I’m not a big fan of sisig. I haven’t eaten pork for almost eight years (thanks to my Kernie). So when a colleague suggested we review the House of Sisig, I was a little bit hesitant. The idea of eating pig head parts didn’t sit well with my stomach.
But when I found out that there [...]

After years of searching for the chocolate of my youth, I finally found it:

The Lala chocolate, also called “milo.”
Actually, it’s my cousin who bought it for me. The old sari-sari store at our former neighborhood was selling this all along. Previously, some tinderas told me that Lala is no longer sold around the neighborhood and [...]

Mochi Balls

I loved mochi balls at first taste during a lunch out with an office friend at Kozui. I was craving for something sweet or anything chocolate when I spotted these little balls at the display counter calling out to me.

My sunny breakfast

Sunny side up egg

Our helper Nay Mary likes to cook sunny side ups for breakfast. Though I like scrambled eggs, the sunny side ups are growing on me.
Depending on my appetite, I eat one or two sunny eggs with heavenly fragrant rice (I love Dinorado). If I’m really hungry, I’ll throw in a couple of hotdogs too.
I’ve been [...]

Nestle Yogurt Melon Nata

I have a confession to make… I’ve been eating rice again. A lot of it.
That’s what happens when you’ve got a husband who cooks really good, one serving of rice is never enough.
But I’ve been feeling bloated and sluggish again — definitely not good when you want to be productive.
So before I eat my main [...]

Just combine some Koko Krunch, vanilla milkshake, choco Kisses, choco mint cookie, Maltesers and chocolate ice cream and you’re in for a wild chocolatey ride.
I was never a big fan of cereals but a visit to Cerealicious quickly changed my mind.
