Pastry Dessert Board Planning for Christmas

OMG!  OMG!

Christmas is around the bend and our home is a complete mess!

Are you like me or are you the type of mom who had everything planned out well?  

Another thing I want to raise up is the one problem with Christmas that many of us have - keeping everyone happy as if trying to achieve the impossible.  Of course, when one becomes a parent, the children have been the focus. Every Christmas, you always think of what to gift the kids with, and what they want to wear for their Christmas parties plus what they will give to their teaches and classmates.  It's the season of giving after all so let's not be fussy about that.

Black Sheep Coffee in MOA

Was instantly drawn to this cafe when I was checking the internet for a new coffee place near our place.  After buying a new charm for my Pandora bracelet, husband-approved and paid for, we made sure to visit this place and try out of course their coffee. 

Seaking Marks 20th Anniversary with Wild Alaskan Keta Salmon Line

Such an awe-inspiring event the 20th Anniversary of Seaking was.  I thought I came for the Salmon dishes but ended up getting lessons and life inspiration from the Uy family.  The celebration started with a teary message from Jennifer Uy-Ampon telling stories of how she and her siblings would help their parents with their Bangus-selling business by deboning the fish in the house they grew up with.

Armed with only a small-startup capital, the Seaking brand was literally built by their own hands. Through their hard work, resilience, and determination, Seaking has become an industry leader and a household name.  It was my choice of frozen deboned Bangus brand.

Three-sisters and a brother, kinda looks like my family, plus a 6 month-old baby.  That's keeping my hopes up as my kids don't care a bit about our business.  As I was looking at them on the stage, greeting us guests, I was praying, I wish someday my kids would grow up to be as successful as them, working hand in hand to sustain and manage the family business.  But I hope it wouldn't take 20 years for me to see that.

“As the great Walt Disney said, all our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. We intend to continue delivering quality products and through our passion, we have not only captured the hearts of the Filipinos but their trust and confidence in the Seaking brand,” Jennifer Uy Ampon shares.

How can you not trust her words!...

Makati Shangri-la Hotel was shaken with an assemblage of media, family, friends and business partners as Superb Catch Inc., the company behind trusted seafood brand Seaking celebrated its 20th anniversary last Nov. 8, 2019.  To say it was a blast was an understatement as each guest was up on their feet, all excited to get their names called for the outrageously good prizes for the raffle.

What made Seaking, a king in the industry is how they ensure the highest product standards of their products.

Seaking has continuously adhered to the following principles:

1. Fresh frozen seafood
2. Strict production process
3. International food standard approved operation

It starts off with the fish carefully selected, deboned, marinated/smoked, packed/labeled, and vacuum sealed. They follow a first in, first out policy so the fish is always fresh.

What started as a frozen milkfish business has developed into a full-blown seafood line which includes Cream Dory, Squid, Bottled Bangus, and their newest offering -- their Wild Alaskan Keta Salmon line.

At the celebration, we were introduced to their newest line of products - the best and healthiest type of salmon all the way from Alaska, Wild Alaskan Keta Salmon.  Three gourmet salmon dishes were paraded and were served to the guests.

Farmed salmon are grown in crowded fish pens and sea cages. They are fed pellets made with chemicals and are considered genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Wild salmon are born in rivers and spend their adult lives in the ocean. They feed on fresh shrimp, crab, and krill. Wild Alaskan Keta Salmon is one of the best sources of seafood protein and naturally occurring Omega 3. Omega 3 can help improve heart health, enhance the immune system, and even reduce the risk of diabetes. Seaking offers four (4) cuts of Wild Alaskan Keta Salmon: Chunks, Belly, Steak, and Slab. Seaking is the first wild salmon retailer in the Philippines.

Seaking products can be found in more than 1,500 supermarkets, restaurants, and hotel chains in the Philippines. Their products are also exported to countries like Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and USA among others. From a home-based operation back in 1999, Seaking has grown to encompass a 20,000sqm processing plant which will be fully operational in January 2020.

