Confession: Last year, I intentionally limited my food shots in Instagram and in Facebook. I guess I wanted to put a premium to which dishes are worthy of being shared and deserve the attention from online & offline friends. When I was going through my IG gallery prior to crafting this post, I wanted to do a Top 3 Food List for 2015 but it was difficult to zero in on just 3. It just wouldn't work so I decided to stretch it to 5.
I love love love food! I share this passion with every other foodie out there. While I do like to watch what I eat, I make sure that I do not deprive myself of this guilty pleasure. I can be adventurous, but I am also a creature-of-habit on days when I feel like so. If something captures my taste buds and my heart, I would often say, "Oh my gosh. I can have this every day at hindi ako magsasawa! ( Trans: I will not get tired of eating it. )"
Without further ado, aside from Wine + Cheese, Pork Adobo, and Kimchi Ramen, these were my 5 favorite go-to comfort treats slash guilty pleasures in 2015. I must have had each of them at least 7 times last year. It could be hard to believe, but they bring so much delight that it just felt like there was a party in my mouth. Some of my friends had the pleasure of enjoying these meals when they willingly gave in to my cravings. They made weekends extra special and long work-related road trips something to look forward to. They kept me sane. And obviously, they made my heart and tummy super happy that having them was almost like an affair ...

How delicious these food look! It seems not a good idea when you want to sleep and then you see all these yummy photos. I'll take a look at these again come morning to whet my appetite. :-)
The Mango Sago is one of my must have dessert and I cant get bored of.
Wow! All that is getting me hungry. Bulalo is one of my favorites which I haven't eaten in a while. Love your pictures. Food looks extremely delicious! Keep it up. Thanks for sharing.
All those foods in your post is making me hungry. It's almost dinner time here and I would love the recipe for a few of those dishes so I can try them myself one day.
All the food on your page is making me hungry but it looks oh so delicious. I'd love to get a few of the recipes so I can try them on my own.

I love food too. I don't mind spending money on food. I think it's an experience and not a necessity.
I would glad to have them all. But if I were to choose one, I would go with Bulalo. I always melt whenever the sweet aroma and the amazing taste of the soup and beef touch my tongue. Now I'm salivating.
I love mango sago! It's my favorite just next to the almond jelly with fruit cocktail in Chinese restaurants. We have dined in at The Hong Kong Chef a long time ago. I wonder if they have new specialties. :)
The pictures look amazing, trust me I doubled up my mean aftering reading this post!
Your photos are really awesome! You were able to capture just how delicious the food is! Haha! Now I'm craving too :D
Spanish Sardine with Kesong Puti looks really tasty and good combination. Bulalo would always be a classic favorite.
What delish comfort foods! I miss PH even more.. Can't even get bulalo and real mango here in the cold north. :P Craving for all the items on your list!
I will keep these places in mind next time we go out to eat. I was looking for a bulalo place for my foreign guest who specifically asked for it. Now I know where to bring him when he comes back.
Oh my Goodness!!! Its 9:45pm here and I haven't had my dinner yet and your post is making me very very hungry. The first pic is totally and the power breakfast is awesome as well.
Bulalo! :) all time favorite! Did you know that you made me hungry by this one right now? Haha I wish I could just make instant bulalo. hahah
Mango sago has to be my favorite dessert in any casual dining Chinese restaurant!Super happy to see it make the list!
My favorite comfort food is pizza. I also love me a good cheeseburger sometimes, too!
Everything looks delicious. The Mango Sago dessert is mouth watering.
I would love to try any of these, the Mango Sago looks like something I could just devour!
That pork looks absolutely fabulous. ALL of these photos are making me hungry, though. Yummo.
All of those meals look delicious. I know I personally have to limit my time looking at delicious recipes online. I would gain so much weight if I gave in to making every recipe I love.
Glad I already ate supper or else, my stomach will be complaining look at these yumy food. I'd love to try the mango sago!
Love all the photos. you're a talented photographer. My fave is the first pic. Looks SO juicy and delicious. MMM
I could really see how you love food! Same here! I would love to try all these five dishes.
Goodness gracious, all of those dishes have my tummy rumbling. It's almost 4 am and your post is making me so hungry. I might have to eat early.
Mmm,I love looking at food pictures. I have to keep my actual consumption of food to a minimum, but looking at delicious photos is calorie-free!
Yum! I am a sucker for comfort food. I might have try one of these recipes on a cold afternoon!
This food all looks so amazing. I want to try it all.

All of these look very good! The very first photo with the pork looks amazing! I would love to try that out soon. Yum!
These all look amazing! One of the great things about travel, whether you go down the road, across the country or around the world-is experiencing and trying new foods!
I love me some comfort foods. Tonight we are indulging in stuffed crust pizza, one of my favorites.
I have never heard of some of these food dishes before, but that Mango Sago looks delicious! I love mangoes. :)
Each one of those photos showed some truly beautiful and delicious looking food. Comfort food makes my heart smile.
I really shouldn't read this kind of stuff first thing in the morning. Now I'm hungry and all of this looks really great!
Those look like some really tasty meals. It all looks so good.
I haven't heard of half of these foods...but I'll tell you that my stomach is rumbling! I didn't have the greatest lunch so I'm getting hungry just looking at some of these!
I love food! lol Never had mango Sago before though! I love eating mangoes so I bet this would taste good!
I want to go out to eat with you! These all look so good!
Oh these all look amazing - I have to admit anyting with cheese is my comfort food.
omg you are making me so hungry! I have never even heard of half of these dishes but the mango one sound delicious!
I want to go out and eat with you! Then I wouldn't feel like someone was judging me for taking tons of photos of what I'm eating. Love your photos!
I haven't had any of these dishes but they all look yummy. I checked out your Instgram and applaud you for being able to pick just 5, it would have been super tough for me.
These all look like guilty pleasure indeed. Yummy!!! I have to admit though the top picture with the pork is the one that made my mouth water. Thanks for sharing your guilty pleasures.
I need to get out more often! I haven't had any of these dishes and there are a few I haven't even heard of before!
They all look delicious :)
Your power breakfast looks so delicious! Well all the food does actually. =)
I think zeroing in on just 3 (or 5) comfort foods is hard. I would have to stretch it to 10 maybe. Hold up…Starbucks has French Toast???
I've never heard of Bulalo but that looks really good. My comfort food is some good ole baked mac n' cheese. Nothing says comfort like that.
