Jose Cuervo in a wrapper

This came from an officemate who was sent by the company to Mexico. It’s chocolate with Jose Cuervo. I’m not fan of spirits but I love the wrapper!

My family encountered a tough time when I was still a child. My father was finishing college at that time while supporting a wife, three kids, two siblings-in-law and a step-mother. We rarely had red meat dishes on the table. Most of the time, we had herring either fried or grilled for […]

Makansutra Gluttons Bay. Some just call it Makansutra, most people call it Gluttons Bay. It is basically one of the great places in Singapore where you could be a glutton! Not only because of the delicious food they offer, but the price is acceptable even for someone like me. ;) The place made me […]

I love coffee! I always start the day with a mug of coffee. While I was still in Japan, I had to visit coffee shops on weekends for English sessions. On weekdays, I always had canned coffee. Since I arrived here, I’ve only settled for instant coffee. The vending machine at the […]

Before leaving Japan, I had chances of eating one of my favorites especially during cold seasons: nabe. I love putting meat into the pot but I love tofu most. I thought there’s nothing like that here in Singapore, considering that this is a tropical country. I went out with colleagues […]

I have noticed a Japanese restaurant somewhere in Vivocity during my first visit. That miniature of an okonomiyaki seemed to haunt me. I couldn’t stop thinking how it tastes so when I met up with friends last weekend, I suggested to go there for lunch. Okonomiyaki is one of my favorite Japanese […]

I miss the “real” Japan taste, so I was ecstatic when I received a flyer about the Hokkaido Fair at the Tampines Mall from July 3 to 12. I dropped by last weekend and the venue was crowded.
The usual comment that I heard from the customers? “It’s not so cheap.” If you’re […]
Japan taste… almost

More than two months of stay here and I still keep on babbling about Japan. One of the things I miss most is food. I miss even those food that I can possibly cook, like the tonkatsu (deep-fried breaded pork) and tempura (deep-fried breaded shrimp). Most of all, I miss sushi and […]

While browsing through my photos, I saw this…
I think this was the last ramen set meal I ate before I bid sayonara to Japan. I am not really crazy over ramen. I only crave for it during cold season and almost avoid it during summer. But looking at it now, I hope I […]

Let me give you a short recap. Valentine’s Day here in Japan is a lucky day for the guys. They receive chocolates from the ladies, some of which are just “obligatory” chocolates, some are expressions of love. “Obligatory” chocolates are just those generic chocolates and are usually given without special wrapper. […]

Two Japanese friends and I were 100% sure that there were still layers of cakes available near the counter as we entered the cafe. I’ve been obsessed with cheese cake lately so I was really thrilled to see that only a slice was taken from it. But when the waitress took our orders, […]

I have always been amazed by the displays at restaurants here so I always take loads of photos. They look so real that they could make your mouth water…

Our orders from that Filipino store in Tokyo arrived this afternoon. Just a glimpse of what I bought:
Yes, I also got a bottle of Sukang Pinakurat from Iligan City!
I guess I’ll be having canned goods feast in the next few days.

I just want to share what I had for dinner…
Yes, an all-time Filipino favorite and my most prized food bought from a Filipino store in Tokyo: spicy longganisa! Because of this store, I’m pretty sure I will have a hard time controlling my appetite.

I’ve been extremely lazy busy these past few days that I wasn’t able to post something about my birthday. Yes, I turned a year older last week. It’s the 11th birthday I’ve spent away from home since 1998 and the 3rd one since coming here. I miss going to church on my […]

I was in a hurry this morning so all I had for breakfast and lunch were these:
I wish there’s a Wendy’s near my apartment. This bacon cheese burger of Lotteria is sooo small (only about 4 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches thick) but it costs four times more than the 99-yen BBQ and […]
