Plastic Free Lucban
K ung kaya ng Lucban, Quezon na i-eliminate ang pag gamit ng plastic to make their town eco-friendly bat inde magawa sa buong Pilipinas!? It has been my long time dream to go to the market and buy stuff, and put them in a brown bag, parang yung nakikita ko ba sa mga movies sa States. Parang classic kasi ang dating pag ganun. Inde ko akalain na sa Lucban ko lang pala yun mararanasan, no need na para pumunta ng Amerika, hihi! On a more serious note, I think the government’s initiative on this campaign is really good. Not only they’re teaching the local people to go green but they’re also teaching them to value money and resources. Papers can be recycled anytime, unlike plastics that takes millions of years before it dissolve. So if they can do it,...
Treating Homesickness Through Eating
I know it’s hard to be away from my family in the Philippines and I know it’s difficult to treat home sickness when all you want to do is be with them. Though it’s not easy to face the reality of an OFW’s hardships, I tend to treat myself in the most convenient ways, so that I won’t go insane thinking about home. Today as I prepare my baon, I thought of home once again. Sabi ko, kahit inde ko kasama ang pamilya ko ayos lang, ikakain ko na lang sila, kaya naman nagluto ako ng tuyo at scrambled eggs at nagdala ako ng Goldilock’s cake at Chippy sa school. This way, malayo man ako sa kanila, parang malapit na din. Ang hirap maging OFW ano? Pero ayos lang yan kasi pamilya mo naman ang iyong inspirasyon sa pag susumikap na...
Xiao Xiao
I have totally forgotten to blog about this restaurant that we went to last time. Along Monivong Blvd. there’s a small Chinese restaurant that serves delicious soft shell crabs so the whole family decided to try it for a change. Xiao Xiao is one of the famous Chinese restaurants here in the city, their food is good and the price is cheap. Beside Xiao Xiao is another Chinese resto which is known for it’s sumptuous garlic pork ribs and Khmer style seafood porridge. Both have their own unique menu suited for everyone’s food palette. When we arrived, the English speaking waiter attended us. However, I don’t find him so friendly when I asked him about the dishes. He seems to be in a hurry when I haven’t even browsed all the pages in the...
Daddy’s Kare-Kare
D addy Pong promised to learn to cook my favorite dishes until he perfects them and on my next birthday, he will be my official cook! woohoo! Now I would like to present to you his very first “major” dish since we got together, tadaaaah! Kare-Kare! He managed to cook it correctly and deliciously with very minimal supervision from me. I am so proud of my husband and will never tire to teach him something he wants to learn. This kare kare is super tasty and I bet other girls will get jealous to have their man cook something special like this. If you want to learn how to cook kare kare, please visit my cooking website for the recipe and directions. Tweet This...
Family Sojourn in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
M alaysia Truly Asia! That is how I am going to describe my family trip last 30 April-2 May. We have waited for almost a year since Boss Nick booked our tickets to Kuala Lumpur as a gift to the family and finally the long waiting is through. Together with Manang Lucre, Pong, Andrea, Aaron, and Aiken, we all packed our bags and headed to one of the first world countries in Asia. Knowing that we have very limited amount of time to stroll around the city, we decided to visit the places that will be fun and exciting for the kids. When we landed in Kuala Lumpur International Airport-LCCT, my cousin Taj Mahal was already waiting for us at Old Town Coffee Shop. It’s such a blessing to have someone we know in the city for we managed to save a lot of money...
Sihanoukville, A Perfect Destination for Beach Lovers in Cambodia
L ast weekend, all the staff and teachers at Cambodia International Academy were treated for a 2-day beach fun at Sihanoukville, the top notch beach destination in Cambodia. The trip started at 7:30 with a bumpy bus ride matching with ear splitting Khmer music which made most of the passengers delirious on the way. I felt actually sick within the first hour of the travel and I kept on praying to survive without puking in my place, well I guess you can imagine how I look all throughout the 4 hour ride. Arrived at 12 noon, we all headed immediately to our hotel rooms to place our bags and soon we went to the seaside for our lunch. Occheateal Beach is the best place for swimming and seafood. There are plenty of cottages for everyone to rent and food is not...
