Auntie Cata's Green & Leafy Lettuce!

I am very picky when it comes to veggies. There are only a handful of veggies that I am willing to eat and one of them are lettuces!

Look at that beauty:

I noticed that my mom would get deliveries of fresh lettuces every so often. As it turns out, Auntie Cata - my mom's BFF, grows them in her home - using hydroponics! Brilliant right? It's not made in some facility far away - and is instead it's home made and home cared for! So I assure you, the quality is very very good. I noticed too that her lettuces don't brown that easily. Thank goodness for Auntie Cata's lettuces - we can have regular Taco Tuesdays now. Hihi.. :)

I am honestly wishing and hoping that Auntie Cata will venture into other veggies as well - like ARUGULA! Hahaha....

These lettuces are at P400.00/Kilo. Order at least 500grams for FREE DELIVERY!

You may reach Auntie Cata at +639175208096.

Before I forget, Auntie Cata also makes delicious Vietnamese Spring Rolls.

I can't stop gushing about how pretty her lettuces are, hihi:

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...
