Yeh, yeh, I know. All of you are thinking that, oh no, another one of those goody, goody posts that’s going to sound like an episode of the Brady Bunch.
The truth is, my family could be just as dysfunctional as the next one but there is one thing that always unites us and make [...]

… sparks a quest for the perfect Hainanese chicken rice.
But before anything else, welcome to my brief round up of Hong Kong eats. Brief because when I checked my pictures, a lot of food pictures were missing due to overeager eaters … again.

If there was one reservation that the "Hungry" Hubby had about me being in the Philippines for 5-6 weeks was that I’d come back the size of a whale. So he had a talk with my two brothers, who were the usual suspects and associates in my food [...]
A journey home…

What can I say? I’ve been MIA for more than a month. Some of you knew I went home to the Philippines, while some of you emailed me wondering if I had turned my back on blogging. The truth is, when you stop blogging for a couple of weeks because someone still had dial-up internet [...]

The "Financier"
Where to begin? I’ve long wanted to write this but couldn’t find the right time or words.

A view of the Eiffel Tower from the Trocadero
So we ate…a lot, but we walked a lot too. In fact, I’ve never walked so much in my life. I shall spare you most of my sightseeing pictures as I’m sure that there are more than enough travel blogs that cover this, [...]

10 lbs of chopped onion
Anyone who has seen the movie Julie and Julia knows where I am coming from. So I wanted to practice my knife skills. “Hungry” Hubby concurred and got me 10 lbs. of onions from Costco which amounted to about 12 medium to large bulbs. Chopping them all in one shot can [...]

The food of Manila

The city that grew the foodie in me. Chubby Hubby has a delectable account of this most underestimated food destination in Asia. Although I must say the food scene has developed into a level that I have not seen before. Pork belly and foie gras cassoulet? Never seen that dish on any of the menus when I [...]

I knew when I decided to move to wordpress from typepad that it would be painful to leave 3 years of work behind me as there was no direct conversion between these two blogging platforms.

I’d like to welcome readers new and old to my new Kitchen Musings blog. I’m still learning my way around WordPress and my cooking last weekend had been shot because "Hungry" Hubby and I decided it was a good idea to watch the entire season of "24" in a day and half instead. So my [...]
