leadimage Pinoy Halo-Halo on Top Chef

    I was never a big fan of reality TV shows until two years ago when I came home from overseas for good. Call me ‘baduy’ but that’s not gonna change anything - I was addicted to ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother, the local version of the popular Big Brother reality shows overseas. I was so into […]

      Lasang Pinoy 25: Make Your Own Bento

      Annalyn, host of this month's event says:

      "My most recent post on the bento inspired me to host this April’s themed Filipino food blogging event Lasang Pinoy. It has been quite a while indeed … Lasang Pinoy is already on its 25th round-up, a silver celebration if you wish."

      "It is for this reason that I am inviting all Filipino bloggers and readers to participate in my merry theme entitled Make Your Own Bento. ‘Make Your Own Lunchbox or Baon’ if you like, just as long as it depicts a combination of Filipino food that closely resembles a Japanese bento - the healthier and more creative, the better."

    It was a grievance that has been festering since 1782 when the first revolt occurred against the tobacco and […]
