Filipinos crave for fine-dining

Last sunday, it was Mother’s day, so when my sister and my brother in-law went home yesterday to cast her vote-yes, it’s election day yesterday in the third world...-she brought along a box of MANGO CASHEW roll from red ribbon...yum...

it’s a sponge cake drowned with ice-cream-like icing, topped with mango spots and cashews, i’m in love ( i know, it doesn't look very nice in this photo, but it's totally yummy)....




so by 3pm yesterday, my sister went to her designated precinct, i joined just to observe things.Along the way to the precinct, there were food kiosks scattered selling all sorts of foods, foods that my dear friend Tet loves (..haha..). There were isaw ( grilled chicken intestines), balut (duck embryo), peanuts, coolers and a mish-mash of street food treats. I was tempted by the emanating smell coming from the fish ball vendor so I stopped by and took a few balls, i drowned it with spicy sauce and it was sublime...my tongue is burning from the hotness of the fish balls (straight from boiling oil) and the spiciness of the sauce, and I was enjoying every second it was teasing my taste buds. ( although the sight was not to behold, as there were torn posters and flyers everywhere, rubbish from the ongoing elections, from the same rubbish people which names and pictures appear on the posters and flyers...)





So my sister had casted her vote, she did her share for electing the next leader of our country, as for me... nothing, as I did not vote for two reasons. First, I had to do extra paper works just to get my name back on the voter’s list again, i’m too lazy to do that. And second and actually the main reason, I don't give a damn! (to the candidates and not to my country)...I know you would tell me that I did not vote, hence I have no rights to complain. But my hopes are soaring, and I strongly believe that there is still a chance for my dear motherland. So whoever gets to be seated on the big presidential chair, I just hope he does not leave a bad taste on every Filipinos mouth. Because for the past decades, Filipinos have been suffering from a totally corrupt government, its like eating a rotten dish everyday of our lives. And its high-time that Filipinos experience of eating a bad dish everyday would be replaced with a fine-dining experience. Filipinos are tired of having a political diarrhea everyday. Filipinos want to have well-prepared, high-quality meal...now!!!!.....

so....foie gras, anyone???...

P.S.

as of 4 pm Philippine time, already 3 presidential candidates conceded defeat. This guy is taking the lead.



hey buddy, remember the drink that you had in Cafe Havana, the "yellow ribbon"???.... Well, at least you had your share in the elections Tet, even if it was only through an alcoholic drink...cheers!!!


-eat well, live well and be merry!!!!
