Product Review: MEYER Purple 2 Piece Set Cookware

     I presume that you already know that I don't cook. If you're following me on Instagram, there's a hashtag #kathinthekitchen but it's really the hubby who is cooking in the kitchen. My husband is the king of our kitchen and I'm proud of that but when it comes to buying kitchen essentials, I'm the queen :) I'm the one who decides what to buy especially with cookware.

     Months ago, we decided to renovate our kitchen to the theme that we really like. New kitchen means new kitchen essentials. First up, cookware. It's hard to decide what brand to buy because there's literally a lot but when it comes to trusted brands, there's only a handful and one of them is MEYER. Look like the heavens have heard what I needed and MEYER Cookware Philippines sent the MEYER Purple 2 Piece Set Cookware for us to try. Sharing my thoughts on this cookware set after the jump.

Feature: Hanamaruken Ramen

     Months ago, I was craving for ramen after looking for furniture for our newly renovated house. I still can't believe that it's only my first time to eat authentic ramen since the trend hit several years ago. Yes, it was already years ago when numerous ramen restaurants sprouted around Metro Manila faster than you could slurp up a bowl of miso soup. 

     Fast forward today, ramen restaurants are too many to count. So what to expect when you see a ramen house? Check the three criteria-quality, authenticity, and (for the bolder chefs), an innovation so that you'll have a happy tummy after finishing a bowl. We were in Trinoma that day and we found a place where ramen is served the way it should be- Hanamaruken Ramen. Kow more about this ramen house in my short feature below.

     Christmas is just around the corner when you see those red balls in festive packages at the supermarket. Queso de Bola is one of the traditional holiday foods served in family reunions, Christmas dinners and parties here in the Philippines.

Feature: Cecon Vitamin C + Cecon Supermoms Event

     It's not easy to be a mom but it's the most rewarding job that a woman can have and be proud of. Imaging the household chores and other tasks to look after the welfare of the family. Tiring, exhausting, but at the end of the day it's fulfilling. As a stay-at-home mom where I do a lot of chores all day, every day, I've learned how to be strong physically and emotionally but there were times that all my "pagod" is taking its toll on me.

     Even a supermom is getting tired after a long day of work that's why it is important for us moms to learn how to take a break, relax, and pamper ourselves once in a while. Weeks ago, I was invited to an intimate event for the moms who dedicate their lives to their family- The Cecon Supermoms event. I'll share the highlights of this inspiring event below :)
