Oodles for Noodles with Nongshim Shin Toomba

 ...and I am back! I honestly thought that I was ready to hang my writing cap and end my blogging era but somehow, I really cannot get myself to stop writing and I do hope there's still someone out there reading this. :)

So how has life been? The #AngKids are growing up really fast and things are just so busy on all fronts. One thing stays the same though -- my love for kdrama. There are times though that I'd get so exhausted to watch through one episode but I still do love watching kdramas as a form to relax at the end of a busy day. Add to the fact that I normally end up craving for Korean food more often than not after watching the male or female lead enjoy cups after cups of ramyeon or as they would sink their teeth into a piece of juicy chimak.

I'm also always on a look out for new K-snacks to share with my chinggus and recently, I chanced upon this pack of new flavor from Nongshim called the Shin Toomba. It's inspired by a certain viral social media recipe that is spicy, creamy and so savory at the same time. We actually have tried a pasta that tastes similar to it from a neighborhood cafe which calls it Toowoomba Pasta and I think this might be it. It has a rose-like color and has a very comforting creamy texture with a mild spicy kick well mixed into the al dente pasta. The kids enjoyed it! J even asked us how to make it and we told him that he needs to keep on visiting the cafe to figure it out. Haha! 

While watching Melo Movie and Lightshop Keeper (what are you watching right now?), Paul and I tried a new pack of Nongshim Shin Toomba and we loved it! I can note that it has a mix of garlic and parsley flavor and the spicy sauce has just the right amount of heat that gives it a more interesting taste profile -- Spicy Creamy Kick, I would say. I loved it so much that I also got my chingu Ria a pack to try. I'll soon also be sharing this with chingus Lara and Mela too! 

The best way to enjoy this is to cook the noodles and drain out the water a bit thus retaining a small amount in the pan. Mix the garlic powder and the spicy sauce well and turn off the heat. Let the sauce thicken while coating the noodles evenly and... enjoy! 

Nongshim Shin Toomba can be found in most Korean convenient store in town.

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
