Who doesn’t find adobo as their favorite dish at home? All of us, even non-Pinoys love our adobo dish. It’s salty, sour, savory dish in one and the dripping sauce is enough to be ulam in itself. But still, cooking up a hearty dish on a daily basis is also challenging, as you need to achieve the perfect balance of flavors and the right complementing staple ingredients (be it pork, chicken, fish or vegetables) to make each family meal time a happy, satisfying experience. Chicken adobo with Jolly whole mushrooms the star of my...

We are frequent visitors of Ever Gotesco Mall Commonwealth since I was a teenager. When I’ve had the kids, we go to this area because we can still find many interesting shops at this mall which aren’t present inside the 3 giant malls near our home. I’ve just recently found out that there are a lot more things to do better than shopping when you go to this area – food! I was lucky to be included in the recent Grand “Food Crawl” held by EVER Group of Companies in Calle Bistro – a new lifestyle strip...
We’ve loved eating in Bonchon since the day we discovered it at SM Fairview. My daughters were still toddlers then when we tried our first soy glazed chicken and until now, we often crave for the crispiness and the sweet soy flavor. Just this week, we tried eating at Bonchon Ever Gotesco Commonwealth branch. It was our first time to eat at this branch and enjoyed it because the place was spacious and clean and the service was good. Kiddie Adventure Meal includes Free Bonchon Chicken Poppers and Kiddie Activity Sheet Bonchon Ever...
Have you ever attended a Tupperware party? I’ve heard of parties like these when I was younger, when my hardworking aunts and my lola will do all these different jobs to make ends meet and to support my titas’ tuition fees in college. Though I was still so young back then but I can already remember that despite the fact that our lives were difficult financially, we could still get by with our food by selling “supot” (small recycled paper for packing small things in the market – onions, garlic, sili), by selling cooked food in...
Moms like me are well aware how much better in terms of everything (price, quality, quantity and nutrition) freshly home cooked food are than processed food. But we are also aware that most ingredients for our “lutong-bahay” can be best bought in fresh/wet markets. This is a great problem for most of us who, for lack of the terms to use, “doesn’t have too much time” to actually go to a wet market to buy ingredients. Like in my case, as a working mom who works two full-time shifts in a day, it will already...
I admit peeling potatoes is not one of my favorite things to do in the kitchen but I have to do it a lot. My kids love mashed potatoes and who am I to blame them or even stop them? They want mashed potatoes with their fried chicken and roast beef. They want it for snacks and sometimes my kids request for me to make a huge bowl for school pot lucks. This is a very...
It’s the middle of the school year and since my daughters are in higher school levels, the more daunting their school lives have become. We all wake up very early to prepare for school and they arrive home just an hour early before dinner. They’ve got 8 mentally draining subjects (excluding physical education) and then a mountain of assignments when they...
Hazelnut spread is an all-time favorite spread at home and my personal favorite at the same time. I can’t imagine any person who wouldn’t like hazelnut spread. Its flavor is rich, very classy and once I have a sandwich with hazelnut filling, I just couldn’t stop eating. That’s why my kids are lucky because they share the same guilty pleasure with me and when I indulge them with sandwiches and pancakes with hazelnut spread, I also indulge myself. We are also blessed with generous aunts and in-laws who live abroad...
