uhm i feel attacked????

If this isn't the epitome of perfection, then I'm outta this world.

I feel like crying

[whatthepeckareyoudoing]

I got tagged by @flamingoskull​ the pecking bird furry but since he called himself out, it’s time for me to call myself out!

Rules: Name ten favorite characters from ten different things (tv, movies, books, etc.), then tag ten people

1. Shapeshifter - A Hat in Time (Video Game Cut Content) - Literally anyone who knows me personally knows that I love this little shapeshifting bitch. I’m still a little sad they never made it into the primary game but that just gives me more room to work with!

2. Chopsuey AKA Experiment 621 -  Stitch: Experiment 626 (Video Game) - I have a soft spot for mohawks and feral creatures so when 12-year-old me discovered this asshole way back when, I fell in love. While he’s not my absolute favourite character anymore, he’s still up there and holds a fond place in my heart.

3. Dark End - Stitch! Anime (TV Show) - Is it cheating to use the TV show as a separate thing from the games and movie? Probably. But I really like this creature okay???? Also once again: Mohawks. Plus, they’re very gender ambiguous and I would demise for them. 

4. Scourge - Warriors Cats (Books) - Yes, I was one of these edgy kids who loved Scourge. And, tbh, I think one of the main reasons why, as an adult, I still like his character is because he is very small and legit everyone underestimates them because of his size and I like that trope a lot.

5. Mimic - IDW Sonic Comics (Comic Books) - ...If you didn’t know, I LOVE shapeshifting characters. And Mimic is exactly that. Plus I have a little bit of a weak spot for characters with very loose morals if you haven’t been able to tell.

6. Venom - Marvel Comics (Comic Books) - A Shapeshifter, symbiote, and a character with loose morals?? All wrapped up into one?? Yep that’s definitely a fave of mine. Honestly all of the symbiotes are super cool in my books but Venom was the first one that I discovered so *shrugs*

7. Remus Lupin - Harry Potter (Books/Movies) - When I was  kid, I really loved werewolves, and Lupin was my first exposure to them. I’m still pissed about how R*wling had him finally be happy and then killed him off but that’s what fix-it fics are for! Tonks is a close second for the Harry Potter series fave, mainly bc shapeshifting plus I hc her as being genderfluid.

8. Chip/Light Gaia - Sonic Unleashed (Video Games) - Is this cheating again?? Probably but I don’t care! Even though that his English voice is,,,,grating at times, I still really like him and I have a soft spot for him bc he was a part of my childhood. Also there’s that thing of “characters not looking how they seem” so yay!!

9. Bill Cipher - Gravity Falls (TV Show) - Now, before any of you get on my case about including Bill in this list, I want y’all to know: Yes, he is an asshole. Yes, he’s a terrifying villian. And that’s why I adore him! He’s legit terrifying and intimidating despite not looking like it! Plus he’s very manipulative and knows how to toy with people which is cool to watch.

10. Discord - My Little Pony (TV Show) -  ....you guys can probably guess why he’s here.

And that’s all 10! I’m not gonna tag anyone or any of these characters/fandoms, but if you want to do it, feel free to tag to show me!

BinondHoe

By Alfred Keegan S. Bernardo                  

   It’s really ironic that I was born without an ounce of Chinese blood but all the things I prefer are Chinese. The food, history and of course, the guys. And when I heard that we were tasked to go to Binondo for a writing activity, you bet that my little chinito loving heart was internally screaming in excitement.

    Our expedition for hot chinito guys, I mean for an authentic chinese experience rather started along the busy sidewalks of Vito Cruz on one Tuesday afternoon as me and my friends Dana, Emiliane, Lianne, and Trisha waited for our ride which was provided by our opulent friend Trisha. As the big black SUV arrived we quickly hopped in and much to our surprise Tita Jasmine (Trisha’s mom) was by the passenger seat and cheerfully said that she would be accompanying us all throughout our whole Binondo Escapade as our tour guide which I was very grateful to her for.  The trip took about 30 minutes with the usual Manila Traffic. Our vehicle passed through different eskenitas and shortcuts to expedite our trip and save time which actually worked because we arrived at Binondo sooner than we expected.

   Binondo is the oldest Chinatown in the world and has been standing for 425 years strong. From far away it almost seems like a mixture of modern high rise condominiums and old baroque style buildings that reminded me of the buildings in old Europe There were also oriental style buildings with red roofs that resembled Buddhist temples. This urban sprawl was teeming with Chinese owned businesses, authentic Hokkien restaurants, and various kinds of vendors selling all kinds of goods and produce. But I’ve heard that there are also Traditional Chinese Drugstores selling illegal animal parts, shops that sell all types of charms and bracelets, and of course, cute chinito guys that you can take home to your parents.

