Hinubarang Lechon & New Food Finds

What do you think happens on a Saturday night when ghouls and zombies start to roam freely, chasing princesses and fairies into oblivion and ignoring bucketful of chocolates and mallows and cookies ... then zeroing on a helpless pig?

The skin being ripped off ... crunch, munch, crunch, munch, an endless cacophony of crunch and munch and the loud smacking of lips afterwards. At least the ghouls were kind enough to leave the poor pig's face alone so that it can have, at least some pride and dignity.




De La Viuda Bonbones. "Of the widow ..." A bit morbid sounding chocolate treat that hails from Spain. "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain." I just love this song from My Fair Lady.  The chocolates came from hubby's client. It has a very smooth melts-in-the-mouth texture and had a perfect blend of milk and chocolate that doesn't overpower one another.




Spaghetti Ramen and Jjajang Bokki Ramen. After the carnivorous dinner, daughter and I left for Greenhills to check out some books at Fully Booked and buy stickers (?) at Happy Lemon. Hahaha. As always, going to Greenhills won't be complete without visiting our fave Korean Grocery. Here's our latest food finds: Spaghetti Ramen and Jjajang Bokki Ramen (soybean flavor).




The spaghetti ramen tastes like the usual pork/beef ramen, except that you need to add tomato sauce to make it spaghetti-sh. More like ketchup-y taste to me than tomato sauce. And its not spicy also so kids can enjoy this, too. A nice alternative to the usual ramen. Italy meets korea. ;)

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

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! 

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!
