Great news for people who are looking for high quality eyeglasses with reasonable pricing

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!

A taste of the island - Ya Mon!

Last Saturday I so busy, then I got this call from a friend [Jude] asking if I can go and eat out with them around 6-ish. I said yes! Kung libre ba no? Hehehe… (I really have no plans of going out, even to eat out. Pagoda tragedy at nilalamig ang ate ninyo. Cause you know, these days I was feeling a little - little lang ha, stressed ba. I promised myself that I will have a therapy on that Saturday.) *Sinusompong talaga ako these days ng ka-O-C-han ha!!!* Naglinis ako, wala akong pakialam - Well it’s better than drowning my sorrows with alcohol na walang lasa no? *HIK*

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you. Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama. Key largo, Montego baby why dont we go.

As soon as you enter the restaurant

-This you will see…, Now I can’t wait to be seated and sip that lustfully Bahamarita! But on the sekantots, it’s soooo pa-sweet, not my kind of drink!

This I preffer! *Inumin ng tunay na lalake - HIK* Nothing beats this freshly squeezed lime, fresh spearmint (Sana hindi pinitas sa kapit-bahay?) fresh sugar cane and fresh RUM lol with a splash and dash of fresh ripe tropical mango.

Middle Easrtern Food: Norma’s

Little you guys did know, Iyoung is a huge fan of Middle Eastern food! Why? Tinatanong pa ba yon? It delicious it’s healthy wahahaha kelan pa ako naging health freak? Well it is much healthier compared than Pinoy food na sobrang greasy at kung anik-anik taktak-tak right?

Over time in the Middle East there have been political conflicts between the Jews and the Palestinians over land [Arab-Israeli conflict], but did you guys also know that they’re also fighting for food? Since Israel claimed that Falafel is their national snack. OMG FCOL these conflicts have been around ages noh ano ba and we all know that. Falafel can be an Israeli food or Arab food - I don’t know and I don’t care, Falafel has been there for ages and all I care about is how delicious it is made by one of my neighboring Middle Eastern restaurant run by Palestinian chefs originally from Israel.

Akkkkk enough of the politics! Yesterday afternoon we - I and America’s Top Monay had a lunch date at Norma’s Mediterranean restaurant

(You see whenever I am craving for good Mediterranean food, I go to Norma’s. Their not too pricey. They’re food is good and it really gives me multi-orgasm sa sarap oh my gravey!!! Plus the server is si PAPA as in papable? Ekkk no it’s PAPAhadah lols.) Plus at some nights they have belly dancers dancing in the tune of Arabian nights wowoweeee. Lebanese Blond anyone?

Mimosa with a flare…

Mimosa is just simple, easy and delicious! But as always, I like having something with a twist. Instead of the usual chilled orange juice, I replaced it with orange peach mango and I love it. [Shempre love your own ha!] No really. I love it, since I have a sweet very very very sweet tooth.

Normally 3 parts of champagne and 2 parts of chilled orange juice are mixed

Mimosa is often served in a tall champagne flute, normally 3 parts of champagne and 2 parts of chilled orange juice are mixed, but not with us… We can chug it in any kind of glass we like with 5 parts of champagne and 1 part juice (since I am a proud member of alcoholics not so anonymous.) hehehe pwede din sa pint.

Tang inumin mo wag Dole!

Bibingka and Puto Bumbong

Last New Year’s eve we was on the “A-list invite” held at Robert’s mansion [It was potluck] and I decided to bring puto bumbong and bibingka I figured out that no one’s bringing any dessert aside from America’s Top Monay good ol’ cake ng ina nya.

Pramis nag-ala Martha Stewart/Julia Childs ako heheheh… We was a little late dahil nag-kayod pa ako ng niyog at kung ano ano pa *echos*

Here’s the uncooked bibingka and puto bumbongbong topped with cheese [Velveeta] and salted egg this is before I baked em’

Here’s the mix for the puto bumbong…

Roll each of em’ them like this… *Dapat pare-parehog sukat! Laki at taba.* para walang tampuhan lols. Then you can put them in a saucepan with water o diba parang palitaw!

Here’s the cooked version *O diba, parang talagang Julia Child… Kakapasok pa lang sa oven - paglabas luto na? Hahahaha ibang klaseng powers no?*
