Hiatica’s Bonbons
June 16, 2009
What’s a bonbon anyway?
In Europe, a bonbon is a sweet; the simplest form of bonbon is essentially sugar-coated almonds. In the modern era, bonbons have evolved to be any confection with a fondant center, often with fruit or nuts.
Bonbon is also the term used in French and German for sweetness.
Bouquet de Bonbon is a Confectionary distributor which offers high-end candies Bonbons-Barnier made by the Confiserie House – Maison Barnier located in Normandie, France.
The high quality is maintained by traditional methods long before the industrial age automated all production processes.

Ok, I confess I am a junk food addict. I stuff myself sick with potato chips, popcorn, french fries, and burgers. In fact, that is probably the one addiction my husband wishes I lose immediately (in addition to the rest of my excess weight - haha). So it is not a surprise that I am intrigued with new snacks, new stalls, new junk that hear about or read about.

Coffee gets cute at the Charlie Brown Cafe. It’s a nice happy place to chill out with Linus, Lucy, Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang. Find out more HERE.
June 3, 2009 Sharing this article from the Daily Tribune on the benefits of drinking wheatgrass. http://pinoywheatgrass.blogspot.com/2009/06/wondrous-wondrous-wheatgrass.html A1 May 25, 2009 Summer this year has been extremely hot and humid that most days, I find it discouraging to eat anything (believe it!). Truthfully, our usual homemade fare, like Chicken Afritada, or even Adobo feels hot and heavy to the imagination. So I do my best to think up dishes that would feel light enough to eat at the same time not too hard to make. May 19, 2009 What is so great about Belgian chocolate? For some reason everything chocolate seems to have gone on the Belgian bandwagon. From candy treats to ice cream to cakes, the famous Belgian flavor has taken over. Although I admit it is good, I always keep wondering what makes it preferable to say.. Swiss chocolate or even our local tsokolate. May 2, 2009 I am in a Japanese food mood lately that I keep craving for anything even remotely japanese, be it fastfood or authentic japanese. And even if I am hesitant about buying sashimi at a local fastfood because I know its really frozen rather than fresh, sometimes the craving is overwhelming. May 1, 2009 A/H1N1, otherwise know as the “swine flu”, has caught the world holding its breath for fear of it breathing a lungful of contaminated air. April 22, 2009 My kids, husband and myself all love chocolate candies. In fact, we love it so much, it has become part of my grocery list thus, you are likely to find a variety of chocolate candies, bars, baking chocolate and whatnot in our house. Its interesting to note that we also have varied tastes in chocolate. My husband loves dark or bitter chocolate, I would take anything free of nuts or fruits and my kids would eat anything that even slightly resembles chocolate. Go figure. April 14, 2009 I have always loved Banana Cream Pie since the day I tasted it way back when I was in the states. I was not used to pies then and am still not used to them. Here in Manila, the closest I have had to a real pie were the time I actually made an apple pie at home, and the other when we ate at Bag of Beans, which had the best apple-pie I have tried. You would notice I mentioned apples not because they were my favorite but they were of my hubby’s. Go figure. April 1, 2009 I just had my first serving of dragon fruit. March 28, 2009 Its time for recipe sharing once again. While uploading some pictures into my flickr account, I noticed that I still have some pictures for posts that have remained in draft for quite some time now. It actually is perfect timing for me since some people have started asking me again about a particular cheesecake that I had let them try once a few months ago. So to keep from breaking my promise about recipe sharing, here is how I created such a yummy caramel cheesecake. March 28, 2009 I’m not saying that all Jollibee salesladies are slow in the mind. In fact, I admire how many of them balance studies with work. It’s just that I’ve come to encounter one slow saleslady earlier today. March 15, 2009 First of all, we would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to all the GRADUATES! For this momentous event, the Pakalistas of DiningCebu.com have made a list of the best family restaurants in Cebu Philippines for a Graduation blowout. Our recommendations are mostly mall-based Filipino or Chinese restaurants because