Siguro nagtataka kayo bakit ganyan ang title ng blog ko ngayon....
Ganyan yan,kasi nababaliw na ako...at kung ano ano na lang ang gusto kong sabihin...
joke lang...

ang totoo nyan..yan ang mga simpleng pagkain na gustong gusto ko....
hanggang ngayon...dahil malapit sa puso ko ang mga alaala ng mga simple ,mura, pero masasarap na pagkain na yan dito sa pinas....

Banana cue...gustong gusto ko to, kasi madalas dalawang saging na saba na pinrito na nababalutan ng asukal ang nakatusok sa iisang stick. minsan pa nga pag sinuswerte,tatlo..:)..lagi ko naalala ang mga tao na hinahatian ko nung isa sa dalawang pirasong saging na yun..na nagbibigay ng saya...ung pamangkin ko na mahal na mahal ko, si mama,mga kamaganak, yung aso ko na sobra takaw,at mga kaibigan ko at mga ex ko na minahal ko...at sa tuwing kumakain ako muli ng bananacue, lagi ko naalala na dalawa yun saging dun, para matuto kang magbigay ng kung anu mang meron kang biyaya sa buhay, kasi andun ung totoong saya....

Polboron... naranasan mo na ba sumipol habang me pulburon sa bibig...haha..nakakatawa di ba?saka masarap. :)
pag kumakain ako ng pulburon,lagi ko sya minamasdan, muka syang buo pag nakabalot pa, pero pag binuksan mo na,dapat dahan dahan at maingat mo rin syang kakainin, kasi konting hawak lang, nadudurog na...pwedeng matapon, liparin at masayang.... at sa tuwing kumakain ako ng polboron...naalala ko kung gaano kahalaga pahalagahan ang pagtitiwala sa yo ng isang tao....
tulad ng polboron oras na masira mo to, mahirap na ibalik sa dati nang porma, kaya dapat mo ingatan ang tiwala sa yo ng mga nagmamahal sa yo para mapakinabangan at di masayang.


Adobong mani....me pagka adik ata ako sa mani e, kasi tuwing me nagbebenta ng mani, di pedeng di ako bibili...lalo na ung bagong luto, sabi kasi ng titser ko noon pampatalino yun...
baka nga dahil dun kaya ako matalino haha...pero alam mo ba na ang mani rin kahit konti ,nakakabusog agad..totoo yan kahit iresearch mo pa sa google...

naalala ko nung bata ako, para mas makatipid ako sa baon ko, bibili muna ako ng mani, para..mabusog agad ako at di ako bibili ng kung ano anong tsitsirya at laruan na di ko naman talaga kailangan....
Kaya siguro hanggang ngayun matanda na ako, bumibili ako lagi ng adobong mani...para lagi ko iniisip kung ano ang mas mahahalaga sa buhay...
yung limang pisong mani, nagpapaalala sa akin, na di sa maraming maraming pera, ang kailangan ko para makuntento...

tama nga siguro si titser, nakakatalino yung adobong mani...
kasi kada me hawak ako nun, lagi ko iniisip na maraming magagandang bagay sa mundo na kahit hindi mahal ay yun ang mas mahalaga....tulad ng mga tunay na na nagmamahal sa atin, dahil un ang tunay na nagpapabusog ng puso...tulad ng pagkabusog ko sa limang pisong adobong mani...


banana cue, polboron at limang pisong adobong mani. Simple man ito pero masarap....at makatikim man ako ng pinakamamahal na pagkain sa buong mundo,di ko ito ipagpapalit..dahil malapit ito sa puso ko..at sa mga naituro nito sa akin ...at sana sa iyo na rin....


at isang magandang awit para sa magagandang alaala ...:)

It's always nice to look back on our childhood days....

the innocent laughters, the fascination for new things, the simple joys...

I remember when I was still in elementary, after school, all of my friends are so excited
to buy stuff from vendors outside our school..
we always run to buy
"ICE SCRAMBLE"!...(it's a Filipino dessert made of crushed ice, milk, sugar and toppings)

My best buds and me enjoyed this delicious treat.It's cheap yet very delicious.
Sarap kumain habang kasama mo mga kaibigan mo na nagkakasiyahan.

however that was the time when it was safe to buy Ice Scramble from vendors.Those were the days when water was much cleaner, without risk of being sick

I love to eat this dessert even up to now.That's why I was so ecstatic when I recently found out, when I went to the mall,
that you can buy ice scramble easily through SCRAMBLE KING. Plus you are sure that it is safe and clean.
The simple ice scramble has now evolved and has great different flavors! amazing.
Ranging from chocolate, buco pandan, strawberry, vanilla, mocha and so much more
and you can even choose a wide array of toppings like chocolates, candy sprinkles, nuts etc.

