There are days when I yearn for fruit. And my favorite fruit is the apple pie. So far the best apple pie for me is from Sugarhouse. The apple chunks are thick and crunchy unlike most apple pies that have soft mushy apples. I also like their use of grated cheese as topping for theirContinue reading “In search for the best Apple Pie”

Yakiniku Sakura Restaurant
A friend invited us for lunch at Yakiniku Sakura Restaurant. Let me get straight to the point. The interiors and ambiance are a 2 (di pwede kay Erap!) but the food is a solid 8.

Arny ♥ Dading’s Peachy Peachy
Everyone I know loves this dessert made of cassava. It’s a mainstay in potlucks and is a popular Filipino snack. A lot of stores and restaurants sell this but the best in my opinion is the one from Arny ♥ Dading’s Peachy Peachy. Finding their locations is not as easy though. The problem is whenContinue reading “Arny ♥ Dading’s Peachy Peachy”

Vigan Longaniza Tortellini
I bought a pack of Vigan Longaniza at the Food Expo. Vigan Longaniza is from Ilocos, a province in the North. It’s a pork sausage that’s very garlicky and a bit sour. This brand is a good one since it’s not very fatty. I’ve bought some before that was almost all fat. Since I hadContinue reading “Vigan Longaniza Tortellini”