When my husband and I finally decided to enlarge our foodie territory, we had Taiwan already in mind and the next thing we knew is flying our tastebuds off to the land of snacks.  However, what was so funny was that we were unable to have milk teas and chicken.  But we opted not to sigh about it as we tasted the very best oolong teas and tons of famous food in the country, we visited three night markets and scoured the alleys of Jiufen.

#SeaKingPH Salmon in Garlic and Lemon

In this article, I will need to be honest with some facts, first, I really didn't know there are different species of salmon that are being caught in the wild.  I love eating fish, whatever kind it is, but I'm in heaven if what I have in my plate is salmon.  I wasn't so particular in the kind of salmon that I've consumed, salmon are either caught in the wild or farmed, not until I knew of SeaKing PH, so, that's my second revelation and I will tell you why.

Tenya TEN Card, For an Absolute Tempura Tendon Steal

For almost five years already, Tenya has given all Filipinos the chance to experience Japan's #1 Tempura Tendon and have been become a favorite from among foodies and gourmands alike.  No wonder they have grown bigger with nine branches nationwide.  If you're still unacquainted with this brand, Tenya offers its signature deep-fried battered seafood, meat and vegetables laid over a bed of steaming Japanese rice and drizzled with their special dontare sauce.  It has since then given everyone a reason to indulge in Japanese cuisine.

Singaporean Breakfast Culture at Nanyang

A traveler once said that one of the most authentic views of the Singapore as a city is always at a kopitiam (also kopi tiam), an old-school coffee shop that dots almost every neighborhood in the country, serving up cheap breakfasts, coffee and, later in the day, tea and simple meals.

This makes me really excited to plan a trip to SG as I haven't been there yet and dying to do so.  My husband who's quite familiar with SG business ethics also knows a thing or two about their food culture, especially their breakfast or brunch, being an important meal to start a working day.  As early as 8 am, kopi tiams would steadily thicken with morning crowd waiting to be served with coffees, saucers of watery soft-boiled eggs and crisp slices of toast slathered with thick yellow butter and kaya, an eggy coconut jam - which according to his Singaporean colleague as a perfect kopitiam.

More Fun, Food at the 6th Edition of PHL Harvest

Calling all foodies and gastronomes, the Philippine Harvest just got bigger and better!

Now on its 6^th edition, the three-day food and agri-trade fair boasts of a wide selection of products and produce that will surely be a delight to the palate. A joint project of the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the SSI Group, Inc., the Philippine Harvest features sustainable farm tourism products.

“Conventionally, our cities and provinces become known because of their tourist destinations. But through the Philippine Harvest, we hope to show our travelers that artisanal products, organic produce, and even the farmers who   produced these indigenous products can add prestige to these destinations.  This goes hand in hand with our advocacy   of promoting responsible and sustainable tourism,” enthused DOT Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat.

Some 50 exhibitors will be featured in this edition with products ranging from assorted vegan desserts, coffee, “taho”, wild forest honey, artisanal cheese, crunchy garlic, meat and fish products and even salted egg, among others.

Locally produced materials such as handbags, health/beauty products and bamboo “utensils will also be available.

"This will be a perfect opportunity to showcase the distinct flavors of the Philippines all in one place for three delectable days. And I hope that this quarterly feature will bring Philippine culinary tourism much closer to our people’s attention," Romulo-Puyat added.

The Philippine Harvest is open to the public free-of-charge from August 30 to September 1, 2019 (Friday to Sunday) from 11 AM to 10 PM at the Central Square in Bonifacio Global City.

Lumpia Cooking Made Special with Jolly Claro

When it comes to frying, I take scrupulous care in the kind of oil I use.  For one, most commercial oils are derived from a lot of processing and at times are laden with Omega-6 fatty acid. Too much omega-6 fatty acids can cause inflammation, clogged arteries, heart disease and an increased risk of cancer.  So I make sure that the cooking oil I use has the right balance between Omega 6 and Omega 3.  Omega-3s, on the other hand, are essential fatty acids that play important roles in your body and may provide a number of health benefits.

