I always stock a couple of Nissin Instant Cup Noodles in our pantry for days when we need easy to prepare soup to warm our stomach (merienda, when we have colds, or when it’s a rainy day). I usually buy the seafood flavored cups because they are the tastiest and not “nakakasawa”. Sometimes, I also bring cup noodles when we travel out of the country or when we check in on a hotel. They are the easiest food to carry and you just need hot water and you’ll have something to fill in your tummy. At Robinsons Place Manila...

Halloween is one of the most awaited days of our kids and to keep with the tradition and of course, to make our kids happy, we usually give them candies. Where do you think this tradition of giving candies came from? According to Wikipedia, “The custom of trick-or-treating at Halloween may come from the belief that supernatural beings, or the souls of the dead, roamed the earth at this time and needed to be appeased.” When the kids pose and wear something like these ghosts, they become protected from being harmed from these...
Have you tasted Red Ribbon’s Classic Polvoron? You must and I guarantee you won’t regret it. I used to ignore these treats before when I go to Red Ribbon to buy a cake roll or pastillas which happened to be my kids’ favorites. My husband asked me to buy some for him and that’s when we discovered, masarap pala sya! Every bite you take is creamy and the polvoron is quite solid and doesn’t crumble easily. According to Zinnia Rivera, general manager of Red Ribbon, the Classic Polvoron offers just the right amount...
I have always heard about how good it is to shop at Cherry Foodarama since I was small. Imagine, Cherry had been in the business since the ’50’s and yet the sound of the name still brings the same feeling of celebration, food (“foodarama”) and sweetness (“cherry). Last October 13, I was fortunate to witness the re-opening of Cherry Shaw which closed months before, to open as a brighter, more vibrant shopping site for its loyal shop goers. The big red name of the store outside at the top of the building seemed...
With hundreds of shopping malls sprouting here and there, Robinsons Townville is making its mark to the hearts of the people by offering real shopping convenience. I’ve been to Robinsons Townville in Meycauayan, Bulacan recently and I saw how advantageous this shopping mall is to the community. It has everything you need in one visit. Inside Robinson’s Townville which I easily noticed when I was there were: Robinson’s Appliances Robinson’s Supermarket South Star Drug (with it’s own mini grocery) HandyMan Fun...
What I found in the grocery this week just made my husband love me more. His favorite “pulutan” is tofu or tokwa (not necessarily actually that he drinks alcohol, he just likes something to munch as he work on his computer) and my latest find made it easier for me to prepare what he likes. Datu Puti ToyoMagic is your perfect companion for “tokwang baboy” and it costs only P25 per bottle as I bought one from Puregold this week. It’s soy sauce combined with vinegar and onion (without the bits and pieces) and...
We were all brought up with cakes as one of the most special symbols of celebration, particularly birthdays. Filipinos love cakes and no matter how cake designs had evolved these days, the simplest cake will be enough to bring happiness to the celebrant. But Red Ribbon—one of the leading bakeshops in the country—wants to make Filipinos feel more special by offering a double treat to celebrants with their latest Double Deck Dedication Cake. Have you tasted a Red Ribbon cake before? I bet you will agree with me that their chocolate...
As my kids are growing older, they get busier with their school stuff, their increasing number of friends, music, arts, etcetera. But I don’t loathe these stuff. These are all part of growing up. So what we do as a family to make up with our “bonding” moments, we go on family food trips. We call it “food trips” because we plan it just like our travel trips : we scout the place, we check the price, the food, the opening/closing time, and then we get the map. Even if it means just going to the nearby malls and...
