how to make DIY cheap cappuccino

a month ago, i bought an 88 peso milk foamer because i was curious if it really works. to my surprise, this el cheapo gizmo works wonders! i had my first spill-free DIY cappuccino hehe..

here’s what you need:
- milk (fatty milk creates more foam. cow head’s so far my creamy choice)
- freshly ground coffee beans
- coffee machine (cheap one will do, because i’m cheap)
- milk foamer/whisker/whatever you call it

1) brew coffee. a spoonful of ground coffee for every half cup of water.
2) heat milk in a microwave. don’t forget to put cover if you don’t want to end up cleaning the mess later.
3) use the electric whisker on your milk until you are satisfied with the foam.
4) pour brewed coffee into mugs, then add your foamy milk.
5) dust cinnamon over your beverage, if you like. add sugar as desired.

voila! el cheapo cappuccino.

it’s been a while since i last had a yan-yan snack, and now they come with cute fortune lines! “black ink” does not sound like a fortune, tho.

visayas backpacking: iloilo & bacolod


we arrived in jaro city, iloilo around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. the vans share the terminal with the ceres buses coming from caticlan, it’s just a matter of spending a bit more on fast airconditioned vans.

we weren’t able to look around iloilo since i wasn’t able to do any research about it, the trip here was nothing more than a jump off to bacolod city. we weren’t feeling adventurous at that time and it was running a little late, so instead of riding a few jeepneys to the sea port, we took a cab and headed straight to the port.

there are 2 fastcrafts going to bacolod almost every hour, you may check their schedules by visiting their websites or call them directly if you want to be sure.

bacolod napoleones and french macaroons

i’m not really a fan of sweet pastries, but here’s a few yummy finds that’s worth your money– i thunks : )

Napoleones


one of bacolod’s raved sweets. who needs krispy kreme when you can have one of these? : ) no need to fly over to bacolod to get some. there’s a booth in sm west’s the Block, it’s beside the 2nd floor escalator, it think.

French Macaroon

pastry is my friend gerald’s specialty, and this is one of his yummy products. this is the same as the ones you find at bizu, but he sells them WAAAAAY cheaper. these are available in a variety of flavors, and of course i chose coffee. tastes like coffee and vanilla cream, feels like melting meringue. yummilicious!
