Due to the long winter we experienced, oh wait, still experiencing! in the Netherlands, soup was 'needed' in this household of mine..especially by this writer, an Asian who is used to the warmth of the sun that tummy always longs for something well, warm. :P This is one soup that became a favo

I was able to find Asian aubergines (that's how we call eggplants in Netherlands) from our local supermarket, 3 pieces. I like local aubergines only they're too big and (a bit) less tasty for this recipe. Asian aubergines are finer, smaller in size and packed with taste! Perfect size for this Rellen

Unlike my husband, I like spaghetti carbonara. The best carbonara that I've ever tasted was Sofitel Hotel's (now called Centara Hotel) in Hua-Hin, Thailand. I worked there for more than 2 years in the past that's why I can say I was an expert of their carbonara :)
Anyway, I only attempted to co

Christmas Eve dinner was easy last year. Easy or I should say easier because I only prepared a 3-meal course rather than the usual 5. This is what we had for the 2nd course (main).
I was lucky enough to have found a 4-piece pack of beautiful Argentine beef for this Gordon Ramsey recipe. Got i

A simple side dish I prepared on Christmas eve dinner. It's just a dinner for two that's why I opted for a 3-course meal. Along with this potato we had steak (will soon be posted) that went well with this simple preparation.
I boiled young potato with skin intact until half cooked, set them a

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! MAY 2010 BRING US HAPPINESS AND GOOD HEALTH, CHEERS!
It's January 1st and I thought I should start the year right by updating my foodblog. It's not a joke maintaining 6 blogs (each serving a purpose) but I must not complain because all 6 are my babies.
Alright, let

I had to think of my maternal grandmother whenever I see mussels. I guess because when I was young, I found mussels or tahong as how we call it in Tagalog, a bit 'scary' because of its almost black shells. Scary and yet I always found my grandma's simple mussels soup (Tinolang Tahong, key soup ingre

Alright, let me share with you a side dish I made for our Christmas eve 2009 dinner (for 2). I made a 3-course dinner but decided not to post all at once. I found the recipe for this online 2 days before I was to

I know that I haven't been updating but I have good reasons.
Not much cooking is happening in my kitchen lately. That's the main reason. Secondly, I'm back in school and quite serious about it. I hope to be finished though within a year and come back to regular blogging. No, this blog isn't going on hiatus. I will try to blog whenever time permits.
For now, I send you greetings from Holland.

Have you ever heard of 'singing bowls'? No? Well, you might have (must have forgotten only) since these singing bowls are widely becoming popular amongst those who have experienced the bowls soothing sounds. (Health) practitioners use them, healers, spas, or even for (private) personal use and even amongst travelers who have seen them in places like Tibet - these singing bowls they can't do without from the first time they used them. Crystal Singing Bowls, is just one of the many bowls which yo

I guess because when I was young, I found mussels or tahong as how we call it in Tagalog, a bit 'scary' because of its almost black shells. Scary and yet I always found my grandma's simple mussels soup (Tinolang Tahong, key soup ingredient is ginger) really good. Well, everything that my grandma made was good :)
Anyhow, ginger is overpowering in taste, according to my husband...so I am careful when using the root, and would nev

Nobody wants to be sick. But unfortunately, fallen sick do happen to the most of us. And when that happens we turn to the professionals who we expect to make us feel better. Sometimes that happens in short time, sometimes not. Good thing though that science is quite advance these days (can you imagine how our forefathers suffered in pain? imagine no painkiller to take their pain away?) so whether serious or not so serious condition, we receive treatment from the professionals. At times we even

Some serious updates!
I've been away for quite sometime now, I know. It's just that there hasn't been much action in my kitchen the past weeks, read: NO NEW RECIPES because my husband's been asking for the same meal over and over again. And I do not want to repost recipes I have already posted.
But I promise to do updates as soon as I get the chance. Hope all's been well with you all...all my 2 visitors :D
