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!
The wait is finally over! Balmain Paris Hair Couture is finally here in Manila. In the Philippines, it is exclusively distributed by iBloom Corporation headed by founder and CEO, Mirasol Salao.
Everyone has that one person in their life who simply can’t seem to function until they’ve had their morning coffee, and whilst most people tend to enjoy a cup of coffee or a pumpkin spiced latte once in a while.
Pinoy pride is one of the things that immediately unites the nation, and this is often brought by Filipinos making it big in the international stage. When it comes to sports, there is a long list of Filipino athletes that have done the country proud including the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Hidilyn Diaz, Efren “Bata” Reyes, Carlos Yulo, and the Philippines Men’s Basketball Team. With their innate talents, sheer determination, and iron will, they bring pride to the country, and inspire and create better opportunities for young athletes to also rise to the top of their game.
