Last week, my mom gave me a board of charcuterie for my birthday. She knows how I love it. She knows that I’ll be able to finish a big box all by myself. That’s how I love cured meats and cheese. On its last day, when the cured meat slices were gone, I decided to

When we traveled to Sydney for our nine-day vacay, I purposely chose a flight that has a long layover to another country so we can hit two birds with one stone. I found out that Scoot Airlines provides flights from Manila to Sydney, which has a layover at Singapore for almost a day. I didn’t

I’m creating Fairy Bread,!but make it Christmas! I know, I know! The classic version calls for sprinkles or hundreds and thousands, but since the holidays are upon us, I thought, why not switch things up?

Sardines was introduced to me as a canned fish either in tomato sauce or olive oil. When we hear of sardines, we initially think of the ones in cans instead of the fresh ones because it’s a fish that we don’t usually buy from the wet market and cook it at home. It’s a fish

For our Sydney tour last week, we decided to add SEA LIFE Aquarium Sydney and Sydney Tower Eye on our itinerary since it would be my boyfriend’s first time to visit a public aquarium and it would be an amazing experience to see Sydney Central Business District at a bird’s eye view. As I was

As I continued to watch Netflix’s Somebody Feed Phil and streamed the “Helsinki” episode, I discovered another gem that, I think, I should cook and eat at home. I found out that Finland and other Nordic countries have this amazing soup called Lohikeitto. It’s made with salmon chunks, carrots and potatoes. It’s guaranteed to warm

When you see the city of Sydney on the map, you’ll see that its land is surrounded by branches of water.
