Making Beef Pepper Rice Ala Pepper Lunch!

Earlier this year I was on a roll with my recipes. I may not have been updating the blog as much as I was updating my other social media sites, and my excuse is Tiktok lol. It's just so easy to consume media on Tiktok for someone who has short attention span. I mean, it's the perfect formula--people stuck at home in the...

Kitchen Chronicles : Chicken Teriyaki

Since COVID happened, we've all been too reliant on food deliveries and I can't blame y'all because it's the closest thing we have to dining outside or at least having a taste of the cuisine we used to enjoy when we freely can roam outside without our face masks. But if I'm being honest, food deliveries can also get quite pricey, not to...

Ginisang Ampalaya Without The Bitter Taste!

I had vivid memories of hating vegetables as a child. Not just vegetables but eating in general. I've tried so many tricks on my mom when I was younger just so she'd think I actually consumed my food. I would push my rice around the plate just to make it appear like I've eaten some of the food on my plate, I'd throw...

Kitchen Chronicles : Kapampangan Sipo Egg

Hey, everyone. For today's recipe I thought I'd share something quick and simple but equally good! Lately work's been a little crazy so I haven't had my relaxed time to prepare my meals. Anyway, we all know how the pandemic has ruined a lot of things for us, and for me particularly, it's social events. I don't know about you but fiesta is...

Kitchen Chronicles : 10-minute Beef Gyudon

I've been seeing quite a number of people complaining about blogs that include personal stories in each post. One friend posted, "I just want a recipe, I don't want to hear about your childhood". And for some reason, that struck a nerve. I know blogs are supposed to be informational, but they're personal spaces first and foremost. I think the author putting in...

10-minute Easy Filipino Carbonara!

Hey, everyone! How are y'all doing? It's day 16 of my lockdown because I've been working from home long before the announced lockdown since I'm a little paranoid about viruses. So these days have been pretty bleak and depressing, mentally. I've been telling myself my next project when all this is over is that I'll fill my place with plants. Being stuck in...

How is everyone doing? I'm trying to just keep my head in the air and take care of my mental health while we all go through this lockdown. To be honest I haven't been in my productive mode for the entire week because I just can't imagine having so much output given everything that's happening outside. I usually spend my day watching the...

I know I haven't been sharing any recipes in the past months but today I'm super thrilled to be going back to the kitchen to share with you one of my recent discoveries. Since I love food it's no surprise I'm a member of the Facebook group 'What's your ulam, pare?'. It's pretty much  just a community of foodies sharing restaurant discoveries or...

Easy Vietnamese Spring Rolls

On today's video I'll be sharing a super simple recipe I've been doing ever since I had my first taste of Vietnamese food at Pho Hoa. I had my first bout with Vietnamese Spring Rolls a few years ago when I bought my first ever GoPro in Greenhills. At that time, I've been wanting to try Pho but was scared with all the...

Kitchen Chronicles : Easy Banana Smoothie

Ever since I quit smoking, I've gained a tremendous amount of weight. I would momentarily try to shed some of it off but for some reason, my diets and detoxes aren't as effective compared to when I was smoking. Not sure if nicotine plays a huge role in weight loss or it's just my body slowing its metabolism down. Eitherway, from 45kgs, I'm...

Aside from Japanese food, one other cuisine that I'm pretty much obsessed with is Korean food! I mean who's not obsessed with Samgyeupsal? It's on the verge of replacing Adobo as our national dish, loljk. But seriously, Korean food is soooo good! Their instant noodles are also to die for! While not necessarily healthy, I indulge in it once in a while. Which...

Kitchen Chronicles : Beef Bulgogi

Bulgogi, literally "fire meat", is a gui (Korean-style grilled or roasted dish) made of thin, marinated slices of beef or pork grilled on a barbecue or on a stove-top griddle. It is also often stir-fried in a pan in home cooking. Sirloin, rib eye or brisket are frequently used cuts of beef for the dish. The dish originated from the north area of...

Kitchen Chronicles : Ginataang Labong with Saluyot

I didn't always like vegetables. I think I also said the exact same thing on my previous recipe, lol! I vividly remember the days where I'd do frail attempts in trying to ~look~ like I actually touched my vegetables orrrr return them to the pot when my Mom wasn't looking. I don't know why I had so much aversion for something so good...