they are more affordable and convenient for the whole family. See our much anticipated and highly coveted list here: Best Family Restaurants in Cebu Philippines March 14, 2009 Recently, I had to transfer work locations and had to leave a most loved business district for another. To celebrate (or rather mourn) our last day in Makati, my friends and I headed to Greenbelt 5 to dine and soak in the memories of the nearby Malls, funky restos, and everything within an arm’s reach. At the ground level of Greenbelt 5, you will find a bright and snazzy place called Madison. We entered and I took in the sleek white furnishings and the posh interiors. It made me feel like I shouldn’t spill anything so that I don’t mess anything up. Maybe it was the new-ness of the place which causes this but it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It just made me sit up a bit straighter. March 12, 2009 Last week the Pakalistas of DiningCebu.com featured Filipino Restaurants and Pizza Parlors here in Cebu Philippines. This week it will all be about the Chinese food and Chinese restaurants in Cebu. Visit DiningCebu.com to read our review of the following Chinese restaurants in Cebu:
March 8, 2009 The new bistro resto in the city is one of the talk about dining place in Negros Oriental. It is owned by Chef Gabby del Prado. More details here. Pls. visit Obnoxious Queer as well. March 6, 2009 For someone who often eats pancakes for breakfast, you would think I would decline an invitation to eat more of the same type of food for snacks or lunch. But come I did as I looked forward to something more interesting than what my non-stick pan cooks up every morning. At the 4th floor of SM Megamall in Ortigas, at the hallway entrance to the new Atrium, is a colorful place that offers crepes and cream. No, it is not a dessert place. It is not only a dessert place. They also offer savory crepes which are filled with meats, seafoods and vegetables mixed and seasoned to produce a delectable concoction that could definitely pass for a heavy meal and not just a snack. March 6, 2009 February 24, 2009 “If I only knew Sushi was this easy to make” … bragged my hubby. He said this as he proudly rolled the sticky rice to make it into a California Maki. Honestly, everything about Sushi making screamed - easy! But our Sushi making class held at Sakae Sushi at SM Mall of Asia showed us just how mistaken we were. Oh yeah the concept was very much doable but producing neat, compact, consistent and delicious looking maki is an art. February 23, 2009 Last week the Pakalistas of DiningCebu.com showed you a different mix of dining establishments in Cebu from a food court Majestic Express at Robinsons Mall, a pizza restaurant Handuraw, and the classy Cafe Georg. This week the Pakalistas of DiningCebu.com will feature home-grown Filipino Restaurants in Cebu. First up is Tsiboom Native Restaurant, a Filipino Restaurant in Parkmall Cebu Philippines and then followed by my favorite restaurant Golden Cowrie. Read our review here: Tsiboom Filipino Restaurant in Cebu Philippines February 23, 2009 A Plurker who was part of the UPLB team who was asked to examine the tomato sauce of ‘Del Monte’ (according to a news report from BusinessMirror), told the Plurkers the story of the team’s examination.The Green Blood

Swine Flu: Don’t Blame the Pigs!
With a current casualty rating of 151 deaths, thousands of sick and infected persons, and stopping an entire metropolis in its tracks, A/H1N1 can no longer be ignored by the international community. Not to downplay the effects of this virus; which can cause dizziness, coughing, sneezing, and basically everything associated with other flu viruses; but its name has branded a certain population of the planet: pigs.

Banana Ice Cream Pie
Enter the Dragon(fruit)
It used to be called pitaya, but its marketers thought that sounded crude so they settled on calling it dragon fruit. They hoped it would turn an otherwise simple desert fruit into something exotic. IMO, it does have some resemblance to dragon scale, but all affinity to the mythical beasts end there.

Bad Day for Jollibee
A few days ago I went to the city branch of Jollibee in Iligan.
Since I just came from the community, I went to the lavatory to have my hands washed. Unfortunately, there was no water. I went queuing with dirty hands, and decided to order something that didn’t involve finger foods like french fries.
Miss, pa order kog Chicken and Spaghetti ug one rice, I told the saleslady.
Miss, I want the Chicken and Spaghetti plus one cup of rice.
