Goden Bowled Me Over!

if you're on a food trip for delicious maki mi then head off to the Sykes building along F. Cabahug and visit Golden Bowl. For Php 75 they serve a humongous bowl of maki topped with generous fried pork cutlets. This one i shared with my best friend and got myself an order of Pork Humba for 80 pesos.

The restaurant serve other dishes ala carte but these two dishes are personal favorites. I have a peculiar habit of picking out craving-dishes in every restaurant and when the urge strikes expect me to drive halfway across town to have a meal. They don't call it Food Trip for no reason.

Just like the fried chicken of Apurado, the Beef Ribs of Casa Verde, Binagoongan Pork of Quaddro, Sizzling Pochero of Abuhan and Grilled Pork Belly of Lola Eats, maki mi satisfies my craving for noodle soup. shhhlurp it up! namit!

if you're like me, i suggest you ask for chili oil to spice up the soup. condiments is what completes a chinese meal. side note, ketchup and siopao do not compliment each other.

chili oil and vinegared ginger - a staple of chinese restaurants

Just in case you get the craving :)

It's quite cheap and delicious.

What I like the most is the chili sauce... and the Humba..!!

the sign

"Lord, give me a sign..." no, i haven't fallen victim to overly melodramatic movie lines. on the other hand, i actually did use these words while attending mass last sunday (Redemptorist, Cebu City). you see, i have been increasingly dissatisfied with matters regarding the church but not necessarily my faith. to a point that i am debating whether i should even attend mass. i was asking myself if i wanted to attend mass given the fact that the church is getting more political. sure, i understand liberation theology and standing up for what is morally right. but that is exactly the same thing that has been bothering me, the moral thingy. the local church is proclaiming that the current administration has no moral leadership. i am not refuting that claim, on the other hand, the church could have said the same thing about itself. except that they rather not comment on anything when it comes to issues facing the institutional church. and there are tons of dirt, make that hun...

a most unusual saint

Image
the title Black Magic Mary is enough to conjur images of a witch draped in black robes similar to that of the Virgin Mary albeit with a more sinister aura. in Sta. Maria Church in Siquijor, a saint wearing a black habit holds a skull in one hand and an "inverted cross" in another is fast gaining a reputation that is probably influenced by the mystic history of the island itself. locals have speculated that the skull is actually her husband's and that she murdered her husband for reasons that seems to have been lost in history. a bit of research show that the locals refer to the saint as Santa Rita de Siquijor, probably a Filipino convention where we name the Virgin Mary with annexes related to places (e.g. Our Lady of Guadalupe). my own research led me to discover this particular "myth" in an effort to know more about Santa Rita de Cascia who is the patron saint of a church and town named after her in Pampanga. The first thing that caught my attenti...

Cambugahay, Lazi, Siquijor

CAMBUGAHAY FALLS three layered cambugahay falls, the water invites you to take a dip in its cool embrace Cambugayay falls  is accessible from the main highway of Lazi, Siquijor. a marker with Kris Aquino's face promoting Casino rubbing alcohol marks  the top of the 135 steps that leads to the landing area of the three tiered waterfalls that beckon visitors to take a dip in its gorgeously blue green water. side note, manong nonoy totally avoided the trek down to the pool in the pretext of watching over our car. moderate fitness is required for this one. looks inviting for a jump? some of the locals enjoying a splash in the pool. met a family having an excursion, this is the required "wacky" pose. interestingly, when i got the chance to chat up the family, they told me that while i was doing my "acrobatics" trying to frame my pictures, a monitor lizard casually walked behind me, paused for a bit while looking at me before sauntering of...
