Kitchen crush

Check out this fabulous food blog (www.kitchencrush.com)- yummy recipes mixed with a good sense of humor. Now I got a bit inspired to upgrade this dummy blog to a more "serious" travel blog.. I visit so many cool places, restaurants, art fares, shops etc - perhaps time to start some real documentation of it?

Anyway, check out Kasha's blog and get inspired. All the food looks delicious!

Japanese hot pot and Filipino coffee

Yum to both! Thanks to our friends who invited us over for a real Japanese hot pot, followed by a wonderful mango tart (ate it before I had time to take a picture...) and homegrown (kind of) , home-roasted, home-made coffee!



Coffee has become quite a passion among our friends, so much that some are starting to grow their own. We will try it to, and have bought in 10 seedlings for our little farm (where there is still no house..) in Cavinti. I am not too optimistic, coffee farming is a bit out of character for us... But hey, the Philippines used to be the fourth largest coffee producer in the world - time to revive the industry! And for all you visitors, the real coffee here is very good - try it! And stay away from the Nescafe...
