If you are new to my blog, let me reintroduce you where I am from. Håfa Adai (or hello / greetings)! I was born, raised, and currently living in the island of Guam; Guåhan in CHamoru. CHamoru is the proper spelling and term to call the indigenous people on Guam. Guam is a…

Vegan Corn Chowder (Coconut Corn Soup)
I just want to be clear, I’m an island girl. Living on Guam, I experience summer all year long. Making soup recipes and holiday themed dishes, especially made for winters, are not natural to me; and it is something I have adapted since food blogging. Though, I do enjoy making holiday-themed recipes now….
Easy Vegan Tofu & Eggplant Stir Fry
Why, hello there November! How are you holding up? Has it been crazy, stressful, or heavy? If so, I understand, that is kind of the theme of 2020. A series of plot twists. I don’t know about you, but the first week of November had been quite draining and all I wanted to…
Vegan Mapo Tofu
So, I’m quite excited about presenting this new recipe. For two reasons, mainly. One, it is a super easy, authentic dish to recreate. Two, it is definitely a Chinese-cuisine favorite. It’s also one of my favorites (though, I feel like I say that a lot about any dish). I’m talking about Mapo Tofu….
Vegan Menudo (One Pot Filipino Style Stew)
I don’t know about you, but I have been in the mood for stews these days. Perhaps, it must be the change of weather. On Guam, we don’t have fall season (or any season apart from summer and rain). We have rainfall – which is close enough for a sweater-weather, I guess. So,…

Vegetable Chow Mein

Restaurant Style Salt & Pepper Tofu
You’ve probably already guessed, that yes, my favorite kind of food are Asian cuisines. With that, I do find that there are a million (and one) ways to flavor tofu. I get it, tofu can be bland. But when it is prepared properly, it can actually be one of the tastiest key ingredients…
Vegan Banana Fritters
First of all, I know I’m long overdue for a sweet recipe. Secondly, I apologize for not having a strong enough sweet tooth. Sweet cravings, my friend, comes and goes for me. But if you are scrolling down the blog looking for an indulging treat, stick around! Today, I’m showing how to make…
Vegan Malunggay Pandesal (Moringa Filipino Bread Rolls)
Two things: Pandesal, or rather pan de sal, is the national bread of the Philippines that’s toasted golden brown and coated in bread crumbs. Pandesal is often paired with coffee or hot chocolate in the morning for breakfast or as a midday snack. Secondly, malunggay (ma-loong-gai) leaves, or moringa leaves, are grown from…
