Saging Rebosao

January 9, 2011 Homecooking by Flisha 4 Comments

I had some saging rebosao for my late night dessert tonight. It wasn’t as complicated as I thought it would be. I thought you needed to put the bananas under hand dryers for the sugar to crystallize or something. My mom’s made them for years but I never really bothered...

Zamboanga also needs new restos!

June 6, 2010 Zamboanga by Gim 1 Comment

While we’re on the topic of what Zamboanga needs, I’d also like to point out that Zamboanga needs new restos too! Although there are a few exceptions (Mr. Bean’s at the Catribbo Complex, Patio Palmeras along Pasonanca road), most of the restos in the city are old, dilapidated, and with...

Zamboanga needs new malls-stat!

June 6, 2010 Zamboanga by Gim 4 Comments

Zamboanga badly needs new shopping centers. The city is literally growing; population-wise, the city grew from 500,000+ residents in 2001 to close to a million this year. That’s double the number of people nine years ago! No wonder the city’s streets are chaotic most of the time (pretty soon the...

Inside Randomdetox

See that green and orange Random Detoxification banner above? That was taken approximately 6 years ago during one of our regular forays in the east coast (I miss those joyrides. It was one of those best weight loss supplements). It’s a picture of a valley surrounded by emerald hills...

Pretty waterlilies!! Do you know they bloom at night then close during the day??? I wonder why... Would it not be more aesthetically pleasing if it were the other way around?!?

Lantaka by the Sea

December 20, 2009 Featured, Zamboanga by Flisha Leave a Comment

We got caught in the rain while joyriding through the streets of Zamboanga. We were about to drop by Paseo del Mar, but it was full of Sunday folks. So we decided on Lantaka by the Sea instead.

Lejos tu na Zamboanga? Ta supri para na olor de su cocina? Triste para na color de su cielo? Hangul para na sabor de su viento? Si. Yo tambien. Y ele tambien. Y todo Zamboangueño no hay na Zamboanga. Este el diaspora Zamboangueño. Pero cosa tu puede hace? Lejos...

What If’s

August 29, 2009 Personal by Gim 2 Comments

What if my life took a different turn and I’m not tediously and (not too) patiently toiling to become a licensed physician, what would I probably be doing now? Hmm, let’s see. When I was young (-er), I used to have daydreams of being a… Iron Chef! I loove cooking...

I luv TOSH

A couple of weeks ago, Fli brought me to a pasta house in Makati. I have always been a fan of pasta. For me, nothing beats having crispy fried chicken, pizza and a big bowl of pasta on a Friday night. Why Friday? I don’t know, I guess cause having...

Best Things in Life are in Zamboanga

May 28, 2009 Zamboanga by Flisha 1 Comment

If you were the type to do it, you would have to colon cleanse yourself maybe once a day at least if you lived here. Some Facebook friend of mine once said that it’s impossible to diet in this city. Zamboanga, I mean. And it’s completely true, too. Why? 1....
