Wandering, Eating and Cooking
January 2017. I was stuck. Literally. The Philippine embassy managed to mess up my passport and I couldn't go on the big road trip that my aunt, uncle and I planned to do while I was on forced vacation. I was also near the end of my one year agreement at work in Tofino. I... Continue Reading →
After 5 long years of going everywhere else but, I finally went home. And what is home without family, friends and food? Absolutely nothing. To say that I ate like there is no tomorrow is an understatement. It was all I thought about. I planned my days on my meals and what I want to... Continue Reading →
Let me tell you about my new home. Tofino is beautiful, with its picturesque beaches, even when it's raining, and lush forest! Some of my friends asked me, "Why do you go to the remote places?" Sure, the nearest Wal-Mart is an hour and half drive away in the winding roads of the "Pass", but... Continue Reading →
I love mini cities. You know those cities which are almost as quaint as Cape Cod but it's not dizzyingly huge like New York City or Manila. I love them. I love how everything is at your fingertips but you can still find a place tucked somewhere for some peace and quiet. And I... Continue Reading →
Vancouver Day 2. I must be jet lagged. I woke up at 6 AM again. It was raining out and I decided that I was gonna go to Granville Island. I considered my choices for breakfast. Part of me wanted to check out Wildebeest but they only did weekend brunch. I thought about Nelson the Seagull... Continue Reading →
Next stop: VANCOUVER! From what I heard, Vancouver has a lot of good restaurants. I spent the last year or so listening to Celeste (Raymonds' pastry chef -- queen of the apple cake dessert) about Vancouver. Whenever she flew home, she came back with tales of dim sum, pho and everything else that she ate.... Continue Reading →
Before I set out for an adventure, I have to leave something, someone and someplace behind. I guess you can call this my farewell...to St. John's, thank you for the fruitful four years, where I learned so much as a chef, learned to become more patient (and still working on it), learned a little about handling...

It seems like forever ago since I "bumped" this blog. I am so sorry. Life happened. I suppose a year and a half later seems too late to write about those macarons, crêpe and gelato that I feasted on during my Parisienne and Roman holidays. So you know, let's move on. One of the perks... Continue Reading →
My trip to Paris would not be complete if I did not at least have an epic meal. But really, seriously speaking everything I ate while I was there was pretty freakin' epic, except for the pizza and pasta at the outlet store food court that we had the first night we were there. My... Continue Reading →
I was very fortunate this year (every year, actually, because I have awesome god parents) to be able to visit Paris and Rome. I have long dreamed to visit Europe. While I had made up a fantasy intinerary for an all out backpacking tour to all of my foodie destination cities. I also wasn't going... Continue Reading →
I am a fun loving, adventure seeking, free spirited individual in love with God, food, travel, photography, macarons and caramel lattes. I say, cook and do what I want.
