Gourmet Picks

By | Yummy! | 6 Comments

I got so excited when I saw the new Gourmet Picks line of Oishi!  I bought one of each to try and they were all YUMMY!  For the potato chips lover out there, you might like it too.  I like it that they chose Asian flavors – Kimchi ( Korean ) and Wasabi and Nori ( Japanese )…..who knows maybe they will come out with Adobo flavor or something Filipino:-)

C Italian Deli and Wine Shop

By | Foodie, Travel | 8 Comments

On the way back to Manila from Subic, we passed by Clark to eat in this restaurant that everyone is talking about!   Thanks Tito Ralph and Tita Babot for the surprise lunch treat !!!dsc_4865.JPGc-italiancover.jpg

Good thing the owner, Chris Locker, was there to take care of us …. by strict instruction of Tito Ralph 🙂

Chris told me that when he first opened 5 years ago, he had 24 seats and 8 employees.  Now he has 190 seats and 45 employees! Wow!  More power to you Chris and I hope you open in Makati!! 🙂

They have an outdoor area for private functions/parties or for night time seating when it is a bit cooler

This is where the famous panizza is made

There is another dining area in front of the restaurant

This is what people from all over come all the way here for!  I LOVE IT TOO!!! I like the way he called them in his menu – It would be nice names if you were looking for baby names 🙂 Chris told me that it was he and his girlfriend ( now his wife )  who discovered this panizza.  My Dad was trying to fish as to what Chris puts in his panizza that makes it very good…. all he said was it was made with five cheeses!  Wow! No wonder it is so good and I like it so much!

Legaspi Sunday Market

By | Foodie | 2 Comments

I went with my Mom two weeks ago to the Legaspi Sunday market.  It was our first time. They had a mixture of food and non food booths.  We came at around 8:30 am and many were just setting up.

Here are some of the things we saw

Ateneo Reunion

By | Celebrations, Foodie | One Comment

This is a long overdue post.  Last year we had an Ateneo College group reunion since Joanne was in town.  We took advantage to get together.  We were not complete, we missed Bubu and Raoul. We just celebrated at home with homemade food, thanks to Suzette for bringing the wine and homemade desserts.

Champoy Sugar

By | Yummy! | 3 Comments

I learned this from my Tita Nena years ago.  She had a great idea of using the champoy powder with suha!  Instead of dipping the suha in rock salt, dip it into the champoy sugar.  It is so yummy!! Try it!

Towels by Debenhams

By | Finds, What's New at Rustan's | 2 Comments

Another great find!!!  Again I am always thankful when I am able to find something my husband really wants!  He is so picky! We have searched high and low for the towel that he likes.  Even my dad is picky about his towels, he has to buy the Shangri-la Hotel towels because they are thick and absorb very well.  So you can imagine the thrill I got when I found out that the towel my husband likes is right here in Rustan’s at Debenhams!! So this is now my favorite section in Debenhams!!

Make sure to choose the Egyptian cotton towels.  They cost P 1,350.00 each which is well worth it!

And good news…they come in many different colors!

Debenhams has many other towels at very reasonable prices..
