    There are some places you don’t really “discover.” You just keep going back to them. La Casa del Abuelo is one of those for me. Not because it’s new. Not because it’s trendy. But because, somehow, it always works. I usually go to the same one in the centre. They have a few around, but…

    I’ve realised something about myself over time. The food I go back to… is never just about the food. It depends on where I am in the world. What I’m craving. What mood I’m in. Even what kind of day I’ve had. But somehow, I always circle back to the same kind of things. Most…

    Paella, pulao, biryani, and everything in between. I had a small realisation recently, and once it clicked, I couldn’t unsee it. I am going through a massive rice phase. For over a month now, I’ve been eating rice pretty much every day. At least one meal for sure, sometimes even both. And honestly? I have…

    Last Saturday, I went to Krachai for lunch with a friend, and it turned into one of those meals that stays with you.
