The Thai Hawker Cuisine Scene
Bangkok is definitely a hawker (street food vendor) paradise. Just a few weeks ago, I went on my yearly trip with my family to my favorite gastronomic spot in Southeast Asia, which is Bangkok. Every year becomes more and more exciting because I stumble across new food finds along the streets of Bangkok. Of course, I still frequent my favorite hawker stands, but there is so much to discover.

Cuisine of the Humble Town
11:48 a.m.

The Wheat Generation
Almost half of the cultivated land of the world is used to produce cereals, and one-third of it is used for wheat, whose production exceeds that of rice. Because of this, wheat was named the "king" of cereals.

The Good History On My Plate
I have been an avid Dagupeña diner since I can remember driving and making my choices of detours when I came from Baguio or the beach areas in Pangasinan.

Emperor’s Feast
I have long wondered how royalty feasted. I was thinking of these scenes: of the gong sounding the arrival of the food; a grandiose table setting with gold cups and utensils, an elaborate brocade table cloth, a table runner made of spun gold thread; grand candelabras; freshly-picked fruit in a golden fruit bowl…in other words, the works! But I couldn’t make up my mind as to the menu for royalty.

When Supermarket Wines Make It To The Gourmet Table
My illicit love affair with wines started two years ago, after a Vertical-Wine-Tasting at the Center for Asian Culinary Studies in Greenhills, San Juan, under the direction of Chef Gene Gonzalez.
