A month ago, I was actually in Japan (happy tears all around), signifying one major item crossed off my bucket list: eat legit Japanese food!

This was pretty much my reaction to everything I ate while I was there.

Allow me to take you on a gastro-tour around Osaka and Kyoto by showing you the Japanese dishes we got to sample while we were there:

DIY Ramen at Ramen Nagi

Just yesterday, I blogged about the latest pizza craze, Project Pie. Little did I know that hours after having written that, I would experience yet another DIY kind of restaurant.


After Italian cuisine, I would have to say that Japanese cuisine is my second favorite. And these past two or so years, I've increasingly become a fan of ramen. Maybe because there are noodles involved (my all-time favorite source of carbs!).


Or maybe — if I were to attempt to articulate why people love ramen in a nutshell — because of that delicate balance of soft handmade noodles, its rich and flavorful broth, and those melt-in-your mouth pork belly strips.


So when the opportunity came to try Ramen Nagi (the latest ramen restaurant to set foot in Manila), I was one of the first to jump for joy.


Food-Filled 2013

I thought of making a food post in my other blog, but earlier today, my sister suggested that I make a separate blog just for food. And since I plan to keep taking pictures of and trying new dishes, and I plan to actually start cooking this year (watch out, world!), I thought that this was a good idea.

So, hello, everyone! Here I am, starting the new year (albeit 15 days into 2014) with a new blog dedicated solely to one of my many passions: food.

A disclaimer: I am, by no means, a connoisseur of any kind. Neither am I qualified (at least in my opinion) to write proper reviews. But I do love food and I do love trying out new dishes and cuisines. Plus, for the first time in my life, I'm really making a commitment to make my culinary genius of a mother proud by learning how to cook.

For my first entry, I thought of writing about some of my favorite things to eat last year. They must have really been "top of mind", as we say in advertising, because these are the only ones I remember.

(Also, these were the only ones whose pictures were still in my phone's camera roll. Cop-out excuse, I know. Sorry! I'll do better this year.)
