Another week, another quarantine food post ☺️ Some of our tummy travels from the month of May: fried chicken nasi lemak and potato curry soup; kalderetang Batangas; roast herbed chicken and vegetables; homemade beef ramen; adobong liempo at mani; grilled lamb chops with buttered green peas and potatoes; kinilaw na tanigue at lumpiang shanghai; beef pepper rice and miso soup; pork katsu and eggplant tempura; and the best of Philippine summer feels, bagoong at manggang hilaw ☺️ wishing everyone a great and safe week ahead! Let’s continue to flatten the curve, Philippines 🙏🏻 #thecondochef #may #traveltheworldthroughfood #homemade #homecooking #instafood #instayum #appetite #yummy #yummyfood #yummyph #whattoeat #whattoeatph #wheninmanila (at Makati) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE0h2FHnjou/?igshid=1d4j0v896fz5z

My girls blitzed through their schoolwork today, so here’s an appreciation post for some of my favorite online buys that help keep me sane at this time 😅 1-Cordless vacuum that cuts down my OCD-induced cleaning time by thismuch; 2-Air purifier that cleans our CBD air and helps us sleep better at night; 3-WiFi extender for online schooling because 3rd world internet; 4-USB condenser mic + laptop stand + ring lights for my WFH station; and of course I have to end this with a food post, because 5-I super LOVE the Korean bowl and chopsticks/spoon set that jazzes up our break time snacks 🥰 what’s your favorite online buy so far? #thecondochef #athome #quarantinelife #traveltheworldthroughfood #wfhmom #realliving #reallivingph #wheninmanila (at Makati) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEYQCcKnBLT/?igshid=1kkwrfdznivm0

Enjoying the public holiday by reminiscing on our quarantine food travels last April. We celebrated two lockdown birthdays; ate some of our favorite 🇵🇭 meals; went on gastronomic flights to 🇯🇵, 🇰🇷, 🇪🇸, 🇺🇸 and 🇫🇷 ; and had a successful touchdown at 🍪-town. All meals except the 🍝 and 🍣 are cooked with much love (and wine) by me, myself, and I. Have a happy long (and safe) weekend, everyone! ☺️ #thecondochef #april #traveltheworldthroughfood #homemade #homecooking #instafood #instayum #appetite #yummy #yummyfood #yummyph #whattoeat #whattoeatph #wheninmanila (at Makati) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJY67wnBpC/?igshid=w5wvctor09o3

In solidarity with our healthcare superheroes, we heed their call for another round of strict quarantine measures and staying indoors. While this setup does take its toll on WFH helper-less moms such as myself (cue: random panic attacks), what matters most is that my family and I are home, healthy, and safe. So I thought I’d cheer this feed up by celebrating our quarantine travels in the month of March, our first month of lockdown, through home cooked food. From gyudon 🇯🇵, to grilled (lazy) pandan chicken 🇹🇭 , to DIY burgers 🇺🇸, to grilled liempo at the beach 🇵🇭, to make-your-own pizza 🇮🇹 , with sanity side trips to Sugarland 🧁 and Unwind-when-the-kids-are-asleep Land 🍻🍷 You do you, #athome . Stay safe and sane, everyone! Let’s pray for strength and better days ahead 🙏🏻 #thecondochef #march #traveltheworldthroughfood #instafood #homecooking #appetiteph #yummy #yummyfood #yummyph #whattoeatph #eatpilipinas #wheninmanila (at Makati) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDazQUan5Se/?igshid=8kix30l0pe3x

Can’t wait to travel? Me too! But for now, my family and I are just traveling the world through food. This lockdown has been tough on everybody, but I’m sure somehow, someday, we will be able to give hugs, high fives, and gather ‘round a table again with our loved ones. For now, let’s #stayindoors . Happy Friday everyone, stay safe! 😷🙏🏻 #thecondochef #appetitemagazine #thesuitelife (at Makati) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAekdWpHoDq/?igshid=zj7t45wtmr1g

“This batch is this album. Same pero may extended guitar solo. Mouth feel-wise this latest batch is GOLD” 🥰 — words shared by friends as I bake small batches for sale a few days each week, work- and family-permitting, in our community. We don’t know what the future holds, but let these homemade calamansi muffins take you away for that much-needed Boracay summer feels while in quarantine. DM to reserve for the next bake day, limited supplies only. Thank you for the kind words, @tanyablay and @tatspaman ! Stay safe ☺️❤️ #thecondochef #homemade #freshlybaked #quarantinecooking #calamansimuffins #itsmorefuninthephilippines (at Makati) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7PD0RHUxS/?igshid=vi19hz3sh3wq
