Kimchi’d Up
If you’re one of those who doesn’t not care about reading a blogger’s story, just go. Find your free recipe somewhere else. I mentioned in my previous post that I made dishes, that are not of Korean origin, with Kimchi. I made these early on the fermenting process. So the kimchi still has…
Kimchi and me
First off, the kimchi recipe is adapted from Maangchi. Note that, I used mushroom broth instead of vegetable broth. The reason I chose Maangchi’s recipe is because, well, it’s Maangchi! If you haven’t watched ANY of her videos yet, I suggest you do and you’ll know what I’m talking about. I couldn’t recall…

That vegetarian place
Before the end of last year, my friend and I visited Bangkok Chinatown for a day. We didn’t really have anything planned, it just so happened that I wanted to be there as I’ve listed the area under my “Places to Visit in Bangkok 2018”. Come lunchtime, we went looking for this popular…

Vegan Red Curry Mung Beans on Jasmine Rice
I have always loved mung beans. Back home, the pre-boiled munggo it is mostly sautéed in garlic and tomatoes. I recently found out that there are major tribal differences in cooking the munggo guisado. Of course, I prefer the Ilonggo version, soupy and has additional vegetables in it. I consider it comfort food….
Afloat
There was a period in my youth where all I did was hope I could have a job where traveling the world is a mandatory part of it. Samantha Brown, Janet Hsieh and Luke Nguyen became an afternoon staple. Of course, Anthony Bourdain comes first and foremost. I didn’t have to be travel…