Resorts World Manila Marks First Decade with Everything Grand

Last night, together with many other guests, I have experienced a grand spectacle of treats announced for Resorts World enthusiasts and clients. Considering how fast they have expanded, there's no reqson why we can't get excited.

We took some time to look back in 2009, were we, Filipinos, experienced a new kind of thrill as Resorts World Manila (RWM) introduced the new concept of integrated resorts in the country. This August, RWM marks its first decade milestone in the industry with a grand celebration across all its world-class segments.  It was attended by the top officials of the different hotels that make up RWM community, media and other VIP's were also amongst the crowd.

Instant Pot Monggo Curry

Our family loves curry dishes, in all sorts, may it be Japanese, Filipino style or the strong and pungent Indian type.  That said we also love beans of all sorts, lentils, white and black kidney beans and of course mongo or "munggo" in Filiipino (also mung beans).

I've been meaning to put my Instant Pot to test with cooking mongo beans the easiest way.  My  mother-in-law cooks her mongo in the pressure cooker, setting cooking time half the usual.  Typically, when cooking mongo like any other beans, you have to soak it overnight, then cook it in the pot, before adding to the dish.

Hakata Ton-Ichi Dishes Up Affordable Yet #EssentialRamen

On certain occasion, slurping your food is encouraged, even when the tita in you says listen to your values teacher when she says eat quietly, lady-like, so no slurping.  Japanese slurps their noodles like it's a must.  According to ramen chefs, when you slurp, you inhale the aroma of the soup and noodles while the taste explodes in your mouth. This is because humans detect taste not just on the taste buds but also through sense of smell, hence, slurping.  It is the best way to combine these two, especially when one feasts on bowls of ramen.


Let the ramen-slurping begin!

Of Recreation and Fete at Sariwon's 7th Anniversary Plus A New Premium Beef Barbecue Menu

Photo by Shiela Catilo

One of the best thing that happened to our family last year was a tour around the famous places in Seoul, South Korea.  The highlight of that tour was for all six of us to wear Hanbok, so I did put my husband and eldest son up to the challenge, for they too had donned the traditional Korean clothes which we rented out from one of the stores in Bukchon Village.

Hanbok-wearing is part of the cultural experience when visiting Korea.  It is worn by Koreans during special occasions and holidays.  So I made sure we get that ticked off on our must-try list.  It was a dream come true for me and my three girls to walk along the alleys of Bukchon Village and Gyeongbokgung Palace sporting the colorful clothes, however, what we missed was to dine over Korean BBQ on them.

Till Sariwon's 7th Anniversary.

Instant Pot Baby Back Pork Barbeque

I found a new love affair.  The kinda affair that my husband would approve. HaHaHa.

At first I thought I was going to curse myself for falling into this allowing myself be awed and astounded. To be honest, I was afraid to try it but I gave in. And even though many told me that it's gonna cost me, I didn't listen to them.
\
So, YES, I wasn't sorry that I tried it and I can't wait for our next engagement.

Okay, Okay, I'm not into some sort of adulterous affair, I'm writing about how I feel with the first time I used my Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt.

I've had it for a long time, but I was sure scared I might not be able to understand how to use it, coz well, it's nifty high-tech.  It's not like your typical rice cooker with just one button to push.  Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt is a 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer, built in with digital buttons up front for the different cooking features.

Why wouldn't I fall in love with it, can you see how beautifully it sits on my kitchen counter top?

 I've seen the raves over Instant Pot® in the US and many home-cooks would attest to it's usefulness and practicality.  Imagine having a smart pressure cooker, a cooker where you can make porridge, cakes and even yogurt.

For my first dish cooked in my new thyngamajig therefore is something I hardly cook as it would take me two to three hours to slow cook- bbq baby back ribs.

LG – Reliable Refrigerators for Your Negosyo Consistently Cool with LG’s Commercial Refrigerators

People in business think of reliability as one of the most important things to consider. It means that you are confident that everything will run smoothly lest simple issues become bigger problems in the future. This is most true especially for food and retail, you have to take the necessary steps and put processes in place that will ensure a smooth operation. When you cut corners, you lose money in the long run. The same ideals are true when considering a refrigerator for your business.

