February 2022 highlights
I love February. It is no longer as cold as January and we actually have signs of life coming up. For me in particular, my oxalis plants always signal the start of spring as they always sprout in this month. And for sure, this year’s...
Broccoli cheese soup – a rainy day saviour
Some crazy summer we are having in Budapest right now! Saturday was awesome because it was warm and sunny, so we headed out to Orczy tér for some badminton and Frisbee. Then on Sunday, it freaking rained ice! We almost didn’t make it to Barako...
Food Discoveries in Budapest during COVID-19 Lockdown (part 2)
Note: Continued from Part 1. 6. Yamato Restaurant We didn’t really order a lot from them, just our favorite curry with karaage. Excellent! I read somewhere that Yamato is part of the Wasabi Restaurant family, so their website feels just like Wasabi when you are...
Food Discoveries in Budapest during COVID-19 Lockdown
Slowly, life is getting back to its pre-COVID state in Budapest. My boyfriend even returned to work in his office (I haven’t yet!!). Businesses have resumed their usual hours and restaurants have finally opened their indoor dining spaces too. At the start of the lockdown,...
Saturdays are fluffy pancakes day
When I was a kid, I treated pancakes as kind of luxurious breakfast that we could only have once in a while. The ones my mother made were from a box; I really thought it was a pain to make pancake mix from scratch because...
Champorado cravings satisfied!
Spring is finally here! The past week was very sunny, and the weather was quite pleasant – hovering around 20 degrees, just the way I like it. But this week, we are back to cloudy days, and it’s been a bit chilly. And on days...
Filipino beef tapa recipe
One quick effect of moving to Budapest: I lost quite a bit of weight. No exercise. How? No Filipino food! I was cut off instantly from my ultimate favorites: sinigang, kaldereta, Bicol express, adobo, tapa, tocino. In Budapest, there is no Jollibee, Max’s or Mary...
Salted egg pasta recipe
Yesterday, I took the day off from work because of a very bad headache. It was a hellish commute home on Tuesday night because of the downpour. “Carmageddon” on EDSA and…basically everywhere. I live in Taguig, a mere 3.4 km away from my workplace and...
Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta – at home!
I started teaching a new class today and boy, was I tired! I took a nap as soon as I got home, and when I woke up at 7-ish, I was famished. I realized I haven’t eaten anything substantial the entire day. Let’s see…I had...
Herbed rice recipe
The very first time Sheila and Mara (and Zoe!) visited my house, we went to this chicken restaurant called Wingman. It is fairly near my place and I’ve been meaning to go but never got the chance until they came. I ordered their original wings...
Simple lemon yakult
I’ve loved Yakult since I was a kid. There’s just something in that sweet-sour milky drink that makes me just want to chug it down. Sometimes, I wish we had Yakult in bigger sizes, like a liter. Or if not, at least like those you...
