Part of a nation that regards home cooking as a precious tradition, Filipino homemakers are keen on giving members of their household only the best they deserve. These are people who understands that the value of a home-cooked meal lies in the effort spent preparing it. This is what you call passion.

Serving exquisite dishes made with the freshest ingredients, however, is better achieved with the proper appliances required. This is where the precision of technology comes in.

 

Recently, Rinnai, the no. 1 appliance brand in Japan since 1920, demonstrated its desire to elevate the way Filipinos prepare their household meals. In a launch held at SM Megamall Atrium, Rinnai delighted guests with a firsthand experience of the Japanese technology and precision its tabletop stoves, hobs, cooking ranges, and range hoods can offer.

They say that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It’s what fuels us to face the day with energy and positivity. It is basically a health conscious effort on your body. But with all the hustle and bustle that our generation goes through, yes, we do get to eat breakfast, but we do it in a way that we just grab a quick bite at drive-thru windows or maybe get something at the convenient store to eat along the way to work. This is something that we may all be guilty of.

But having Breakfast is not just a healthy thing for our body, but our family relationship as well. Eating together is a bond that cannot be replaced. You may eat with your friends, but dining with your family is something that will bring you much closer together. After all, having the most important meal of the day is also a good way to talk to each. This is a good way to make sure each member of your family is doing well.

There are studies that families that eat together have kids who are less likely to have depression or get an eating disorder. Talking over mealtime is a great stress reliever too, don’t you think? :)

Did you know that there are 50 to 100 ways to use bacon? Some can be used on salads, pastas, soup, sandwiches and even toppings on ice cream! I never knew this until I actually did a little research online. I love bacon so much and I think no breakfast is complete without it! :) If I could eat one breakfast food forever, I would instantly tell you, it’s B-A-C-O-N! It’s something about it that brings joy and like having a party every breakfast. :)
