While the world is still reeling from the pandemic and travel is still predominantly not allowed, we have so much to plan and so many destinations to dream of until borders are once again opened. With that in mind, we’ve decided to take you to Singapore, the city-state that has a stellar reputation for how they’ve handled the pandemic, a place that is rapidly recovering, and one of the safest countries to visit and to find itself on your bucket list when travel is once again possible.
As I mentioned before, The Tennis Foodie was born out of love and passion for Food, Tennis, Fashion and Travel. My fourth year was not short of drama, features, awards, travel, tennis and fashion. So what changed after four years?
These days, children are considered the “couch” generation as they do not need to move around anymore. Everything that they need and want is already right on their fingers, with all the gadgets at their whim. However, it is still important to introduce them to more physical activities for their growth and development. A child does not need to be athletic as you may read here, but they always go outside and let those muscles go to work. Why don’t you try introducing them to a hobby that is still fun but involves more movement?
I had the privilege of attending The Canadian Roast and Toast Dinner hosted by The Embassy of Canada last December 4, 2020. It was attended by selected restaurateurs and top foodies at Ikomai in Salcedo Village, Makati City. Also in attendance were Honorable Ambassador Peter MacArthur, the Canadian Ambassador to the Philippines along with First Secretary and Senior Trade Commissioner, Lulu LeBlanc.
The Tennis Foodie turns four today. It’s been a very challenging yet ultra productive year. This year, I started to post daily at the start of the pandemic. I also released more recipes this year. I’ll continue to do that next year.
This has been a very challenging year for everyone. Back when everything was normal, if we are craving for a nice slice of pizza or our favorite milk tea, we would just go out and buy it whenever we like. The problem, nowadays, is that people are more cautious in going out of their homes, most restaurants and food businesses are closed, and some already lost their jobs due to this pandemic.
Did you know that there’s a new pasta place in Bohol? Yes! You heard it right. Carbonara Restaurant owned by Luca is Bohol’s first cheese wheel place home for authentic Italian pasta. Located at the Airport Road, Panglao, Bohol, it’s one of the budding new restaurants in the area.
Gone are the days when we would associate the word ‘baking’ with a traditional oven. Unless you’re a professional baker or supplier of homemade baked goods, you can get creative with food recipes even without an oven. If you’re still deliberating over an oven purchase, you might (finally!) be able to make up your mind after reading these baking hacks with an air fryer, which is basically a compact countertop convection oven.
This week, I went back to the gym full time. In order to satisfy my cravings and nutritional needs, I partnered with KiaOra Produce to create a fun, delicious, gourmet peanut butters that comes in different adventurous flavors. KiaOra Produce has officially landed in the Philippines! They introduced me to Fix and Fogg, a sugar free and non-GMO sustainable peanut butter. It’s perfect for vegans too!
It’s that time of the year again when the world pays tribute to one of the most loved and versatile staples in the dinner table—pastas! October was World Pasta Month, where every day is pasta day. It is undoubtedly the most beloved food around the globe where several nations have their own versions of pasta. Today, I created a simple recipe that kids and all ages will love – San Remo Keilbasa – Black Forest Ham Baked Macaroni using San Remo products!
