a season of regrowth

wonder | wander | women are oceans apart once again, but for the first time in years we were able to spend the holiday season together. This year was intensely emotional for both of us. We were so happy to be able to see out 2025 and greet 2026 together.

Twinning for Christmas!

cozy winter comfort food

Living in multicultural cities, wonder | wander | women delight in finding all sorts of special cuisine from cultures all over the world. Still, we love to turn to a few comfort foods we've come to seek out when tiredness strikes and the cravings pop up.

heart finds, soul food

It's been so long since wonder | wander | women were back on our native island. We have truly adopted and been adopted by our new homes abroad, so it's taking us a while to relearn island living.

There's one thing that never fails to make us feel at home. Food, of course! Ilonggo (or Hiligaynon) food is distinctive from other regions of the Philippines. Each province has its own native flavours.

eating away

In times of trouble wonder | wander | women fortify ourselves with hearty home cooked meals we enjoy. When the weather is too hot or we are too lazy to cook for ourselves, we are lucky to live where they are a mere order away.

Summertime is the best season to indulge in fiestas from the grill. Seafood and veggies are our all-time faves. Tender juicy goodness to bite into and fill our bellies. Comfort food for our souls.
