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!

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 the Contadina products, I proceed

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 such a nice view of Manila B
