taiwan sausageOriginally uploaded by annalyn. I caught the last day of the World Bazaar Festival last Sunday at the World Trade Center and made one of my most important food discoveries of the year: the Taiwan sausage in choices of pork or chicken. It is simply so yummy that I've been eating it everyday for five days. A dozen cost only P160 pesos and is available in Chinese deli shops like DEC's deli and Shin Tong Yang on Gandara St. Binondo.ice barOriginally uploaded by annalyn.

You Know It’s Almost Christmas When…
There is something about the Manila Christmas this year which is a bit more somber than the previous years. Just the same, we have to get on with the business of buying Christmas presents because it's called for by tradition.

(It's a wonder how I make the time). Hopefully, this will motivate me to spend more ... Continue Reading...

Good to hear that Bridget ends up on the altar with dashing Mark Darcy despite fact that she's bumbling, clumsy, and jealous of Rebecca who turns out to be a lesbian.Blimey! Movie really has absurd plot, including one of Bridget being jailed in Thailand and Mark rescuing her like some knight in shining armor.But I loved the laughs and I like the soundtrack so I must say watching movie was as good as reading book, ehmm, four ...

One folklore has it that fishermen in the southern coastal towns of Italy traded their freshly-caught anchovies for the pleasure of a woman's company when they couldn't afford to pay the money up front. With all those anchovies, members of the world's oldest profession then found a way to make it into the zesty, piquant puttanesca sauce.From reading, I found out that there ... Continue Reading...
