Batuan is a traditional souring ingredient from Iloilo. While I’ve heard about batuan before, it was only last week that I got to try it in Sinigang. I really enjoyed the dish, and am now a huge fan of this little fruit. This pack of batuan was being sold at the Negros Trade Fair. After [...]

If there’s one food you can eat everyday, what would it be? Mine would be pizza. PIZZAAAAAAAAAAAA. In fact, I think I’ve found that one pizza I’d want to eat everyday. Pizza Hut’s 3-Cheese, Bacon and Spinach Pizza. Thin crust? Check. Cheese? Check (parmesan), check (cheddar), check (mozzarella). Bacon? Just enough! Check. Spinach? Just enough! [...]

Attention chocoholics. You’ve got to try this. It’s called “Hazelnut Heaven”, one of Sebastian Ice Cream’s Dive Bars. They describe it as “Gianduja Ice Cream dipped in our special Gianduja coating, and then rolled in chopped homemade Nutella Cups (think Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, but with Nutella instead!).” Chocoholics rejoice! I took only one bite [...]

The 26th Negros Trade Fair is ongoing at the Rockwell Tent till Sunday, October 2. Go, go, go! I went nuts the day they opened. There are so many beautiful things to look at and eat.

What do you crave on a grey, rainy day? I crave any of these three things: a bowl of champorado, Pork Sinigang with rice, a bowl of delicious, hot ramen. It was a grey rainy day on my birthday, so my husband brought me and the little boy to Ramen Bar at Eastwood Mall. Ramen [...]

What we like about it is its laid back ambiance and that “Don’t rush me!” feeling it evokes. I’m pertaining to the Robinson’s Pioneer branch [...]

Popcorn is love in all shapes and forms. I’m waiting for Sebastian’s to come out with popcorn ice cream. Mmm. While that’s (hopefully) in the works, here’s another form of popcorn to satisfy our popcorn cravings — popcorn discs! Magic Pop! My mother-in-law and I chanced upon a kiosk at the basement level of Megamall [...]

This is how Sebastian’s describes their newest ice cream flavor: “Fluffy BUTTERMILK PANCAKE ICE CREAM garnished with crisp CANDIED BACON and soft PANCAKE CHUNKS soaked in Maple Syrup!” Did anyone say bacon? Mmmmm. I’ve seen bacon ice cream being prepared a lot on Top Chef episodes, so I was glad I could finally taste it [...]

When some of my Twitter friends were going nuts about ChaTime, I knew I had to try it. More milk tea craziness!, I thought. One friend in particular was super nuts about the place, and her very detailed description of the drinks with matching big gestures and strong emotions were enough to send me into [...]

Have you ever eaten anything that made your eyes close, insides tingle and toes curl? I have. Sebastian’s Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream. Holy friggin’ caramel, Batman. It was so good. It’s inspired by a classic French confection — salted butter caramel candies! Yum. This dessert has creamy caramel ice cream and is made with [...]
