Hello guys, 'Kaon Ta...' is back! After months of silence (due to lots of work, December diet and holiday budget constraints), I'm now back with some recipes for you. Yep, I miss cooking. I miss bringing food in the office and i miss eating a lot. =)

"Sunod na problemahon ang diet if duol na ang summer", hehe!