Every time I buy scramble from SCRAMBLE KING, I feel like a child again...

Reminiscing the times when simple things makes us happy...
After all , life is not about how much you spend,
let's learn from the smiles of children eating ice scramble :)
...its about how much of your life you enjoyed and shared.

Now you know what I ate last summer.


And a nice song to start your day right.
Always remember that there is always the child in you no matter how old you are.Keep smilin :)

so I could decently earn dough to enjoy my life, and share whatever I have to the people I love...
(by the way thanks to those who joined my event last sat, because of you guys I was able to buy a cool bicycle for my nephew Max )

I say I am quite lucky because aside from the cool stuff I got (and shared to my clients & staff) from my event partner EVER BILENA and CARELINE last saturday during my OPEN PHOTOSHOOT EVENT BGLAM PROJECT

"food that warms the heart is the best tasting of all".... -tami ballesteros

I am always fascinated about food. I always try different dishes...

even the most exotic ones...I think food is a reflection of one's desire to serve other people.
because honestly, you cant prepare a good dish, without the heart & passion for it...
kaya nga di ba they always say PAG masarap ang luto mo "pwede ka ng mag asawa..."

as I was browsing my facebook accounts, I chance upon this great looking pic of a cake held by a korean girl, apparently, it was a birthday gift to her by a friend by the young upcoming chef CLYDEN SAN PEDRO which apparently is my facebook friend as well...

so we chatted for a lil while and we exchanged thoughts on how we both appreciated our crafts, mine on visual arts and him with culinary arts...

at such a young age, I know that he will go far.He can do all sorts of stuff with ingenuity. Cheesecakes, chocolate cakes, mouth watering cookies,great tasting biscuits and more.... uses different flavors that will surely wet your appetite.
look at his works so you'd know what I mean.




He will also be doing our celebration cake for my BGLAM OPEN PHOTOSHOOT EVENT
this coming saturday and I will be posting it here soon what his masterpiece will be. I'm pretty sure its great. The cake is FASHION INSPIRED.... because my OPEN photoshoot is SUPERMODEL THEMED

if you're interested to have these GREAT LOOKIN AND TASTIN masterpieces BY YOUNG UPCOMING CHEF CLYDEN
a great VALENTINE GIFT IDEA!!!

I never knew until now that there is such a thing as edible gold...hmmmm...you can prepare it in several ways, in your drinks, main courses, or desserts such as that in the picture...

the cake above is called...UNNAMED CAKE by the KARAT CHEF Topped with The Most Noble Heart (a chocolate heart studded with diamonds)a significant piece of art which symbolizes our ancestor's noble cause of rebellion several centuries ago. This Masterpiece is composed of Russian, Swiss, Japanese, American, Polish, and Indian chocolates, as well as local cocoas from Batangas and Davao. coated with 24k Pure Edible Gold and Studded with 15 Purely Labor of Love African Diamonds ...valued cost is Php 124 thousand.

Nice no?
Pwede rin kaya to sa adobo???kidding.Problem is...what if malunok ko yung diamonds? (what if i swallowed the diamonds?). :P

Here I am again, satisfying my desires for food...and siomai!!!
so I decided to eat at North Park Chinese Resto at Glorietta 5..I ate a lot of stuff there...The place is quite packed. But still they managed to accomodate us, I ordered chicken feet, siomai, egg noodles with beef, spring rolls, iced tea, soy chicken and rice served with special ginger sauce....the food was great and it's quite reasonable for the price....I really had a big tummy after eating..but hey it's worth it...I don't believe in dieting.haha. as long as you know how to burn what you eat, its OK to eat a lot once in a while, especially if it's yummy.... I give North Park Glorietta 5 8 spoons out of 10, needs more improvement on cleaning up their tables, maybe they dont have enough staff, but overall its good. We didnt waited for so long to have our food served. Im gonna go back. Wanna join??? :P
