Happy Birthday!!

Last year, I was depreived of a birthday cake. Apparently, my Panget - forgot all about it. And so this year, I had to remind him to give me one. Two years ago, my Panget surprised me with a 'Didi' cake - I still keep the picture of it - because it was so cute, and because my Panget's sister-in-law told me how my Panget called her every single night to make kulit not to forget to make the cake, she said my Panget gave her explicit instructions on how the cake should turn out he was so hands on with the cake! It was a super cute cake! I love that cake to bits! Here's what it looked like:

Yesterday, I was expecting a simple cake - I told my Panget that Sugar House's Honey Cake or the good ol'reliable Hizon's Mocha Cake will do. I was expecting any of the two - but when he got to my house - he was holding a box - I'm assuming it's a cake. He told me that the cake is special. Hmm.. why was it special? Well, because in it was 2 flavors of cake! What's the rationale behind the 2 flavors? Well, since I have a twin brother - my Panget thought it would be nice if there were 2 different flavors of cake in the cake! His sister-in-law obliged of course, and what came out was a really nice combination. Since we were eating at Spiral at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza, I had put it in the ref first then sample it when I get back. But I couldn't help taking a quick look. My Panget insisted that I take a picture of the cake first - and I did. This is what it looks like:


When we got home after the delicious dinner at Spiral - I swear it has the best selection for a buffet! Too bad there were no more of the Vanilla Creme Brulee - apparently, they did not foresee that this dessert will be a favorite! As I sliced myself and my Panget a piece of the birthday cake he brought - I couldn't help but be amazed at it and try to figure out how she made such a cake! Brilliant!!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
