After years of stay in Japan, I’ve come to love and now, long for Japanese food. Singapore is flooded with Japanese restaurants, mostly sushi bars but so far, none came close to how “real” sushi should taste like. Well, I should not expect much from the budget that I usually dish out. Aside from sushi, [...]
These hawker centers (food courts) here in Singapore is flooded with Chinese cuisines. I terribly miss Japanese food and all those restaurants that serve pasta! Despite its close resemblance to Chinese food, I also terribly miss Filipino dishes. Yet, in our company’s big events like the last one we had last May, these dishes were [...]
I love seafood, especially shrimp! However, we cannot eat shrimp at home because my mother is strongly allergic to it. Well, I am allergic to shrimp, too. It makes me feel itchy all over after a few hours of eating. When I moved to Singapore, I was really delighted because I find it cheaper even [...]
When you order fruit salad in the Philippines, you’ll wonder where the fruits are because everything is covered with milk and cream. But in Japan and Singapore, they just put in sliced fruits. I don’t really like it much because like in the photo above, I just eat the orange and watermelon slices. Non-Pinoy style [...]
I strongly agree that Singapore is a “food paradise”. That’s why I’m not surprised to find restaurants offering Korean dishes. I love kimchi but bibimbap had always intrigued me. 10SGD is quite reasonable so I tried it. It was good, but I’m pretty sure the ones in Korea taste a lot better.
Years ago, I loved chocolate cakes. But some reasons that I’m not aware of, I fell “out of love” with chocolates after I gave birth to Shaynna. That’s one one less source of extra calories. But, when I moved to a place where cheesecake is abundant, such as Japan, then I found my new addiction. [...]
One of the Filipinos in the company I’m working for got promoted. He was so kind to share his blessings with us that he treated us to lunch at Earl Swensens in Changi Airport Terminal 3. Rare occasion such as this one makes me postpone once again my plans to losing weight. But even if [...]
There was a company trip to Hongkong 2 weeks ago but I prefered to stay in Singapore. Why? Because I still had to pay SGD400++. Company subsidy became lower as the number of participants increased. Plus, the trip could eat up two days of my annual leaves. Anyway, when some of my friends came back, [...]
This came from an officemate who was sent by the company to Mexico. It’s chocolate with Jose Cuervo. I’m not fan of spirits but I love the wrapper!
My family encountered a tough time when I was still a child. My father was finishing college at that time while supporting a wife, three kids, two siblings-in-law and a step-mother. We rarely had red meat dishes on the table. Most of the time, we had herring either fried or grilled for lunch and dinner, [...]
Makansutra Gluttons Bay. Some just call it Makansutra, most people call it Gluttons Bay. It is basically one of the great places in Singapore where you could be a glutton! Not only because of the delicious food they offer, but the price is acceptable even for someone like me. The place made me feel [...]
I love coffee! I always start the day with a mug of coffee. While I was still in Japan, I had to visit coffee shops on weekends for English sessions. On weekdays, I always had canned coffee. Since I arrived here, I’ve only settled for instant coffee. The vending machine at the office has canned [...]
