Singapore, I can't wait to see you LAH!!

It was at 4AM when I finally pressed the Publish Post button. After a short prayer, I sent in my second entry and just hoped for the best. That was it. I gave my best shot, the rest is up to Him.

Last Monday just like any other typical morning. I got to work on time, opened my computer and went through my email inbox. I went on working up until I got a message from a fellow blogger asking me how I was. Little did I know that he would be my bearer of great news that would not only make my day but my week and month as well!

I won the contest and I'm flying to Singapore in 9 days!!! Yahooooooo!!!

This is actually the shortest time I have left to prepare for a trip. I'm speeding up my research time and quickly listing down the places and food that I will make sure to visit and try during my stay!

Updating myself about what's new in Singapore is such a breeze! I found this new localized website called PinoyLah.com gives us, Filipinos, a better glimpse of Singapore. I enjoyed reading the Sing Stories and the Pinoy Top 10 that lists the Ten Must-Eat dishes in Singapore!

I'm counting down the days as I look forward to trying the various gastronomic treats that Singapore has to offer!

Any suggestions on how I can make my trip to Singapore totally amazing? :)

    Sa Food Republic at Wistma Atria, try the Fried Prawn Mee. It's not hard to find that stall, since it's the only one always with a long queue.

    When you get tried of walking (and in Singapore, you'll walk a LOT!), do try the Singapore River Cruise. It's a bit pricey at SG$18 per person, pero it's really relaxing and it's a nice way to see the other sights of Singapore.

    Have fun in SG Fran :D

Vito's BBQ : Best Chicken BBQ in Town

Image
This was indeed a big big surprise. It started when I was chatting with my cousin and he casually mentioned Vito's BBQ  as we were talking about Chicken Rice dishes. I didn't thought much about it until I went online and saw a couple of friends from my high school posting about the same thing. "Hmm.. what is this  Vito's BBQ ?", I thought to myself. I was definitely so curious now and I quickly went to their Instagram page to check them out. Oh my! I'll warn you now. Do NOT go to their page at the middle of the night or you'll surely end up hungry and craving for Chicken BBQ. Trust me, I learned this the hard, hungry way.  Apparently, Vito's BBQ is named after the owners' 4 year old and he's so adorable! They started in Libis and recently, they opened their pick-up station in... *drumroll* Ronac Art Center along Ortigas Avenue and is even closer to home! Yahoooo!  Anyway, we celebrated Grandparent's Day last last week and I decided that

Ube Leche Flan Cake by Anghelica's Desserts

Image
This is a story of a cake that has launched a thousand..messages. *bow* Okay, maybe a thousand might be too much but anyway...  It all began when my friend Sten shared her newest sweet discovery of a mouthwatering Ube Leche Flan cake that got all of us here in the Lion City intrigued and craving for our favorite local sweets namely -- ube and leche flan. The perfect combination of something oh-so-creamy and another with the right level of sweetness and yumminess. Luckily, our friend C was in Manila when we discovered this gem so we got his sweet sister C2 to order some cakes and the S'mores bars for us. Hooray for super supportive foodie friends! We found out that these yummy treats are created by Anghelica's Desserts , a home-based business that specializes in Ube Leche Flan Cake (Php. 500) and S'mores Bar (Php. 450/dozen) among others. They also have Dulce Quezo Mamon (Php. 400), Kasuy de Baklava and Polvoron con Queso de Bola too! I have yet to try the

EATaewon Seoul Food Experience

 Annyeong! It's been a while since my last blog post and boy this year is zooming by oh so fast!  So, how has everyone been?  As for me, I've been extra busy with work as I recently took on a new role that's equally exciting and challenging but really, I love theAsiaparent and I love my team and I am so excited to grow with everyone this year. On the domestic side, Yaya M has left us (again and for good this time) and we wish her luck in finding her one true love.  Meanwhile, my twins have started pre-school this year so Paul and I have also took on our new roles as Teacher Mommy and Teacher Daddy. I'm still sad that my twins will most likely not experience nursery life such as meeting new friends, being part of school programs, gaining independence and more. Pre-school life was so much fun for me and it breaks my heart knowing that by the time the pandemic is over, they might have to enter big school already. *sigh*  I'm glad that we enrolled them in Kindermusik ea