DOT’s Partnership with SM Supermalls to Boost the Tourism Industry

For the tourism sector, shopping is no longer a secondary activity but is in fact an integral part of the tourist experience.

To learn about what other activities that tourists most actively participate in, aside from their main purpose of travel, the Department of Tourism (DOT) undertakes the Visitor Sample Survey (VSS), a monthly passenger exit survey done on randomly selected pre-departure visitors at various international gateways in the country.

For 2018, the results showed that shopping is the most common activity at 38 percent followed by sightseeing at 30.5 percent.  Other activities are sports, nature and adventure, scuba diving and visiting friends and relatives.

The Sweetest Way to Say I Love You Berry Much Mom - with Mrs. Fields

Who doesn't love their mom? I mean, we owe our life to them, right? 

But, let's face it, sometimes it's easy to forget to let her know that. It really doesn't have to be difficult or expensive to show your mother how much she means to you.

Spend a little time with her or give her the right words, a gift, or a favor to let her know just how well she did in raising a child who loves her. This is important to do now and then, whether you're still young or grown with a family of your own.

This Mother's Day would be another opportunity to show her how much we appreciate her, and how thankful are we for Mrs. Fields made it easier to say how much we love our moms.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Launches Generosity Bar

Cadbury Dairy Milk Donates Milk from its Bars to Help Nourish Kids

Human beings are species that loves to help others and confront needs when we see them. 

Unfortunately, there are also very few people who are content with the level of generosity in their lives. Most people I know wish they were able to give more. And while there are a number of reasons that this may be the case… sometimes the best solution may be the simplest.

Like buying a chocolate bar.

Scamorza Menu and Mother's Day Promo at Old Swiss Inn

The most appealing thing to me about food is combining and layering flavors, tastes, and textures.  And eating with cheese is the best element to that.

So, when I knew about Old Swiss Inn serving Raclette and now Scamorza, I told my cheese-lover self that I needed to drop by any soonest date.  It was just befitting when the Fat Girls Day Out invited me to join them for the launch of Old Swiss Inn's new menu which apparently is also a partnership with Pinkie's Farm.

Casa de Amor, An Off the Beaten Path Boho-styled Resto

Before we came to know how serious my pregnancy is, my husband and I, together with our bunso (for the moment) went to Trece Martires to send one of my father's boxes to be kept at a house we are currently renting.  To make our long drive worthwhile after ticking off an errand, I looked for a unique place to dine with.  However, we couldn't find a good one in Trece without going inside SM Mall.

I decided to try out Amadeo, said to be the coffee capital of the country and luckily Google was able to direct me to an Airbnb place with a full-service restaurant.

Va Bene, Still One of the Best Authentic Italian Resto in my Book

"Va bene, mi hai convinto."

In English, it means "okay, you've convinced me."

As I was indeed convinced again.  It has been years since I had something from Va Bene and I was happy to have finally visited again.  Coming here at their branch in Dasmarinas, Makati made me remember my recent visit in Italy, where Chef Massimo Veronessi, the master behind the deli place came from.

Knorr Savor Rich Chicken and Pork at the Test Kitchen Event

Exciting as it was, the Test Knorr Kitchen, which happened at Greenbelt 2 last March 30, had been fete for foodies alike.

Conti's Delightfully New All Day Breakfast Must-haves

In the foodie community, one piece of wisdom remains constant- Having a meal after waking up might be the single most important food decision of your day.  Morning meals does not only fuel your body it also supplies the necessary nutrients needed for a productive day ahead.  Countless studies attest that people who eat breakfast are more likely to meet their overall nutritional needs for the day, than those who opt not to.

This thought made stronger when Conti's first launched their four new all-day breakfast dishes at their Greenbelt 2 branch.  When breakfast meals were that important and were made delectable that you are comforted (through the food and the ambiance), what better way to indulge in them than to have them any time of the day.  Breakfast for lunch, breakfast for dinner, well in this case, I'd also have it for meryenda, especially their Croque Madame!
