Balai Pandesal

While I believe in the scripture that says man cannot live on bread alone, I also believe that there are people who cannot last a day without bread. I am guilty as charged. Despite being born and raised in a culture with great appreciation for rice, I am a bread believer – and a firm one at that.

And if we are going to play with this context without disregarding the fact that I am a Filipino after all, I supposed we must focus the highlight on pandesal and the store that sells that awesome bread I was introduced to recently, Balai Pandesal.

Delicious, dense, and downright delightful – these are the things that for me comprise an awesome pandesal. And Balai Pandesal is doing such a great job in delivering that kind of pandesal which I love.

Organic SiLog Meals and More Healthy Eats at Be Well All Natural & Organics Grocery

Organic SiLog Meals, Healthy Snacks, and Natural Drinks - these are some of the new offerings at Be Well All Natural and Organics Grocery Store in Antipolo City. Recent visit led me to this wonderful discovery that this ever reliable organic store has added a mini snack bar in its premise.

I have already blogged about Be Well way back and to this day, they are still the only grocery store that sells organic and all natural food which I can truly vouch for.

Now that they have included some ready-to-eat meals, and an organic and healthy one at that - it gives more reason to visit the place more frequently.

Celebrate with Danes Cheese Ball, the Creamy Cheese Ball

Christmas season is upon us and I am pretty sure that most of us are already thinking and searching for new dishes for Noche Buena celebration. I have already prepared my list of dishes to cook. It has been a tradition in our family to cook 12 different dishes every Christmas to represent the prosperity we all hope to have on the next 12 months of the coming year.

Rule of thumb is, everyone in the family who is knowledgeable enough in the kitchen must have a dish of their own to prepare and it should be something new or with added twist.  So our family is pretty much enthusiastic when it comes to coming up with exciting dishes.

Last year, I went crazy over chestnut that I created a 3-course menu with chestnut as the main ingredient of the dishes. Now for Christmas 2015, I am putting my trust to our traditional Cheese Ball. And my secret is the ever reliable Danes Cheese Ball!
