I’ve been reading all about the write-up about Seeing Straight Without Breaking Bank and I just can’t believe why Zenni Optical in the New York Times?!, well maybe because, they only sell high quality prescription glasses for only $8. Yes a Prescription eyeglasses for only $8!. Zenni Optical is the most trusted source of online prescription eyeglasses.

Taho

Is made of fresh soft tofu, and topped with tapioca and brown sugar syrup (sago at arnibal). It is usually peddled in the morning and mamang magtataho usually shouts the word tahooo.

I bought this Taho at Heung Fa Chun in Philadelphia’s Chinatown in Arch Street.

I made my own tapioca pearls and brown syrup though… [I don't like what they put in it. It's like ginger syrup.]

I bought 3 pints lols. Shhhhsshh walang gyera no. I gave 1 pint to the Cheong household and 1 to Michelle and the rest yong isang pint? Inubos ko! Hehehe.

Heung Fa Chun is owned and operated by a Singaporean (I think) couple. Aside from taho they also sell other kinds of sweets. Like mung bean with taro, ma-chang, rice cakes, soya drink - well in fact they do sell pancit and congee here and it is very cheap, compared to the other stores. By the way, they do call taho, dofu - but since the couple has a few Filipino customers they do know it is also called taho with sago, well just in case you might be in Arch Street no.

Mango Salad

Since the weather is soooo nice and I kind of feel it’s summer already, I decided to make mango salad.

This salad is inspired of the Thai mango salad. Cause both salads have shredded mango and thinly sliced shallots. (I was really craving for that Thai mango salad that I had when I was in Bangkok years ago.) And whenever I am in a Thai restaurant I still ask for the mango salad - too bad, nobody makes it around here.

My version wasn’t that good compared to the one that I had back then. I know that they even put crablets in it, and where the hell am I going to find that? Instead I replaced it with Bagoong [anchovies].

Philadelphia eats…

It is really trying hard to get peoples attention. (Even if it’s recession?) Yes Philadelphia’s restaurant week has been extended for another week of deals– $35 scores you three courses and that extention is through Feb.6. Not everybody though is participating.

$35 for three courses is not bad at all. (El Vez would be first on my list.) Specially of you have a finacier like– MONAYYYY! Hoy come out let’s eat at El Vez!!! Ikaw ang taya, ako na nagyaya eh!
