Kaysarap ng inihaw! Ang lutuin ang pagkain sa init ng apoy at baga. Yum! Dito makikita ang kinahinatnan.

(My 1st barbeque in NZ)

Ang apoy ay hindi lang para sa pagluluto ng pagkain kundi para din sa inumin tulad ng nasa larawan… pampainit ng tsa. Sarap! … lalo na pag malamig ang panahon. Larawang unang nalathala dito.

(Rosebud tea)

Hindi ba’t ang araw ay isang bolang apoy? Ang paglubog ng araw sa Ninety-Mile Beach.

(Sunset)

Para sa ika-7 edisyon ng Litratong Pinoy tungkol sa umaapoy.

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. Nakakagutom naman dumaan dito sa lahok mo…na-miss ko tuloy yung inihaw na baboy! (Bawal kasi dito oink-oink e!).

    Di bale, sarap naman magpatunaw ng kinain habang naglalakad sa beach at pinapanood ang sunset. :)

    Happy Huwebes sa iyo!