  The driver dropped us off at Quentin Paredes street and which I’ve noticed had banks scattered all around throughout the area. BDO, EastWest, BPI, you name it and they’re all here literally a few meters from each other. But then I remembered that Binondo was once the Financial and Banking district before Makati and Ortigas we’re even established and so that explains the prevalence of banks and different financial institutions along Quentin Paredes.

Our ride dropped us off at the entrance of one tiny street. Carvajal was definitely a street that had a lot of stories to tell. With its orange-tiled pathway with specs of white and diversity of the vendors, you’d think that it was a wet market on the street.

    As we walked along Carvajal, there were different scents and sights all around but the most overpowering came from one particular fruit, the durian. The smell was obnoxious as it wafted all around and to our noses which I wasn’t really happy about. Aside from Durian, the fruit stalls also had pineapples, papayas, bananas, mangoes and other varieties of fruits. The vibrant colors of the fruits almost created a sort of a mural of tropical colors of yellow, green and red. The street also had vendors that sold all kinds of seafood in baby blue buckets with cardboard squares where their prices were written on. Snails, eels, sea cucumbers and different types of fishes were being sold all along Carvajal. It was hard to not be impressed by the variety and selection of produce and products sold along one measly narrow street.

    Among the stalls and vendors was a wooden door with glass windows that offered you a sneak peak inside one of  Binondo’s hidden gems which was Quik-Snack.  

    As we opened the door we were greeted with the aroma of spices and different scents that we could not quite distinguish. Quik- Snack is the restaurant if you want to be served with the most authentic and tastiest Hokkien food in all of Manila. But surprisingly the design and decor of the restaurant was not quite, er Chinese per sé. It had plain white tiled floors that were squeaky clean and the wall on the upper half was a cream colored white while the bottom half was made of exposed brick. It almost seemed like one of those restaurants from the spanish colonial era that was misplaced in the middle of Chinatown.

     The restaurant had a variety of dishes to offer us. From noodles to soups and appetizers you can see that there’s a wide array of ingredients that they use and they even had vegetarian options!  There were some recognizable dishes such as Lumpiang Shanghai, Chopsuey and Leche Flan but there were also some Hokkien Dishes such as Kuchay-ah, Stir-Fried Mi Noodles and Oyster Cakes. The prices ranged from 150 to 300 pesos depending on what the main ingredient is. Tita Jasmine suggested that we try the Iced Coffee with Ice cream since it is one of their best sellers so I opted to order one for myself and Dana decided to get one too since we both love and adore coffee. It took us quite a bit of time to choose what to order but eventually after some questions I’ve decided to get the Stir Fried Mi Noodles that had Pork and Shrimp. My friends decided to order noodles as well but in different variants with different ingredients.

    While waiting for our food to be served I was curious to know about the history of Quik-Snack so I asked the cashier who was a middle aged guy with a receding hairline and he told me about the owners of the restaurant which was actually from Cebu and and they moved to Manila in the 60’s where they established Quik-Snack and it was passed on from the owner’s grandson in the 80’s and he was still managing it up till today which was quite fascinating since the restaurant had different generations of management.

     After about 10 minutes our dishes were served to us and surprisingly they all looked quite appetizing and unique. The first one to be served was Emiliane’s dish which were long thin white noodles served on a bowl with a broth that was almost clear and hers had different toppings such as spring onions, leeks and parsley which was quite an attractive garnish. Me, Dana and Trisha ordered the same dish but with different ingredients. Trisha’s noodles had chicken and Dana’s had Beef Sate Sauce. But I’d like to think that my order looked the most sumptuous with the different colored toppings that were on top of the noodles. The pink juicy shrimp, crunchy green cabbage, perfectly sautéd pork and crispy bits of garlic.

    As i took my first bite of the dish, I was greeted with a strong savory taste that instantly impressed me. The combination of the different textures and tastes of the toppings with the well-cooked noodles and savory sauce created this symphony of flavors and textures in my mouth that was almost too good to be true. I did not hesitate to tell the whole table on how good the noodles were and everybody seemed to agree with me. The oyster cakes that Tita Jasmine ordered were also good. The contrast of the eggs and oysters with a bit of ketchup was just the bomb dot com and it paired well with everyone’s noodles. As we were in the middle of our feast our Iced Coffees arrived and boy did they look good. Two of my favorite things in one? And as we expected it was the perfect dessert/drink that complimented all the dishes we ate perfectly.

