Food Art #1: Broccoli and Lemon Rinds

Whenever I would dine out, it has been my habit to always leave my plate not spotless but rather, interesting. I would often arrange my leftovers and plate it like how a chef would do. This practice was something I learned from Chikoy from way back when we went to get pizza and he started [...]

Mr. Burns

I have made myself believe that I am a gastronomic person and that I will be, all the time, willing to experience anything that is served on my plate. My tastebuds never fail me in appreciating not-your-ordinary finds. From the very common frogs to pricey ant eggs. Yes, I’ve survived them all and I embarked [...]

48H To 2012

2012 has been so-far-so-good. This is a very late post and though it is, here are my hours before 2012. 12/30/2011 – 9:00h Woke up from a good long sleep.

Afterwards, us four started our way [...]

Totoy (sa) Molo

During my brief stay at Iloilo, I took a quick segue to one of its familiar towns. Nowhere else but the home of the local meatball that we all love: Molo. But my visit did not mainly concern about food but rather the old church of Molo situated at the very heart of the district. [...]

Finding Dory

Parmesan-Crusted Fish  (image courtesy of Cookbook Kitchen) Perhaps everyone remembers that loony fish with a short-term memory gap swimming towards the Australian coast. Yes, that was Dory indeed. But hole-in-the-wall searching with my partner, Gani, led us to something that will make you forget your name when you bite into it. After playing Pocket Tanks [...]
