Wait for more than a year

The bottle on the left is Plum with Mirin (Japanese sweet alcohol)
The middle is Plum with sugar and white liqueur
The right is Plum with sugar and vinegar. (Plum Syrup)
I have to wait at least one year. It will be better if its older.

Lettuce from Mr. Kawano

Lettuce on top was grown by Mr. Kawano who are working in a Japanese car campany "Daihatsu" as engineer and doing weekend farming.
He finished many of our farming courses that we (where I am working) are offering and sometimes visits us with fresh veges and Sake. :-)
The Lettuce was super tasty! 

Lunch for Hot Summer

Today's lunch is Salad Udon(Japanese noodle).
Very easy, just put salad on Udon noodle.
For sauce, I mixed creamy sesami dressing and Korean Gochujang chili paste. 

mall of Asia

Huge! 

Run!

Sometimes we are attacked by a big wave crushed into the bricks.
We had to run away from it coz seawater from Manila bay is obviously polluted. :-) 

Sun is setting in Manila Bay

We went to a newly opened super huge mall, SM mall of Asia.
It is just beside Manila bay.
After we shopped, we enjoyed the sea breeze there and could see beautiful sunset. 

Dinner at Marikit na

I reccomend you this restaurant "Marikit Na" if you wana eat good Filipino food.
Especially "Sinigang sa Miso" there is excellent! 

Boneless Bangus

My favorite Filipino dish, Boneless Bangus.
Y boneless? coz the structure of bone of this fish is really complecated and its very difficult to eat the fish if it still has bones. Have to put 2/3 of your energy for removing the bones. only 1/3 for enjoying the taste of fish.
So if you wana fully enjoy eating the fish then better to order Boneless Bangus.
This is marinated with Vinegar and Garlic and Chili (? I guess) and grilled.
Yammy! :-)~ 

Pancit for Loooong Life

Bouquet of Roses!

Birthday party!

I had my birthday there in the Philippines! June is birthday rush in the office, many of them got 1 year older than the last day.
The cake is beautiful but I haven't had any memory that any uf us ate it.
Where did the cake go?
Mistery. 

My first night in the Philippines was blessed with flood!

Long time no see my dear Phillippines!
I was in the Philippines only for 1 week to see my friends.
And the first night was blessed with flood.
Every one was having problem with this instant flood after a few hours of heavy rain. Once Manila has heavy rain, people have very difficult time to find way to get home.We luckily could find seats in a jeep going home and I was soooo happy with the jeepny ride and seeing all the cars running in the flood. It is as if cars are running in a river.
