Thai Cuisine Class at The Maya Kitchen

Things are getting back to normal and so are cooking classes! My daughter and I got to attend The Maya Kitchen's Traditional Thai Cuisine class last July 16. Chef Patriya Pattamadilok conducted the special Thai cooking class. Coincidentally, Chaf Pat is at the helm of SOM'S Noodle House. You're a true-blooded foodie if you have been to the original location of SOM's. ;)

Learning to cook Thai cuisine at from an actual master chef is very different from learning to cook by oneself based on recipes or cooking videos. I mean, I've been cooking some Thai food dishes for years now but it is still different to learn hands-on from a chef. 


NEW RESTO ALERT: Cafe Kitsune

Happy to see that a new coffeeshop opened at Podium Mall. We've been frequenting Podium because of its diverse food choices and Cafe Kitsune is a proof that things are indeed getting exciting at the mall. 



Is It Afritada or Menudo, Mechado or Kaldereta?

It is common knowledge that we, Filipinos are so in-love with tomato-base meat dishes that are staples not only during meal-times but big favorite in get-togethers like special celebrations such as birthdays, fiestas, and the likes. These are afritada, menudo, mechado, kaldereta.

But wait, are you confused like me about afritada and menudo? Or what about mechado and kaldereta?
