chicken but man, when I tried this yesterday FOR THE FIRST TIME - I have to agree that its the BEST in Manila. The ginger sauce says it all - plus the chicken is so very juicy, which is a rarity here in Manila.

Aling Nene's Barbeque - being an alumni of DLSU, Aling Nene's BBQ is no stranger to me! I used to pass by this place to bring home some BBQ to mom! :)

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily. When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization. The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them. I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing. It was not practical if you ask me. The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was. It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me. I wa...
