Biscocho is a famous Filipino butter sugar toast of biscuit, that we can see in pasalubong shops. The termbiscocho is derived from Spanish bizcocho. However, they are not the same pastries.

If I would have to choose which tourist spot in Bali I enjoyed the most, that would definitely be White Rock Beach Club in Melasti Beach.

I’m gonna tweak the usual a bit by making a parfait. Why does it matter? What’s the difference anyway? Actually, the taste is just similar

In the Philippines, there are numerous barbecue grill stands scattered in every street corner. In the afternoon, people would flock to buy barbecue, which is popular local street food.

Arancini – a rice or risotto formed into balls and deep-fried into croquette. I never heard of Arancini until I discovered it on Netflix’s Best Leftovers Ever! when a contestant tried to transform leftover rice to Arancini.
