I've loved Kirei since I was little, I'm so happy that I can still share it to my kids!  Oishi has produced numerous of snacks through the years that has catered to everyone's taste buds.  They've also built a brand around Asia.  It makes me so proud because it's a home grown Pinoy brand. When I was in Beijing, I felt very kilig seeing Oishi snacks whenever I went to the grocery.  Little did I know that Oishi has also produced snacks only available in certain Asian countries.  Last Sunday, I received a package of the World of O'Wow - and I was surprised to see the different snacks from Thailand, Vietnam and China.  See the different snacks below: I was so excited when I opened it!  Hahaha..  These snacks are not sold in the country, but for this holiday season - it's available! PRESS RELEASE Asian flavors come together in Oishi World of O, Wow! Bag From its humble origins of repacking gawgaw and local coffee and introducing cla...

Having been introduced to the products of Contadina, I must say that it has made my cooking a LOT easier.  I really like how Contadina pastas are easy to make, their sauces are very good too!  I so love the flavor and aroma of the Contadina Olive Oils. So when I was invited to so a supermarket run, I didn't pass up the chance.  I am not one to plan a meal - unless, I have this bugging idea in my head for a long time.  More often than not, I just wing it.  I look at my fridge and pantry, and then think what I can do with those ingredients.  I start from there.  I don't usually follow a recipe to a T, unless it's really something I want to try for the first time.  So while on the supermarket run, I picked up the Contadina products that I thought would help me cook an easy yet very tasty dish.  As much as I wanted to research on what to prepare, I thought to myself - well, that's really not my style.  Hahahaha!! After picking up ...

Friends and food.  That's what happened two days ago when we tried Paradise Dynasty .  I was with mommy bloggers (turned real life friends) and we had such a wonderful time together eating and laughing.  It was as if we planned it as a day off (together), because that two hour break felt like it was a day off.  We laughed, ate a lot of #XiaoLongBao, tried new dishes and enjoyed one another's company. Special thanks to Marj for arranging this - I can't thank you enough because I really enjoyed the taste test with friends. Okay, so Paradise Dynasty.  I honestly knew about this restaurant when I went to Singapore early this year.  It was recommended by a friend, but we never got to try it there.  I was very happy to learn that they've opened a branch here in Manila!  Paradise Dynasty is located at the 2nd level of S Maison, the mall connected with the Conrad Hotel.  We were greeted by warm smiles and led to the main dining area - it had ...
