My Rocking Cradle

When you are in Robinsons Place Iloilo you will never fail to see people sipping a milky white shake from a plastic bottle. And you will never fail to see people crowding around a kiosk at the second level of the mall.   It’s Buko Ilonggo specializing in buko milk shake. I got myself the smallest-sized [...]

Whenever I go home to Iloilo, I never fail to cross the Guimaras Strait. My cousins live there. My maternal grandmother stays with them. And I spent a year in my aunt’s house when I was 4 years old when parents decided that I spend my visitor year (pre-K) in a daycare in Guimaras. Come to [...]

Had a good lunch with our wedding ninang when I passed by Manila before settling down here in Iloilo! She brought me to Restaurante Pia Y Damaso in Greenbelt 5 for lunch. The restaurant occupies a small space, kind of cramped in fact because tables and chairs are too near each other. My ninang would have wanted [...]

I had lunch in Burgoo at The Podium with the Chic and Sassy Homemaker, Des, and this is what we got after we paid the bill: When I had to meet my cousins for lunch, I didn’t have second thoughts about where to bring them to eat. I’m a sucker for freebies, discounts and perks:-). [...]

Took this picture when I had lunch with my “bosses” three weeks ago: Look at the printed Hangeul characters in the scrambled egg slice. That’s the name of the Korean restaurant we had lunch in. Interesting!

Rina, the winner of Hubby’s Birthday giveaway is the lady behind Mango Mania here in Korea! You would love the sight and smell of these: Hubby had a mango-filled birthday. Too bad I wasn’t able to take pictures of the home-made ice cream, mango float and fruit salad (with mangoes, of course). The home-made mango [...]

Kiddos love this Tous Les Jours brownies: And I have every reason to love it because: Tours Les Jous made this brownie mix available in the market! Now, I am like the best baker in town for my kids. I could do magic for them in less than 5 minutes! All I have to do [...]

On a trip to Marquee Mall, we had our stomach filled with this huge pizza from Xtremely Xpresso: You know what made this trip more special? I got to meet the Chic and Sassy Homemaker, Des! Finally! I would love to see her again here in Seoul where she could shop all to her heart’s [...]

I still have a New Year’s post, how’s that? lol. Our New Year’s eve dinner was not one you can easily forget! So, we made sure some photos were taken of the fabulous dishes that were included  in the set menu we chose for our family’s last dinner for 2011. We chose Set A (1) [...]

A friend treated me to a snack at Cafe Laguna in SM City, Iloilo. She highly recommended Puto Bumbong: I love the buttery taste of the sticky rice topped with sugar and grated coconut:-). I never thought it could taste so good with brewed coffee!
