I’m glad to be cooking in the age of the Internet. I love how easy it is to find something new to try, regardless of my noob-ness. The world’s recipe book is at your fingertips! Imagine several decades ago, you’d only learn about new dishes if you get cookbooks! Sharing with you my Easy Recipe Bank board where I pin dishes I’d like to try, and incorporate on my meal plans 🙂 (I’m Filipino so you’d see several Filipino dishes in there, too!)

It’s only Tuesday and yet this is the third this week of #ThingsIGetFromSouthernCross Before I started posting these freebies I’ve received Frantelle Sparkling Water twice. Refreshing! .
My Melbourne Central station-bound hubby is now envious of the freebies I get from Southern Cross!

Today in #ThingsIGetFromSouthernCross I’m seriously heading home with a litre of lactose-free milk! Thanks @completedairy
I take public transport everyday (train + tram) and once a week there’s a promo team at the Southern Cross Station 🚉 I’ve gotten all sorts of freebies grom candies, smoothies, yoghurt, coffee pods... but this is by far the best! Fresh fruit! Thank you @calypsomangoes Vitamins much needed for this rainy day!
What a good find! #nasigoreng from @naughtynurismelb takes me right back to Bali! This was paired with their signature sambal-marinated pork ribs. Ugh I so missed sambal and the awesome cuisine. I remember after my second trip to Bali, I realised that Manila didn’t offer many choices when it comes to Indonesian cuisine. Now, anywhere in Melbourne serving babi guling?? .

Yesterday we went for #ramen at one of Melbourne’s well-loved legit ones—Hakata Gensuke. I half thought a sunny evening (yep still can’t get used to sunlight during dinner time) wouldn’t get a ramen place full but of course it still did! This spicy ramen wants me to go back (and to Japan please #fukuoka_tonkotsu take me there!) We also tried their singature tonkotsu that was really good it didn’t even stand a chance at getting photographed!

Spaghetti and Meatballs, anyone? Complete with a garlic buttered toast. I’ve never done meatballs but my officemate’s partner had his own recipe that I just had to try. Also...I’ve just learned about #passata which is basically a tomato purée, used it instead of your off the rack pasta sauces! Yummmm

I don’t think I’ve eaten a #grapefruit when I was in Manila, quite possibly because they’re quite pricey. And I’m ever so happy that it’s very much accessible here. It’s bitter and sour, it makes me feel like I’m srsly eating something healthy!
So I have just been exposed to the world of #yoghurt and now I always make one small jar of yoghurt with chia seeds and keep it in the fridge. (Also a welcome to chia seeds moment for me.) We have this as a snack, dessert or even dinner: mixed with frozen berries, nuts, muesli and all even cereal. A whole new world, like Aladdin sings. What’s your favourite mix?
