When I thought of a recipe for a Christmas salad, this was nowhere near what I had in mind. My partner’s family’s Christmas dinner menu was made of two parts: turkey, lamb and ham for the Christmas bit, and then a Sri Lankan-Indian repertoire of fabulousness: dry curries with beef and chicken, and a light … Continue reading »
A recipe slam is what I called this inspired post since it was really a hodgepodge of ingredients. Thinking of ways to use the harissa that my partner had been gifted, it was definitely one of the ingredients that I thought to have in this mix.

On this recent trip to Cebu, we tried Zubuchon, a signature lechón restaurant (and Anthony-Bourdain-proclaimed-best), and was where I … Continue reading »
On a blustery Auckland morning, on the second last day we were in New Zealand, we wanted to do all the touristy things – the foodie touristy things, that is. One of the best handbook guides you can hope to have is The Insider’s Guide to downtown Auckland, which my partner picked up at the … Continue reading »
Note: this post was written a long time ago from a trip to Bangkok – way before the current floods and at a time when the Yellow and Reds were fighting a political and civil fight. Soi Polo was located in one of the election polling stations The online review’s tagline remarked that it was … Continue reading »
