I (Carl) have never been super into the foods of my own people (Filipino). I have my favorites here and there but I tend to not really go for Filipino food at all! People get pretty shocked when I express my mediocre feelings towards the cuisine since I am also Filipino but just because I […]
Coffee and Ice Cream have long had a history of going well together, and whether that’s because both are appropriate at any time of day, or because they both have a way of soothing the soul, we knew that it wouldn’t be long before we try to tackle Coffee Ice Cream. For our first attempt […]
While I may be a diehard chocolate fan, I’ve grown to like strawberry ice cream – as long as it tastes like real strawberries. Unfortunately I grew up only knowing the strawberry that came in the cheaper Neapolitan ice creams, so it wasn’t until I tasted the strawberry from Curbside Creamery in Oakland, California that […]
The world of Chocolate is deep and mysterious and it turns out chocolate ice cream is much more complicated than you’d think. How you introduce chocolate will vary: cocoa powder or chocolate or even chocolate liquor. There are various reasons to use one or the other which will affect overall fat content, freezing point, and […]
Searching For The Best Ice Cream Base Ice cream is one of our most favorite things in the world! Our first date as an official couple was going out to get ice cream together so the sweet treat isn’t just delicious to us but holds a lot of meaning. Ever since then we have made […]

Having visited Brazil about 4 times, I’m (Carl) no stranger to Brazilian açaí. In fact, eating açai the Brazilian way is THE only way to eat açaí. No offense to the islands of Hawaii or the guys in SoCal pushing out some decently tasty “açaí” bowls but I just feel like everyone just over complicates […]
For Mother’s Day I wanted to do a poke party for my mom! She loves poke so it was a no brainer. Poke is a very simple and easy dish to make, but on the mainland it’s incredibly hard to find really good quality ahi tuna or sushi grade fish unless you have a brick […]
It’s that time to make Kacang a new batch of food! We are making her other favorite wet food, Chicken with Sweet Potato Stew! We have a nice price breakdown at the bottom too so let’s get into it! Kacang’s Chicken + Sweet Potato Recipe Materials Big Pot that can fit 2 whole chickens Wooden […]
Oyaki is one of the best snacks to use leftovers with. You can stuff it with practically anything, making it either sweet or savory. While it may seem obvious, living in California (or in the United States for that matter) gives us different ingredients than Japan. But also things that we think are similar can […]
