In an unexpected twist of events, Feast Asia is now on print. No, not as a cookbook — not yet, anyway — but as a food column. Last week, I got a text massage message from the Lifestyle editor of Manila Standard Today (where I write an opinion column Tuesdays and Thursdays) asking if I was interested in writing a food column. I didn’t even need to think about it. I didn’t even negotiate about rates. I just said yes. And when I was asked what I want the food column to be called, I said Feast Asia. My first Feast Asia column came out today.
That said, let me tell you what’s new in Feast Asia, the food blog. I’ve mentioned the yakisoba entry earlier, now let me introduce to you the three latest recipes I posted there. First, the clams in ponzu sauce, a very easy to cook Japanese dish that makes you wonder why you’ve only cooked clams as a soup all your life.
Second, pandan-wrapped chicken — fried this time rather than oven grilled. Addictive stuff, really. And, lastly, a step-by-step guide on how to make taro puffs at home.
Want more? Stay tuned. Squid relleno and a few other mouth-watering dishes are next in the menu.
Congrats!

Hi Ms. Conny! May I share something with you that might be of interest? it’s about food history, written by a Chinese blogger. He writes about the significance of food in Chinese culture and religion, as well as other aspects of Chinese faith. His latest article is on the history of spring rolls.

Thank you all.
Jeremy, yeah, text message. When I was offered the opinion column back in 2005, it was via e-mail. So “today”, don’t you think?
COngratulations Miss Connie! It was nice meeting you at the Mavens Secret Seminar. You are a true Maven. Congratulations again and more success!
Nice to hear from you! Have you figured out the nameless persons I mentioned? HEHEHEHE
hi miss connie! wow! another interesting addition to your cooking site repertoire. congratulations!
ask ko lang? why not add your sites sa foodbuzz? i bet you’d get featured there in no time
Thanks, Raine. Re Foodbuzz: because they put a blog’s pages inside a frame. I really don’t like that.
Congratulations Connie on another adventure
Thanks, Dex. The cooking adventure never stops, does it? A wild ride, indeed!
Congratulations, Connie! You really rock! I’m an avid fan of your recipes. My daughter will try the self-frosting Nutella Cupcakes today.
I’m sure she’ll make a great batch and ruin your diet LOL!
