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 din po ito. Nakatikim na ba kayo ng pinaghalong tsokolate at rosas? Kung hindi nyo po nalalaman, ang rosas ay isa sa mga edible flowers. Kakaibang quail-in-rose-petal sauce sa nobela/pelikulang Como Agua Para Chocolate (Like Water for Chocolate).

Ito ay Tiramisu na may rose petal. Hindi ko po kinain ang bulaklak hehehehe…

Tiramisu adorned with a single red rose petal.

Para sa Litratong Pinoy na may temang Pula.

I am not a professional cook. My only claim to having a culinary background is a short stint as my dad’s teen ‘sous chef’ in his carinderia ages ago. Dad ran small eateries since I was a young kid - serving standard ‘turo-turo’ food ranging from the likes of menudo, adobo, pritong isda, dinuguan, binagoongan, bopis, munggo, pinakbet and giniling to merienda fares like goto, ginataan, pancit bihon, halu-halo and saging con yelo.

My father, a farmer in his hometown before working his way to becoming an accountant, definitely influenced my cooking in a lot of ways than I thought. My siblings and I were raised in a backyard full of fruit trees and vegetable garden. We spent weekends and the summer breaks running around with ducks, chickens, goats and pigs. I had wonderful memories of gathering eggs, butchering chickens, selling vegetables and the sweet aroma of preserved fruits. But my love for art led me to a degree in Architecture. Just few months after getting my license, I went abroad and lived independently at age 23. Definitely no maid, no cook, and a totally different food culture. Along the way I met lots of friends and spent what seemed a lifetime learning new tricks and recipes.

Now living in Auckland, I am a work-from-home mum who juggles time between work, fun and family - in pursuit of work-life balance. No matter how busy I am, I love the idea of cooking for my family. My blog chronicles home cooking greatly influenced by life outside my home country from Southeast Asia to Beijing and Auckland. And most of the time, being busy also means easy (sometimes quick), affordable meals.

  1. sa totoo lang, rosebud tea pa lang ang natikman ko na may rosas na bulaklak. pero yung katas lang nya yun… masarap at mabango!

  2. I love tiramisu, pero I haven’t seen one decorated with a rose petal until now… it’s very pretty :-)
    I’m not sure about eating the petal though
