Espresso Con Panna is described as a shot of espresso with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top. It’s as simple as that. Some people find it indulgent. I find it plain and boring. Therefore, I hope I don’t hurt anyone if I tweaked this classic hot drink by adding flavors to the cream
If you are ever in Singapore, Cereal Prawn is one of the must-order dishes. Both kids and adults love this because of the crispy and fragrant combo of savory and sweet. When I recreated this Singaporean prawn dish the first time, I felt in love instantly. There’s some kind of texture and flavors to this
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.

I’m a fan of Netflix’s Street Food TV Series. Well, actually, I watch almost all Netflix reality shows about food because as a foodie, I naturally enjoy learning about them.
