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

Changing Center of Gravity and My Unexpected Visit to Asian Hospital

Image
Changing center of gravity: The first reason you may be stumbling is obvious—you're getting bigger. As your belly grows outward, your whole center of gravity is thrown. After walking perfectly for years, your body now has to constantly realign itself to keep you upright—no wonder you're tripping. It may seem that this new life inside you has taken over your brain. Be assured, this is not the case. As your belly begins to expand and your baby grows, your center of gravity will begin to shift. While you are pregnant you may notice your balance is a little off, increasing your risk of tripping or mis-stepping. Though your baby-to-be is well cushioned in your belly, falling wouldn’t be good for either of you. You will want to start being more careful when moving about. Here are a few tips: Try not to carry things around with you that if dropped, could harm yourself. Use the handrails when going up or down stairs. Do not wear high heeled shoes, but instead, comfortable shoes tha

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
