The Marketplace + honestbee = Noche Buena Shopping!

One of the things I really enjoy is going to a grocery or supermarket.  I would walk the aisle one by one if I had time.  I don't consider it a chore but instead consider it as a 'treat'.  But right now, having three kids - (one of them is a new baby) well - I need to manage my time really well.  There are times that we run out of certain random things around the house.  Before I can easily go to the supermarket and buy it - now, I need to consider will my baby wake up?  Will she want to feed?  Do I pump?  Or there are times that even if I plan it out, doesn't go smoothly because my baby is suddenly clingy that day.



My routine has suddenly changed, I honestly am not liking it - but what can I do right?  Thank goodness though for honestbee!  With honestbee, I am given back my time - time spent in picking up my son from school and bonding him on the way home and quality time spent with the new addition to the family.  I have to say, having bigger kids and a newborn - it's a freaking logistics nightmare.   Add to that the Christmas rush traffic and our lack of house help.







That is why, I am so giddy with excitement that I can now do my Christmas Noche Buena grocery shopping at The Marketplace via the honestbee app!  It's simply WONDERFUL really, truly WONDERFUL!  Now, all I need to do is tap on the items that I wish to purchase on the app and voila - all I need to do is wait for my purchases to arrive.  Amazing right?  The Marketplace is loaded with premium items from a wide selection.  They have fresh produce, deli items, wines and spirits and so many more!  It's everything we just a tap away and delivered right to our doorsteps.

Fan-freaking-tastic!!

So what are you waiting for?  Plan and add to cart all of those goodies that you need for your noche buena shopping at The Marketplace via the honestbee app.  Do it NOW!!

Hey, don't forget the wine!!

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...
