Ramen at Home? Make That Ramen To Go by Ramen Nagi

The afternoon rains and cool weather of January and February are slowly transitioning to the onset of summer. But one's craving for ramen never stops, rain or shine. It's for those days you need to stock up on Ramen To Go by Ramen Nagi...

Every crisis presents an opportunity. The lasting impact of the more than two-year long pandemic experience resulted in countless innovations in the local culinary scene such as convenient DIY kits allowing consumers to recreate the same restaurant style quality servings at home. Ramen at home? Easy. The Ramen To Go line of Ramen Nagi solves that in minutes. But with the long days of quarantine behind us, is it still relevant? I think so. Now let's make some ramen...

Rainy Day Picks for Take-Out at PAUL Le Cafe

The lingering and unceasing rains from a last quarter storm reminds us all not to count out the year just yet. Seeking refuge from the rains, a stop at PAUL Le Cafe for a soothing Americano led to an indulgent take-out splurge of classic and comforting fresh-baked treats with some of my personal picks... 

PAUL Le Cafe weaves coffee and decadent viennoiserie into an elegant dining experience for its take on the art of coffee a la Francaise in a casual setting at Greenbelt 5. The name PAUL is synonymous with the quintessential French tradition, going as far back as 1889 when the iconic instirution was first established (for more on Paul Le Cafe, see my earlier post, The Art of Coffee A La Francaise at PAUL Le Cafe on the the opening of their Greenbelt 5 branch last March). The rains and a sudden craving for viennoiserie capped by a refreshing cup of Americano with its bold and robust notes was just what you needed, and one of the few things that seemed so right that rainy day.

Take Home Treats: Savory Aussie Meat Pies from Pie Face

The New York Times boldly declared that "pie is the food of the heroic," and that "no pie eating nation can ever be vanquished," in an editorial back in 1902. A century later, you can argue that the center of geopolitics is slowly shifting to the east, and the New York Times editorial is no longer relevant. Then again, who really cares? All I know is that these savory pies from Pie Face still makes my day so much better...   

Pie Face opens its second branch in Eastwood City, serving its wide selection of signature meat pies, along with its equally popular sweet pies and award-winning Australian Di Bella coffee blends. And just like the New York Times editorial, I'm feeling "heroic" today, and I'm going for a Pie Face Sack, with four savory meat pies from Pie Face.
