For those with a sweet tooth, there’s a new dessert hub in San Juan City that’s making a big buzz lately.
Sinfully would satisfy your cravings for dessert. The aroma of chocolates wafting from the store is enough to make a chocoholic’s heart skip.
Happy New Year to all! The holidays as usual brought about a lot of food-swapping. Food is always a highly appreciated gift in any household, most especially mine. Way before the season started, I was already on my exercise mode in anticipation of the influx of parties and Christmas goodies. And like every year, the intake outweighed the exercise. So once again, my new year’s resolution will be to exercise more and eat less.
So, this is the way piaya is done, I told myself as I watched students take flour, lard, salt and water, and knead those to become the crust. Included was more lard and flour, a mix the recipe indicated as polvoron that was added as well to the kneading.

The Christmas rush was especially frantic this year; but the holiday cheer was overshadowed by the flood disasters in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan. The silver lining in all of this is that the spirit of Christmas has been restored: People rush to the aid of their fellowmen, putting to work the spirit of generosity and charity of Christmas.
It’s a merry season, so eat to your heart’s desire. Enjoy some holiday indulgences. For two days we escaped the tedious preparations at home and set off to a high-end restaurant and renewed past pleasures at a reliable Italian eatery.
The wines with which to toast the New Year are lined up before me. Each has a story to tell, stories that have been waiting to be told here.
Two of my biggest Christmas discoveries are Chipi Davila’s Vanilla Tea Cake and Mida Food’s Smoked Salmon.
