My Top 12 Dishes at the Ultimate Taste Test 2022


This year, we celebrated the 14th Ultimate Taste Test. I am glad to be invited again as a food critic to this event. The entries were all very impressive. I appreciate everyone's creativity with the new dishes they came up with, their passion for coming up with their products, and their exemplary skills in making artisanal food.

Japan x Rarindra Prakarsa

Early this year, I flew to Japan for a week for a modeling project. I still couldn't believe that I was able to work with a well-known photographer, Rarindra Prakarsa. He held his first workshop in Japan as he collaborated with Francis Ansing--one of the people whom I admire a lot for his photography skills; not to mention that he was also the first person who lent me a DSLR as I was trying to learn photography when I was in college. Sir Rarindra and Sir Francis are very humble in person and it was such an honor working with them.

Kue Kacang Siput (Snail Nut Cake)


In celebration of the Eid al-Fitr, majority of our Indonesian classmates went back to their hometown. When they came back, they brought home this delicacy from Indonesia as a "pasalubong" (souvenir) to us Filipinos.
