How I Make Banana Cake Pops

The family totally liked the Banana Muffins I made last time so with the remaining bananas that I left in freezer, I made banana bread through another unique way. Since some kids will visit the house later, I thought of making cake pops. There isn’t much difference to the recipe actually except that the muffins

Warmth And Comfort Of Home At Cafe Agapita

My husband and I agreed on having Cafe Agapita as our comfort cafe in Silang because it suits both of our interests. I’m a foodie who loves cozy, homey coffee shops, while my husband is a big bike enthusiast. Cafe Agapita caters to both of us with its cabin-like facade and interior and by being

How I Make Chicken Salad Open Sandwich

A chicken salad is so versatile that you can add any dressing you prefer and any greens and vegetables you want and it will still taste amazing. In this version, I’d like to put it in bite-sized snack and serve it on toasted bread. It’s an open sandwich that is not difficult to make and

Texas Roadhouse is an American steakhouse chain that specializes in steaks with a Texan and Southwestern flair.

How I Make Soy Crabs

One of the dishes that amazed me, once again, in Netflix’s Street Food: Asia is the Soy Marinated Raw Crabs of South Korea. I didn’t know that raw seafood is also prevalent in Korea because I only knew sashimi of Japan. My knowledge on Korean cuisine is also limited to the most familiar ones such

Strawberry Sandos

Last 2021, I introduced Ane Venture’s first product, which is Strawberry Milk. For four years, every summer, I’ve been making bottled Strawberry Milk to sell online. I’m happy that even after the pandemic, which is the hype season of Strawberry Milk, my product is still a hit to customers. But since I’m buying plenty of

How I Make Japanese Cucumber Salad

One of my family’s favorite way of eating cucumber is by turning it into salad, or into Ensaladang Pipino, as we call it. It’s merely composed of sliced cucumber soaked in vinaigrette. I actually wonder why it is so underrated, when, in fact, it can line up with other local salads like Fruit Salad, Buko
