Mushroom Crêpe Cake
Here’s another recipe I made when I was in Virginia using mushrooms. It’s a good thing my cousin La loves mushrooms too since all the meals I cooked in her house contained mushrooms. I saw this recipe on Smitten Kitchen and I filed it on my simplenote iPad app for cooking in the future. SinceContinue reading “Mushroom Crêpe Cake”
Portabella Mushroom w/ Seafood Stuffing

I love Costco and would go gladly go for anyContinue reading “Portabella Mushroom w/ Seafood Stuffing”
Best Buns Bread Company
After brunch at Carlyle we went to Best Buns Bread Company next door. I had to see the place where all the wonderful bread we ate at Carlyle and Coastal Flats came from.

Brunch at Carlyle
My cousin Sha and her friend Carmela really know all the best places to eat in Virginia and DC. They brought me to Shirlington, an urban village in Arlington, Virginia.

The best burger I ever ate – Ray’s Hell Burger
This is the best burger I’ve ever eaten SO FAR. There are so many burgers I haven’t tried in Manila and in other countries but for now this is the BEST burger ever.

Warm Sourdough Bread Salad w/ Roast Chicken
It’s funny but I cooked more when I was in Virginia for 4 weeks than a whole year in Manila. I find it easier to put together meals when everything is so convenient in their supermarkets. Everything is pre-cut, pre-packed, pre-cooked. All you really have to do is be creative and put all the ingredientsContinue reading “Warm Sourdough Bread Salad w/ Roast Chicken”
