Our Wedding Reception

We held our wedding reception at Bali Garden in Las Pinas. When we first visited the place, it was like we really visited Bali. We thought it was the perfect place for us to celebrate our wedding because it's very private and simple. Also, the interior decors are very pretty and intricate that it's good on its own.

Braised Tofu

I am always searching for easy recipes that I can cook at home and bring to work. This recipe that I found on Pinterest is so easy to make with only a few ingredients. Also, tofu is a great alternative for meat and a good source of protein. I got this recipe from KiranTarun.com however, I did not include all the ingredients that she used.

Wedding Bells: Bamboo Organ Church (Booked!)

Can I just say that planning a wedding is difficult AND expensive! Between mommy duties and work, I barely have free time to organize things. Since we started working on this late, we didn't have the luxury to have as many options as we like. The husband to be and I was only able to check 2 venues for the church. One is in Malate Church and Bamboo Organ Church (St. Joseph Parish) in Las Pinas, as suggested by my mom. After a few discussions, we went with Bamboo Organ Church even if it's a bit more expensive than Malate Church. And since we're staying in Paranaque, we opted for the one that's near our place.

Garlic Butter Shrimp (Dampa style)

My ultimate favorite! When I was pregnant, I tried to eat shrimps and I regretted it! I was never allergic to seafood so I thought it's okay. The result? My body, especially my tummy area, itched like hell! And yes, hello to stretchmarks! :( Although I'm not sure if there are any medical studies about having allergic reactions to seafood while pregnant, I just can't resist! Soooo yummy!
