About
I am a Filipino artist who was born and raised in Manila. Currently based in Vietnam as the Head of Creative Group in a local Ad agency. I am a lover of life and a lover of Australia. I am making the most out of what I have now by doing and learning the things I love. I am into painting, physical activities like running and kick boxing, whistling the harmonica, traveling, beach bumming, photography and of course cooking almost everyday! If I have to claim one thing in my life and that is, I am Jamie Oliver's number one fan in the Philippines & Vietnam. In that claim I am 100% sure. I admire Jamie Oliver so much that's why whatever he does, I try to do it in my own little way. I know I am going to meet him one day :-)

Chicken Curry Rice ala Paella
Sun 10 Jan 2010GENERAL BLOG
Before I headed for my holiday in Manila, I did some cooking stints for my good friends here in Saigon. I cooked Paella for Muay Thai friends after not cooking the dish for almost two years. I also cooked Crepe Dome Chocolate Cake for the first time but I do not have a nice photo for me to post it here. But one of my specialties which is Chicken Curry Rice was a winner during the Christmas dinner with fellow Filipinos here in Saigon. And I am happy to share the photo and the recipe in Foodwise here in Jamie Oliver website...
Hope you like it!

Chili Chicken Curry
Tue 05 Jan 2010GENERAL BLOG
Happy New Year Everyone!
May this year be filled with spices that will bring certain meaning to each of us.
This is my very own Chicken Curry filled with Chili. Some mistaken this dish to be very spicy, but it's not. Mild spice and nice aroma because of the Wansoy leaves.
Enjoy this one one...

Australian Bistek
Thu 17 Dec 2009GENERAL BLOG
Hello Mates from around the globe. I can smell Christmas already and feel the cool breeze of the wind. And during cold weather it's nice to have a rice breakfast. Garlic Fried rice goes well with a BISTEK. Bistek is a Filipino Beef Steak cooked in oil, soy sauce with ground pepper. Bistek is a Spanish word the Filipinos are using now as a common word often mistaken as a Tagalog word. During my Australian vacation I cooked BISTEK, Australian version. Using of course Australian beef. And the result is different. Australian beef will always be superb tongue
