What If You Open a Filipino Restaurant…
If you open a Filipino restaurant, what would be your menu? I know, I know. A lot have already been said about Filipino restaurants outside the motherland. If we miss pinoy food, go home and cook. There is no place like home. It could never be as good as the way mom cooks it. Why is Pinoy food not as popular as Thai or Vietnamese? Yada yada yada. But let’s not talk about the nitty-gritty details and make things much simpler. Think of this scenario. Say opening a restaurant that would cater to everybody, including non-Pinoy. A foreign country, a … Continue reading What If You Open a Filipino Restaurant…

LP#40: Pula
Ang bulaklak na rosas ay parating ginagamit na adorno sa lahat ng bagay. Maganda at mabango sa hardin. Bilang confetti sa engrandeng kasal. Umaapaw sa rose petals na pampaligo sa iyong private spa. Ang masarap na rosebud tea. At kinakain … Continue reading LP#40: Pula

La.Pi.S#27: Holiday Goodies
I only have this week and I’m off for Christmas holiday! Yey! (1 1/2 day next week doesn’t count at all.) I decided I’m gonna be spending those days practicing a couple of cupcake and muffin recipes for giveaways. Nothing dead tedious, just pretty basic but definitely something to be proud of. Probably work on some new frosting to jazz up my vanilla cupcakes and chocolate muffins.
These are mini triple choc muffins I baked for Antonio’s packed school lunch.
LP#37: Mahalagang Regalo
Ako ay isang taong hindi mahirap regaluhan.
Mababaw lang naman ang aking kaligayahan.
Maligaya ako basta’t masaya ang aking unico hijo; siya na rin yatang pinakamahalagang regalong natanggap ko sa buhay ko.
Maligaya din ako na sa araw-araw ay may biyaya sa aming hapag-kainan.
(Little A and food on the dining table.)
Sa panahon ngayon ng recession at sandamakmak na redundancy,
… mahalagang regalo para sa amin ang balitang kami ay residente na dito sa bansa ni Gollum.
Maligaya kami’t magkakasama dito para sa aming unang pasko.
(Munching on M&Ms watching this City of Sails, autumn early this year)
