Beyond the Deep Frying of Charlie’s Pritchon

Only a few people can resist the goodness of a deep fried suckling pig by Charlie’s Pritchon. This celebration staple since the early 2000’s has bee replicated by so many, but the original remains the best. And it’s because they have more than just deep fried lechon. In a previous post, there was the pesto crusted baked Norwegian salmon for the seafood lovers.   And then there’s more for them,…

Postcards: Back in Boston

The historic Charles running through the city, a cool fresh breeze always present, and some of the most ethnically diverse and friendliest people you’ll meet in America. Welcome to Boston! For a highly urbanized city, they sure love to connect with nature and their healthy lifestyle. More people walk here than use cars, and a great part of the population are into some sort of health and wellness regimen. I mean,…

Postcards: Hong Kong to Boston Connection

Ray: Ah yes. Hong Kong International. It’s always a pleasure to arrive, or even just to connect here. And not just because of my bias during one time I got stuck here for half a day.

Postcards: Eat, Drink, Bite, Crawl Around Lisbon

Ray: There is merit when people say that Lisbon might be the upcoming food central in the region. The diversity is amazing! As mentioned in the previous post, since Portugal is listed as one of the safest countries to go to the world, you cannot blame people for moving here and bringing with them their cuisine to add flare to the local flavors. But of course, you just have to…

Postcards: Ola, Lisbon!

Ray: Lisbon is beautiful! What you see above is a picture from the Metro station in Olaias. Never knew a metro station can be made to look like it’s a whole art installation. It’s spacious, clean, and you feel generally safe. In fact, I believe Portugal is listed as one of the safest countries in the world. There’s an apparent heat wave that has passed through the region, and the…

Postcard: The Red Eye Flight to Lisbon

Ray: Been a while since we made some Postcards. So much are actually pending from last year. Given busy schedules and further studies, it’s been a rare time since we have made active contributions.

Giving a Wheelchair One Course at a Time

Attending a Project Wheelchair charity dinner is not much about the culinary prowess and degustacion that you will encounter, as it is a story of how one family cares to spread the love that they have felt from a daughter and sister who has passed on and continues to look after them until this day. Dedet dela Fuente is known in Manila as the “Lechon Diva”, with her trademark stuffed…

Postcard: Honolulu Grub

Ray: So we just mentioned in a previous Postcard that Honolulu is one expensive city. But for locals, there is one no-fail place where you can get reasonably priced food at big portions: L&L.   To Filipinos, think of this as their version of Jollibee. Pretty much found in a lot of corners around Hawaii, this brand is actually co-owned by a Filipino migrant and has expanded to the Mainland…
