Bouquet de Bonbons: Finally, REAL fruit candy

Friday, January 30th, 2009

In this fast-paced era where everything is mass-produced and done with machines and assembly lines, it’s refreshing to encounter products that are still made lovingly and painstakingly by hand. That’s why I was so excited about getting the chance to try Bonbons Barnier.

Lasang Pinoy Sundays: Potato Salad from Leftovers

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

This week’s Lasang Pinoy Sundays theme is Leftovers. It’s a theme I’m very familiar with since I’m used to rehashing old dishes in the fridge. Either by reheating or by reinventing leftovers into something new, it’s always something that’s present in our home.

LaPiS 2: Desserts – Vargas Kitchen Butter Cake

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

LP25: Adobo Flakes & Daing Bento

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Lasang Pinoy 25When you say Filipino food, one of the first dishes to come up is Adobo. For non-Filipinos, it seems to be the one dish that is synonymous with Filipino food. And why not? With its tempting salty-tangy flavor, it’s not a dish that’s easy to dislike, no matter what flavors your palate is used to. So it’s only proper to include an adobo-centric bento for Lasang Pinoy’s Make your Own Bento challenge, right?
