After a two month-long search, Frabelle Foods has finally found their first ever Foodie Chef in the finals held last January 9, 2013 in Pasig City. No less than Frabelle Foods ambassador, the dashing senator Chiz Escudero, graced the event and played chairman of the board of judges.

The participants were asked to come up with their own recipe using any of the delicious Frabelle Foods product namely Yummy! Hotdogs and Cheesedogs, Pork Ham Tocino, Longganiza Hamonado, Hickory Smoked Bacon, and Honey Ham. Out of the numerous entries submitted at the Frabelle Foods Facebook page, five Foodie Chefs stood out and they are as follows:

1. Stuffed Chicken by Neneth Tiongkiao Madrona
2. Hickory Smoked Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken by Romeo Julian Garcia
3. Frabelle Trimeat Breakfast by Nathan Dapon
4. Frabelle Delish Muffin by Maridel Pacleb
5. Frabelle Meatlover’s Dream by Marlon Cruz

How was your Christmas feast? Ours was a happy one even though I felt a bit tired from all the cooking I did. Yes, I did all the cooking even though we spent Noche Buena at my parents home. I prepared Spaghetti, Beef Stroganoff, Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet, Lo Han Chai, and Soy Garlic Chicken. But this post will not be about that, but about the new addition to our Christmas feast which is Frabelle Premium Honey Glazed Ham.

Before Noche Buena, we haven’t tried buying and tasting any Frabelle Foods product. I have always been the type of shopper who’s faithful to my favorite brands. But Frabelle Foods sent me their Frabelle Premium Honey Glazed Ham to try and I was so happy that it arrived 2 days before Noche Buena.

A lot of milk tea shops have sprouted in the Metro lately. Clearly, the milk tea craze has taken Manila by storm. What’s there not to love about milk tea, anyway? Hot or cold? I drink it either way. I prefer to have cold refreshing milk tea in the afternoon and on hot days and warm relaxing milk tea to cap the night. But let’s admit it, it’s not that convenient to have milk tea all the time. Oftentimes, I’m already too tired to prepare a mug after a stressful day. My budget doesn’t allow me to buy regularly from the shops either.

Thankfully, I discovered ChaLife Milk Tea. At only Php 7.50 per sachet, it’s not only affordable but convenient to prepare anytime, anywhere. It tastes good too. I usually ask for 75% sweetness in milk tea shops and ChaLife almost gives that same amount of sweetness. A tip though, it’s best to dilute the mixture first in hot water first for easy mixing if you want to enjoy it cold.
