Last January, I’ve finally been able to convince my dad to call our foreman and have our half of the backyard tiled and covered partially with an extended roof (I left the grass under the mango tree though, Marc didn’t want to waste our money having the tiles ruined when the tree’s roots grow bigger). Anyway, after the construction, we were pretty much broke so the husband thought it wasn’t the right time to buy a grill.

My husband and I went to Hongkong for our honeymoon about two years ago. We chanced upon a small stall at a corner of the street while doing our night shopping.

More than a year ago, my husband Marc and I have already thought of having a food blog. But the plans never really materialized until now—months and pounds of gained weight later, not to mention hundreds of food photo files amassed in our main computer. What can I say? We love to eat!

Honestly, I have no idea how to introduce this blog properly. In my other niche blogs, I have specific flow of topics in mind. Here in FoodBlog.ph, it’s different. I can’t think of any other “focus” but food: food at home, at restaurants, out of town… Basically my everyday encounters with food in general, nothing specific. So yes, I have no idea where this blog will end up in other than the generic category of “food.”

I hope you’ll join me in my journeys still, and together let’s discover the wonders in having one of life’s greatest pleasures: FOOD!

Welcome to FoodBlog.ph, and I do hope you’ll enjoy your stay!
