Okay, so I was in a meeting last Monday. And I receive a call from our admin assistant, “Ms Jen, may box po kayo ng Krispy Kreme dito.”

Winner!

Thanks to one of our Ninangs at our wedding, I cooked Hainanese Chicken.
And since I put it on Facebook, a lot of people have asked for the recipe. That’s actually a first, really, because, as a lot of those people know, I.don’t.cook. Yep, that’s because my mom is a great cook…didn’t feel the need to [...]

I cooked!

Nita, our cook, left for home yesterday to check on her ailing mom. Needless to say, we had to think about what to cook for mealtimes. =) I’m always so dyahe to my in-laws because I don’t really cook. My FIL does and my MIL sometimes does.
I told S on Sunday [...]

Shabu!

Since I got sick, I had been longing for hot soup. I actually had only one place in mind: Gloria Maris Hot Pot. Finally, I got what I wished for last night.
We had their sate soup, and ordered taro (for me!), lobster balls (for me!), meat balls, sliced lamb and mushrooms (for [...]
