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. What I love the most in Bonchon is that there’s something for everyone when you eat here. Aside...
Have you ever tried pawning something, a jewelry, a gadget or anything valuable you own, for an emergency need? Which pawnshop did you choose to go to? My first time in a sanglaan (pawnshop) was when I was in college. The only piece of jewelry I had was a necklace given to me by my lola. My lola was the one who sustained my college tuition, through her small house rental business, and by soliciting from my generous uncle and aunties. However, most of the time, budget was stiff. I had to pawn a jewelry and get it back after a couple of...
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...
There’s good news if you want to help protect the environment and save money at the same time. Many home energy conservation ideas can trim your utility and shopping bills. Replace incandescent lighting with energy-efficient LED light bulbs. Incandescent bulbs release 90 percent of their energy as heat, which makes them burn out and waste energy. LEDs last longer than traditional bulbs so you’ll spend less money replacing them. You can recycle LEDs too, which means you’ll contribute less waste to local landfills. Using...
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...
In every Filipino household, eggs and chicken are considered staple food, next to rice or bread. What better way to show appreciation to these humble foods than by having one day in a year celebrating eggs and chicken! And because I am an egg and chicken lover myself, I made sure that I’d be present in the World Chicken And Egg Day hosted by Bounty Fresh at...
