Imagine a mountain range built like ricefields… Imagine a mountain, instead of trees, you find sloping ricefields… That’s how the Banaue Rice Terraces look like. No matter what new surveys would say, about the new wonders of the worlds, I still feel that the Banaue Rice Terraces is one of the wonders of the world. It is a breathtaking sight, the rice scientist in me would always look up to for inspiration. They have been here for thousands of years, and continue to exist despite my miniscule contribution to the science.

World famous rice terraces – the stairways to the gods

Etag – the local ham or bacon, salted then smoked

Mangoes and local oranges

Thanks for reading my blog. I'm a corn breeder who also loves to eat and cook. Most of the recipes in this blog are dishes that I have cooked in my own kitchen. This blog is an off shoot way way back in 2007 when as PhD student, I had a major writer's block for writing my dissertation. So instead I turned into blogging my exploits in the kitchen. I've come long way then. getting my PhD and currently cooking in my third kitchen so far. My dog, named Pasta and I are based in Phitsanulok, Thailand.
