REFLECTIONS: TICOfusion is evolving into fusing world cuisine

When TICOfusion was born, I had it in my mind to take popular Tico dishes and modify them to include dishes I've had in the US or while travelling the world. Tico dishes are quite simple, and I was missing the varied dining experiences I had so easily in San Francisco.

Almost a year later, I've ran out of Tico dishes to fuse and I am getting bored! So, TICOfusion has evolved into fusing world cuisine. Now you will see recipes & meal suggestions with a lot of influence from my Filipino and Spanish upbringing. You will also get a peak into some of the dining experiences we've had as we traveled around the globe sans Tico food.

Some of our memorable dining experiences:

  • Court of 2 sisters, New Orleans before Katrina hit (we've been back after Katrina & it was somehow different...perhaps we felt the sadness that still lingers).
  • Some restaurant in a moder building with a view of the Eiffel Tower, Paris
  • Another restaurant in the Latin Quarter, Paris - looking for the name.
  • Highlands Inn, Carmel - the Tapas were great
  • The Boulevard, San Francisco
  • Prime Rib at the Hilton at SFO - sorry it's now gone after they expanded the International terminal
  • Lena's in Bora Bora
  • More coming on this list
