S&R shopping

Snapshot of S&R last September 17, 2010
I am anti-social. I don’t like going to parties and to crowded places. But there are a few places that I love even if they are crowded… one of them is S&R, especially if they are on sale.

Last Friday, my friend asked me if I want to go to S&R for their 5 day sale… automatically I agreed and became excited. I love S&R because of the wide variety of imported goods you can buy from them, and as they say, it is Philippine’s answer to Costco.  Great but reasonably priced stuff… makes me go gaga! Hehehe J

There are a lot of people as expected but I can say it is tolerable. I guess you won’t mind the crowded place as long as you can buy cheap stuff! But we did not buy a lot because most of the items are wholesale, so even if the prices are discounted, I don’t think Gerard and I need boxes of milk, shampoo, soap etc. We just bought a couple of stuff such as chocolates, burritos, toilet cleaning agent, ice cream… (oh wait, that seems to be a lot… hehehe J) Speaking of ice cream… I think the trip to S&R is already worth it because of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream… During the sale, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is 100 pesos off! That’s already cheap for a Ben & Jerry’s fanatic like me… woohoo!!! Yummy! J

Of course, S&R shopping is not complete without having a slice of their huge pizza and bottomless drink… with on the side vanilla churros… hihi J

Oh well, thanks again to Nuni and Den-den for inviting us to S&R… without them, I won’t be able to go to S&R… hihi J (okay fine, I am so cheap… I love S&R but I can’t afford to pay the membership fee… hehehe J)

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each side or unt

Wee Nam Kee -- a taste of Singaporean Cuisine

Image
My brother in-law would like his dad to have a taste of authentic Singaporean food… and of course the first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about Singaporean Food is no other than “Hainanese Chicken Rice”… Though Hainanese Chicken Rice originated from Hainan, China, it has now also found its home in Singapore as their national dish due to immigration. It is also known as Singaporean Chicken Rice it is served either steamed or roasted. Fortunately, we now have Wee Nam Kee restaurant here in the Philippines. They actually opened late last year and I have read several blogs about it. Wee Nam Kee has made its name originally in Singapore as a top contender for serving the best Hainanese chicken rice alongside Boon Tong Kee and Tian Tian. As I have read in one of the blogs, all their ingredients are sourced locally.  Their secret is that the chickens are freshly delivered everyday from 3 small farm suppliers that alternate delivery. They are chilled -- not frozen. Now

Not so typical valentines speech

Image
This is one of the toastmaster speech I delivered a few days before Valentine's day last year. ========== Good afternoon.   February 14 is a red-letter day for many people. This is the day most people look forward to, especially for the lovers.   But for me, this is just an ordinary day, nothing special,   for I   do not believe in celebrating Valentine’s Day. In fact,   I feel awkward to stand in front of you   to deliver a valentine’s speech.   Yes, you guess it right – I am the   scrooge of Valentines.   But before you raise your eyebrows and give me a piercing look, allow me to state my reasons … First, for me, the origins of Valentines day is not clear. The holiday appears to be   named after two      early Christian martyrs named Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Valentine of Rome [9] was a priest in Rome while Valentine of Terni became bishop of Interamna   and both were martyred and buried on the Via Flaminia . In the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic Calenda
