Kitchen Diaries: Homemade Hummus

Sorry for being AWOL, I've been lazy (what's new?). But, here I am again, back with a food post! This one does not require any cooking at all, so it should be pretty easy. =)

Kitchen Diaries: Easy Sushi Rolls

I love Japanese food, especially sushi and sashimi. The idea for this easy sushi all came about when my mom bought these flavored seaweed snacks from the supermarket. My sister used the seaweed strips to wrap some plain rice and a little bit of Japanese mayonnaise. It was terribly addicting.

Toast Box Celebrates 5 Years in the Philippines

Toast Box is a brand brought in from Singapore by the Bread Talk group. Serving mainly kopi (coffee), teh (milk tea), and a small variety of Asian dishes and snacks, Toast Box reminisces coffee shops from the 60s and 70s. Much like Filipinos with their kape and pan de sal in the morning you can have a cup of Nanyang kopi and freshly toasted bread from Toast Box.

I haven't visited Toast Box in a while so yesterday I decided to have my merienda there.

Tortilla Pizza

I was supposed to make Korean beef stew for tonight's dinner but I totally forgot the part of the recipe which requires me to marinade the beef overnight so I'll save the recipe for next Sunday. Today, I made something for merienda instead.

Merienda is taken from the Spanish, and is a light meal or snack especially in the afternoon, similar to the concept of afternoon tea. If the meal is taken close to dinner, it is called merienda cena, and may be served instead of dinner.

I've been thinking of making tortilla pizzas for a while now because of the leftover tortillas we had from the time I made fish tacos. Today, I finally made them!

Tortilla pizzas!
