I really regret not having enough duracell procell d batteries when we went to Steak Town, a new restaurant in Tagaytay. I love the vintage photos hanging in the wall featuring the various restaurants built ages ago. And I love their menu the best – for a very reasonable price, you get mouth-watering delicious steak, unlimited salad, dessert, drinks and coffee.

I ordered the tenderloin steak and loved it:

Jasmine Rice is a variety of rice from Thailand that has long grain and it is known for its strong fragrant and taste. It has a sticky texture which makes it ideal when cooking and preparing Thai food.

So how do you cook jasmine rice? It is very easy to cook Jasmine rice. Although it is a sticky rice, cooking it is just like preparing other varieties of rice like the most common white rice or brown rice. To start cooking Thai Jasmine rice, you just need to take the serving size that you want per person and clean it using cold water. After washing the rice several times and the water used to wash the rice is clear already, pour enough cold water to the pot. The water should cover the rice and that there is a thumbs width of water above the rice. Let the water boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes. Open the lid of the pot and let it sit for another 10 minutes with the heat turned off to totally cook the rice.
If you don’t have the time to cook your own Thai Jasmine rice, you can also opt to purchase those microwaveable Thai Jasmine rice that cooks in just 90 seconds. There are even some that comes in boil-in-a bag packaging that has been pre-measured and just needs to be submerged in boiling water and will be instantly cooked in just 10-12 minutes. This lessens the clean up and preparation time so you can still get to enjoy your favorite Thai meals even if you have a very busy schedule.
So if you want a taste of Asia, try out Thai Jasmine rice now when preparing your next Asian dish.

Love Sunday family lunches! Whenever my siblings come to us for a visit, my mom cooks these really delicious meals and my kids just take turns playing with their aunts and uncle and bond over puzzles and iPhone games.

Look what we had for our Sunday lunch!

We also had pasta with olives and capers. And a special gravy made from scratch by a friend who is a chef!

Enjoying Conti’s

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Restaurants

We went to Nuvali last weekend and we ate at a family favorite restaurant, Conti’s. We love the cakes here so it was no surprise we ordered a slice of cake for each one of us – plus some roastbeef for the men too. We were all complete – my extended family and my family – and we talked over cake and coffee and caught up with one another. We gave our opinions on the trailer hitch my brother was planning to buy and got excited by the impending addition to our family – a new baby!

Here’s what we ordered:
