During my recent trip to LA, I passed by Trader Joe’s to buy some goodies for a friend back in Manila. I love Trader Joe’s and used to go there on a weekly pilgrimage to by these artisanal, organic, and unique food items. It reminds me of your neighborhood grocer, gone bi-coastal. I also love...
People always get shocked when they learn my abilities in the domestic sense, especially when they find out I know how to cook. When I was in LA, I made some guacamole that got devoured within minutes. I thought my friends were just hungry. Tonight I made some guac for the weekend since we had...
I was part of Lifestyle Asia’s April issue dedicated to travel. I talked about Copenhagen, one my fave cities.

So the other day, while getting myself ready, I noticed a double dose of white hair growing in the same root. Then, I started putting on makeup and noticed a very promising frown line in between my brows. I am also about to turn 29; my youth, as I know it, is officially over. Botox...
So back to my Roomie Reunion New Year celebration. After a full day of walking all over Rome, and then some, and after having back to back pizza meals for dinner and lunch, we wanted something different. So we hopped onto a cab to cross the bridge to Trastevere where I had a memorable meal...
I got this invitation in the mail from good friend Tessa, and I knew I couldn’t miss it. Tessa is notorious for her off-the-hook parties, fantastic prizes, and all-out fun games and programs. This time, it was a pre-Easter brunch get together before we all leave Manila for our Holy Week travels. The brunch was...
Congratulations to Agnes Dela Cruz! You win the Vosges Haut Chocolat Truffles!So last Christmas I did a Goodie Giveaway on a set of Vosges Haut Chocolat Bars. Vosges is one of my favorite chocolate brands, and obviously since I’m trying to lose weight, keeping this sexy purple box to myself will only sabotage my Beach...
I’m a sucker for kitchen appliances, and the brand-new gadget to make my kitchen look even more lab-like. I’m such a techie that I even use contraptions for such simple (protein shakes) and complicated (salad dressing) recipes. That’s why I’m absolutely in LOVE with my Blender Bottle. On the forefront, the Blender Bottle looks like...
Congratulations to Didi Tang for winning the Truffle Salt Goodie Giveaway! Ok ok ok… I’m gonna make this super easy for you guys. I realized that my hoarder tendencies are, albeit a downfall for my credit card, a wonderful thing for the followers of Trip or Treats. Hoarding is the reason why I bought 3...

I love mezze as much as I love sauces. I also love spices and exotic flavors and the flavors of the Middle East as well as the Mediterranean. When New World Hotel added Lebanese sous chef Malek Mahmoud Elsafadi to their team, they added a Middle-Eastern Mediterranean section to their daily lunch & dinner buffet...
You know what they say… the best things come in the smallest packages. Only a week left until J.Co Donuts & Coffee opens its Philippine flagship store at The Strip in Megamall (building B)! Remember my post about the uber-yummy designer donuts that J.Co carries? Well, not only do they have a mouthwatering assortment of...
I did a bit of online shopping today, and I chanced upon Ricki’s Basic Cheese Making Kit. I’m a sucker for DIY kits ever since I was a kid. From jewelry making, to pottery, to wood burning kits, I’ve tried them all. And especially with the revolution for sustainable edibles, what better way to personalize...
Just like Piccolo Buco by the Trevi Fountain, it’s a rare find to discover authentic and delicious Italian restaurants by the Colosseum without being lured by the enticing view of the amphitheatre from your dining table. Roomie & I wanted meals that didn’t break the bank yet filled our appetites with quality meals. We decided...
People who are close to me know how much I love a good cookout. At one get together, I learned this simple taco salad recipe from Cupcake Lab‘s Cay, and with some tweaking and add-ons, it’s been a staple at dinners which I prepare for family and friends. This is also great as a potluck...
Here’s a perfect example of the adage, great things come in small packages. This is the entrance to InTown Luxury House in Rome, a guest house hotel which Roomie & I stayed at on our last night in Italy. Although the entrance is a little underwhelming, Intown’s proximity to Via Condotti, the Spanish Steps, and...
CONGRATULATIONS TO KAREN ANG! You won the P2000 GC to Aria Cucina Manila!
