Happy New Year!

Our feast for New Year dinner was simple yet elegant, so easy and fast to prepare that I was able to do it all in a span of an hour. This was because I prepared our menu in batches. You see, for our very first dinner for 2014, we had Paella (I used frozen sofrito which I prepared a month ago), fruit cake (which was also baked a month ago), and a cheese platter. 

Beatty’s Chocolate Cake by Ina Garten

We love chocolates. Chocolate cake, biscuits, snacks, candies, you name it. As long as it has chocolate on it, specially if its dark chocolates, we devour them to bits. We prefer it over fancy flavours, just simple and classic chocolate.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! 

Hope you all enjoy this holiday with family and friends!

Bibingkang Pasko / Christmas Rice Cake

I remember when we were young; my family would go Christmas shopping at Cubao COD mall. It was a nice place to visit during the holiday season because of their yearly Christmas play that uses animatronics. It showcases different themes and Christmas stories every year. They started to stage the Christmas shows in COD Avenida, Manila on December of 1957. But when they closed the Avenida branch, they transferred the show to COD Cubao, Quezon City.

Christmas season is a joyous event back home. There are reunions, Christmas parties, gift giving and abundance of really good food. But the prelude to parties and reunions are also one of the moments in my life that are truly exhausting. 

Where to buy affordable Christmas decors in SG

It's that time of the year again that I feel so overwhelmed over stuff I would like to have to make our home more festive (that is if budget permits). And since Singapore is not that into the Christmas holiday mood that much, buying holiday decors is a tough one. Good thing there are a few stores that capitalizes on Christmas decors at affordable prices. Here is a list of the ones I visited.
