In the Philippines lunchboxes mostly contained only protein and carbohydrates. A high number of those lunchboxes are under this “baon” group: hotdog+rice, tapa (cured meat)+rice, eggs+rice, adobo+rice. Back when my brother was still in high school we always expect at least a 3 day tapa (cured meat) breakfast as it is also his…

Darkened Tuna Soboro don
I am quite happy with the fact that I spent my early youth being bitter and angry at the world for reasons I now find completely abject. My old notebooks evidently say I should go through the “wild child” phase since it was de riguer. The pursuant of that misread goal was a…
Bibimbap flavored Hallyu
Even before the influx of Korean pop culture all over the world I’ve already started to maintain a love/hate relationship with the country’s offering. If I were to really think about it, its probably because of their fast paced fashion style. The colors so bold. Style so eclectic. People daring enough to wear…
Are you still waiting? (Daigoku Imo)
Korean singer Hee Young sang the single Are you still waiting?, from her album So Sudden for the Korean drama Lie to Me’s OST which I absolutely adore. The song has a folksy feel to it and it get your head bobbing and just feeling the beat. It’s the inspiration for today’s post. This…
A Bento Filler: Egg Wraps

In most of these animation series a certain Japanese food, aside from onigiri and curry pan, is always present. Yes, the very obvious answer is DANGO. In fact in the anime…
school days eh?
Most Filipino children grew up going to school with packed lunch or baon. It ususally consists of friend chicken or pork or sometimes fish paired with steamed rice.Some parents buy a substantial amount of preseved meats such as tocino (cured pork cuts), chorizo, hotdogs or tapa (cured beef slices). I’ve had my share…
can you tell what my favorite color is?
I want a sandwich. There’s no bread. How can that be when there’s so much fillers? So I made these. You know, this kind of cookie sandwich thing is so popular here, in the Philippines I mean. I think it’s because most Pinoys are interested in other snacks/meals that are usually savory with…
one lazy cat bento
Bento Fish Cakes A few months back I made a bento with yellow corn and tamagoyaki. I think there was minced pork adobo or something, I forgot already. So anyway I just whatever is available and that is…leftover fish. My initial plan was to pull the fish then stir fry it with string…
