Spotlight | Homewoods Creation + a Giveaway!

I'm no interior designer, and I'm no Martha Stewart, either. But I do know good furniture when I see one. Take for example the furniture pieces in Doug and Cheska Kramer's new home.

I first saw the photos on Cheska's Instagram, then afterwards in an episode of Kris TV, where the couple gave a tour of their new home. I took note of who made their furniture (or where they bought it), with hopes that one of these days, I will also be busy shopping for furniture for our new home. (Dreams do come true, don't they?)

And in case the furniture you need is not available in their Makati showroom, then they can make one for you, just the way you want it! (And just the way the Kramers wanted theirs!)

Foodie Goodie | Soy Garlic Chicken.

If you're following me on Instagram, then perhaps you recall seeing this picture which I posted a few days ago.

Spell Y-U-M-M-Y! :)

Yep, that's my Home-cooked Soy Garlic Chicken, and my friends went gaga over that photo. I practically made a few of them drool while ogling on their smartphones, haha. One of my mommy friends at school even asked if I really was the one who cooked them, since they looked like they were bought from a restaurant (ergo, BonChon).

This dish is pretty easy to cook, actually. The recipe isn't even a secret because all you need is a pack of McCormick Korean Fried Chicken Recipe Mix, which can easily be bought at groceries and supermarkets. They sell somewhere around Php 39, if I'm not mistaken.

KPop Chicken! 

The first time I came across this product was when I attended the 2PM Press Conference at The Manila Hotel. McCormick was one of the event sponsors, and their fried chicken dishes were among those served at the buffet table.

McCormick's Korean Fried Chicken Recipe Mix comes in four variants - Spicy, Kimchi, Bulgogi, and Soy Garlic, which is the one I used for that dish. Each variant has two packs inside it - Pack 1, which contains the batter mix, and Pack 2 which contains the flavored sauce. Oh, and the instructions are illustrated on the pack, too.

Easy as 1,2,3,4!

And with that, I need not go all the way to Alabang Town Center (where the nearest BonChon branch is located) whenever I feel like eating Soy Garlic Chicken. As long as I have chicken in the fridge and this recipe mix in my pantry, then I'm good!
