It was Black Friday and I was in New York City. And there's only one thing more I had to do before I call it a day, shopping!! After an early dinner at Eataly we took a cab straight to Uniqlo on 34th street.

Eataly, NYC

2012-02-09T00:00:00.000+08:00

The first on my list of "must go" places in New York was Eataly. As soon as we dropped off our bags at Residence Inn in Times Square and took a quick detour in Bryant Park we walked 17 blocks to Eataly. The mozarepa must have given us renewed energy to walk so far.

What would your kids say if they came home from school and you have hot, freshly baked bibingka for their merienda? They will probably think you bought it right? Well, now you can honestly say that you made it yourself.

Wild-Mushroom Bread Pudding

2012-02-01T00:00:00.000+08:00

I must admit my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal next to the turkey is the stuffing. A few years ago I made a whole Thanksgiving dinner in Manila complete with brined turkey and cornbread sausage stuffing. Needless to say it was a big success.

Aria Cucina Italiana

2012-01-18T00:00:00.000+08:00

The last time I went to Boracay several years ago I remember Aria Cucina Italiana was one of the restaurants we ate at. It's a good thing they now have a new branch at Bonifacio Global City so we don't have to go all the way to Boracay for good Italian food.

I love French pastries and I swore I wouldn't eat any since I was on a diet but La Boulange Bakery was right there in front of me. I was just going to Loehmann's in Sutter Street. How should I know that next door was a bakery filled with temptation.
