Spaghetti alla Puttanesca – whore’s style spaghetti
Puttanesca….. where does this name came from…. Hmmm…na intriga ako kaya I made some research and found out some stories about this pasta sauce…. It has been told that Pasta Puttanesca invented and made by prostitutes, it is said that pasta puttanesca was designed to lure customers with its aroma. Other explanations have more appeal [...]

Nostalgic
When I was in Melbourne for 6 weeks, I had this favorite Malaysian/Singaporean resto which taught me how to love laksa. Their laksa is the best. So when I come back here, I started to miss that resto. I have tried singaporean restos here in Manila but it didn’t satisty my taste. Then my officemate Grei, invited [...]

Say Cheese
I still have quezo de bola inside my fridge from last Christmas. So I’ve been adding it a lot in most of my weekend cooking like caldereta, pasta and pies.

Dinner last Night
It was a vegetable kind of day – and I end up cooking gising gising for dinner. I first tried this at Cafe Metro some years ago and really fell inlove with it. Since then, I learned the dish and cooked it often at home. Gising gising is an easy-peasy dish, no special cooking skills needed. [...]
