This isn't an old photo but freshly shot just a few hours ago.
They were meant as 'extras' for my Christmas dinner dessert last December. But unfotunately I was not able to use them because when it was time to serve my dessert (Bailey's Tiramisu) I was already tired to do plate presentation. First and second courses took much of my time and so we just went straight devouring our dessert.
This is for La.Pi.S. This weekend's theme is Chocolate.
I hope this is okay, Ces?

Old photos taken back in 2007, I know! I searched high and low for the originals but I'm afraid they were in my laptop that has gone kaput on me *sigh* 'Glad I was able to upload them on flickr account. I chose this because it was an experiment went wild! *tee hee* My husband, father in law and Dutch friends really liked this, even said to me that they have never tasted something like this before...ehemm...para tocino lang naman ito na may twist.
Tocino is one Pinoy viand my husband likes, a

It was in 2006 when I bought a few pieces of this square designed plate. 3 pcs for main course and 3 also for dessert. Odd number isn't it? Because there are only 3 people in this small family of ours and I wasn't really thinking of friends coming over for dinner when I bought them, but only of my family. So I seldom use them when I have to cook for a bigger group. Also to be honest, I find the design a bit too busy for Asian food which I often make.
Sorry for showing this to you empty. I

One would picture a stylish clad dinner atmosphere upon hearing 'fine dining'. But as Ces puts it: It is subjective as they say, depending on personal taste and can be guided by the quality of food, service and atmosphere. Fine dining for us (husband and I) means only one thing: food. We would sit down and eat even at the market as long as the food served meet our demanding palates.
However you will not find us eating at the market in this post but rather a fine dining we experienced a

It's been few weeks since I last joined La.Pi.S. It's because I wasn't doing any 'serious' cooking and so my kitchen wasn't producing much either. Not cooking= no photos :P But for this Sunday's theme, I have no reason not to join. Oh wait, there is! I actually do not have decent (clean and presentable) photos of my kitchen! All photos were in my old laptop which has gone kaput on me several months ago. That's why this is what you see here, something I made using picturetraildotcome. I couldn't

Manila Bulletin: If your blog was a kind of food, what would it be?
Me: That'll be Pad Thai (Thai fried noodles)
- that was my answer when interviewed together with other foodbloggers back in 2005 by Ajay for Manila Bulletin. And that would still be my answer if asked again. Because I love love love pad thai.
My affair with pad thai all began back in 2003 when I worked for Sofitel Hotel (Hua Hin, Thailand.) During night offs, instead of eating (for free) in the hotel's restaurants (I was all

I seldom steam I must admit. I would only remember my metal steamer if I see an easy recipe that calls for steaming. There you see the evidence. I am not good at steaming *lol*
This was from an old post, it's called PUTOPAO. During our vacation in the Philippines last year, my sister made us ( my husband, me and an aunt who were all balikbayans) a bunch for our little despedida (send away) party. My sister's putopao was beyond good, it was fantastic! That upon reaching Holland I immediately
