I hate wasting food and woke up HUNGRY, so this easy sweet potato hash was the perfect brunch for using up leftover beef and cilantro from hot pot, a single purple sweet potato I had buried in my cupboard, some leftover cubed orange sweet potato and half a red onion in the fridge, and too …
Hong Kong Style Scrambled Eggs Sandwich with Fly by Jing Chili Oil (Discount Code Inside)
Silky scrambled eggs slathered in Sichuan chili crisp oil? YES PLEASE. If you’ve been following my videos, you know I absolutely love starting my day with fluffy eggs, and especially with a little drizzle of Fly by Jing’s chili oil for some heat and depth of flavor. So I had the idea of combining it …
Ham and Cheese Strata with Holiday Leftovers
The Family Stone is one of the most polarizing Christmas movies that exists. It’s filled with horribly cringe-worthy-but-can’t-stop-watching scenes and over-the-top personalities that you either love or hate (I personally love the movie even if Sarah Jessica Parker’s character can drive me insane). But anyone who HAS watched it will remember the infamous scene with …
Crispy Garlic Rice Waffles with Corned Beef & Egg (Corned Beef Silog Waffles)
It’s been over 5 years since I first put leftover garlic fried rice in my waffle iron, and life has never been the same. If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know I’ve been consistently encouraging you all to reheat cold rice by throwing it straight into your waffle iron to produce …
Filipino Garlic Fried Rice (Sinangag) 2 Ways – Rice vs. Cauliflower Rice
Growing up in a Filipino household, my favorite breakfast of all time is silogs or Filipino breakfast plates that pair a protein like sweet longganisa sausage or SPAM with sinangag (garlic rice) and itlog (fried egg).

Bacon Egg and Cheese Breakfast Paratha Taco
Today is officially my 28th birthday. It feels pretty weird considering I’ve just made a huge move to the other side of the world, and I’m separated from my family and most of my closest friends. Normally I’d plan a big trip out of the country followed by multiple celebrations for myself across my whole …
Chef’s Club Counter: Eggslut Grows Up into Alvin Cailan’s Paper Planes
There are breakfast sandwiches at every corner bodega in NYC, but when Eggslut – one of LA’s most popular breakfast spots – came to the East Coast by way of Chef’s Club Counter, it was a big deal that had everyone talking. For those unfamiliar, Chef’s Club Counter is a modern fast-casual spot that curates a limited …
Easy Avocado Toast with Sunny Side Up Egg
If it hasn’t already been obvious based on my prior posts, there are 2 food items that I have a disproportionate amount of love for: avocados and eggs. My friends have even joked that this blog is basically just me throwing an egg on top of everything, which is partially true, and so I’m fully embracing …
Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Hash Browns
As unbelievably sick and tired as I am of this terrible weather, another snowstorm = another day working from home = another opportunity to get creative with my breakfast. As you may have already guessed from one of my previous recipes, I’m a big fan of brussels sprouts. On a recent grocery trip, I ended …
