Bacolod Finds: Victoria's Ham & Vita's Butterscotch: YUMMEH!!

Two Christmases ago, my dad was gifted with a round Victoria's Ham.  My mom and my twin brother were raving about it saying that it was the best ham they've ever tasted.  They let me taste a slice, and I must say - it was really good!  My mom even saved the box, so she can order it - but there was no number on the box.  We searched online - got a Manila number, but when we called - no one knew what we were talking about!  Our efforts with the searches ran futile because we couldn't find anyone who knew the brand nor the product!


So three months ago, when my twin brother went on a trip to Bacolod, my mom specifically told him to look for the ham and buy some.  When he got home - he brought with him the ham, but instead of a round ham - it was sliced ham.  My mom and I were skeptical, but when we tasted it... IT WAS THE SAME HAM!!  It was love at first taste!  Too bad my twin only bought 2 packs - he thought it wasn't the right kind, so to be safe - he just bought two.

Can you guess how long the 2 packs lasted us?

Two freaking days!  And to think that we were saving it!


We were so happy to learn that a friend of my twin was coming to Manila from Bacolod - he then asked his friend Neil - to buy us some.   Yehey!!

Last November, my twin announced that the hams were arriving that day.  We were all excited but my mom was the most excited!  Hahaha...  She immediately asked the driver to pick up the hams in Greenhills.

Thank you Neil!  You sure made my mom giddy with delight!


He also bought us some packs of Vita's Butterscotch - they're the yummiest too!  The trick was  - to heat it slightly in the oven.  Heating makes the butterscotch taste like magic!!  Yummeh!!!!! :)

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...
