  • Bio: Joann Natalia Aquino is a freelance writer covering lifestyle, fashion, food and wine, travel and the arts. She loves life, 80s music, playing at the beach, watching sunset and breaking bread over wine. She can be reached at missaquino@gmail.com.
  • Favorite Foods: I enjoy a variety from fresh sushi and izakaya foodstuff, handmade pasta with tomato-base sauce, cioppino, various salads with grilled fish, fresh ceviche and poke, Vietnamese bun with tofu, pinakbet (Filipino ratatouille), fish sinigang (tamarind-base stew), poi (with a little sugar), chapchae with banchan, sweet and savory crepes, veggie-stuffed naan, a really good thin-crust pizza, fried green tomato, chevre with fresh figs or grilled peaches, etc. For dessert, I love fresh fruit tart, cherry clafoutis, zabaione and anything with berries. All of those as much as possible eaten with a glass of wine or two. Cheers.
