Sunday once again

a hectic Sunday it is!

Woke up at 6:30AM to be early for this year's round of blood test and ultrasound. We were done by 10Am (finally!)

When we got back to my grandmother's place, we got a call from my uncle who is due back to the States, inviting us over for lunch. Since we only see him once in a couple of years, and he came back just to see my Dad, we had to go to the send-off lunch.

Lunch consists of Lechon Cebu (suckling roasted pig)

Lechon originated from the spanish term leche

- Melts in your mouth succulent pork meat

Pancit Malabon

Pancit Malabon is a stir-fried noodle dish, which originated in Malabon City, Philippines. It has a yellow-orange color due to a sauce that includes patis (fish sauce) and crab fat. Toppings may include fresh shrimp, squid, oysters, and hard-boiled duck or hen eggs, as well as pork or chicharon ( dried then fried pork rinds)

Their Ashitaba plants

Ashitabas are seen as a major contributor to the supposedly healthier, extended lives of the local residents what may be based on its substantial levels of vitamin B12[citation needed] and chalcones that are unique to this species of angelica. This plant is being studied for nerve growth factor, cancer, menopause, and a sundry of disease conditions.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Ironic Cafe Monaco

Tucked in one of the building along Banawe is a quaint restaurant called Cafe Monaco. From the outside, the interiors looked cozy and perfect for hanging out with friends but I was quite surprised when I stepped inside to find out that most tables were occupied by families. And people actually are willing to wait for their turn to be seated! Kudos for that. My basis for choosing a restaurant is based on the line/wait. If the line is long or the waiting list is long, then it must be worth trying. We ate dinner at this restaurant yesterday evening and I actually loved it! It's a bit weird though that the name of the restaurant is Cafe Monaco but they serve a lot of Korean dishes. My aunt said that the owner of the place married a Korean hence the menu with Korean dishes. We tried bibimbap and at first bite, it was okay but the more you chew the better it gets. Healthy too, with little meat in the dish. Prices are friendly on the pocket too so I will definitely go back to try out thei...
