It was unexpectedly cold today so I opted to buy ochazuke from my favourite bento shop for lunch. Ah. Simple but definitely Goodfood! π
Salmon flakes. Nori. Rice crackers. Pickled vegetables. Dashi (fish broth) stock.
and hurray! I can finally post photos! Am not sure of the reason though but I did two things – update my iOS and deleted some apps to have more storage. Now, I-have-to-find-time to catch up with blog backlogs.
We went on a road trip with a couple of friends and their baby on our last vacay in Ph and stopped over at Breakfast at Antonio’s for lunch.
Ordered Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. Yummy!
But when I tasted their Five Cheese Pizza that my friends ordered, I almost lost my head. Goodness, how good it was!!!
Their golden pancake that hubs ordered was delectable as well! Hmmm, looks like we might be dropping by this resto on every Tagaytay trip we’ll be having in the future.

Had a day off from work today (and Yui from daycare) because Yui and I have fever. We both had a sleepless night but thankfully Yui’s fever finally broke this afternoon and i’m dearly hoping it won’t come back anymore (at least this time. Please fever, don’t come back, ok?). Yui had been very clingy in that she can only sleep if she’s snug against me. Can’t do any household work. But good thing I can blog while sweaty Yui sleeps on my chest. :).
Rice and chicken stew with tomato and the very nutritious malunggay/moringa. Cooked by Yui’s grandfather (Mom side) no less. Tasted it. Even sans salt, it was delicious!
Finally, an access to my WordPress app! Couldn’t access the app for a almost a couple of weeks in that I had to reinstall the app. Thing is, I had to try several times to get the right password. But finally, thankfully, I now got an access!
So. Last post was about eating healthy goodness and here is yet another one!
As much as possible, whenever I feed Yui bread, I try to give her the healthier option. Thankfully, she loves it as well!
Hijiki (seaweed) rice bread (the one with white powder on the top) and rye wheat bread.
I also have these two for lunch at least once a week.
When I was pregnant, I love Muji CafΓ©’s wheat bread. Now, both Mom and baby love the bread.
Let’s opt for the healthier choice Moms and Dads!
It’s warm now as May approaches. So I wasn’t expecting roasted sweet potato (or yakiimo in Japanese) would still be sold – they’re usually around during the colder months. But when we saw a man eating his yakiimo passionately on a bench near the grocery section in Ito Yokado, I also craved for one; which had Mayumi laughing and saying “yappari!” (I knew it!). π
Happy me the big ones are available again this time!
Yakiimo is so sweet it’s like candied sweet potato. Roasting it on the stone however, brought out its natural sweetness.
Ah. Love.
Yui had her share of the goodness as well, had it with her oatmeal. Like Mommy, like daughter I think. π
I used to hear yakiimo jingles on speakers attached to the trucks of yakiimo sellers. They’re very seldom seen nowadays and that yakiimo are now more frequently sold in supermarkets. I’d prefer buying the traditional way though albeit Ito yokado probably has the best yakiimo in the region. π
For me, this is perfection. I have so many dish requests in mind that I hope Papa would cook for us during their visit here in Japan but I think I’d be requesting for this one again very soon.
With pork meat, bacon, mushroom and loads of cheese. And sugar.
