Watermelon Seeds?

I haven't tasted butong pakwan for a long time (years na!) and upon seeing it being sold in a pasalubong store in Bulacan, I bought a small supot (P35). Of course na-excite si Isabel since fave nya ang watermelon. She find it also easy to crack open the seeds.

But thinking out loud, is it really watermelon seeds? Looks suspiciously different to me if you compare the seeds of a 'real' watermelon and the butong pakwan being sold. So what kind of a seed is it?

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

By
We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.