    The best part of the lunch? Tita Jasmine paid for everything and I wanted to protest and tell her that we’ll pay but she told us that it was her treat and we just could not argue with her because who doesn’t want a free meal right? After Tita Jasmine paid for our meal, we left Quik-Snack with full bellies and satisfied cravings for a full on authentic Hokkien meal.

     We turned left to the other end of Carvajal towards Ongpin which was the main artery or passageway of Binondo. We went to check out the flagship store of Eng Bee Tin one of the most popular brands of Chinese treats and delicacies. As we approached the facade of the building you can already tell that it’s gonna be an explosion of yellow, red and purple and boy I was not wrong. Everything in the store was either yellow and red. The red pineapples hanging by the ceiling, red dragon statues by the entrance the shiny foiled yellow walls that were almost blinding. As we were checking the stuff up in the second floor we came across a barrel man. If you don’t know what the barrel man is, it’s a wooden carving of a man inside a barrel. Sounds innocent right? But what you don’t know is that you can remove the barrel and a surprise will be springing into life. Let’s just say that it’s big, long and hard as wood .

    We traversed through Ongpin and we specifically stopped at this one store that was selling different types of Chinese snacks and drinks that I could not recognize since all the labels were in Mandarin. The store also had keychains and bracelets made up of different colored stones. There were also these weird paper like stacks that had white paper and red chinese characters drawn on them. Trisha told me that these were sort of offered to your dead ancestors and when you burn them, it serves as their money in the afterlife which was quite an interesting story and showed how much the Chinese respected their ancestors. As I glanced over at the counter I saw Tita Jasmine buying several circular containers that had dark wrinkly circles in them which I guess was dried fruit and to our surprise she handed one to each of us which shookt me to the core because she’s just so nice and generous.

  As we left the store stepped back into Ongpin something caught my eye. On the opposite side of the road was a tall Chinese guy that seemed to be in the middle of a phone call. He was definitely taller than 6 feet and had a good physique (yikes!). He had small thin eyes, an average sized nose and lips that looked so juicy. He didn’t have the sharpest features but whatever he had going on with his face was working. All of his features were sort of symmetrical and balanced everything out. He was neither too thin nor too fat he was in-between with a lil bit of muscle definition. I literally can’t even remember how I memorized his looks but I did. But well, I couldn’t really do anything about it so I just mustered all my willpower and moved on along to our next destination.

  Walking along the streets of Binondo didn’t really scare or bother me since I was with a group but also since the locals are not really sketchy so I didn’t have to worry about snatchers and holdapers which were usually present all around Manila. As we traversed through Ongpin, we arrived at an intersection where we transferred to another street named Sabino Padilla Street. It was lined with stores on both the sides of the street selling various things from charms to traditional Chinese medicine that were sold in strange looking pharmacies.

    On the way back to Trisha’s place, we passed by this Noodle and Siopao restaurant named Ling nam where they serve the freshest and tastiest siopaos in the whole of Manila. Tita Jasmine got about 8 pieces of Siopao and no doubt that she’ll probably give each one of us a piece. The inside of the restaurant was quite steamy and humid probably because of the steamer that’s used to cook the siopao and other dumplings. The steamy atmosphere created this veil of mystery that have the restaurant an almost ethereal feel which was cool to be honest.

    Trisha’s place was just by the end of Ongpin near the Carriedo LRT Station. It was almost sunset as we were walking along Ongpin towards Trisha’s place. The dwindling orange light shone all throughout and Ongpin and to the rest of Binondo giving the area a timeless glow. It was an eventful day indeed. We had class and headed to Binondo for a one-of-a-kind experience and boy did we get one (for free). From the diverse and authentic food to the cute chinitos just waiting to be discovered, and to those hidden charm shops and traditional pharmacies it was like any other ordinary day in Binondo but for us it was a feast for the eyes, ears and mouth (literally). We didn’t get a Chinito boyfriend but that’s okay because we got a wholesome experience in BinondHoe. Gallery: https://cnfhumss12a.tumblr.com/tagged/Keegan

T&J Travels #6: Cebu 2016 (Part 3)

After a few hours of shut eye we are now back in the streets for the ff: to eat dinner and to find that choco mango I kept on talking about ever since I found it online: + Cebu Besto Pasalubong Atbp +

Found at Salinas St. it is easy to miss. It's a huge store with barely anything on it that if it weren't for the huge colorful mural on one of it's walls it would definitely pass as a bodega. There are a lot of chocolate mangoes in different stores (even at the airport) but it looks like this brand is not found elsewhere. Got great reviews from those who we gave it to. A bit expensive but every bite of that dark chocolate with the chewy mango is irresistible at best.

+ Rico's Lechon +

Found 7 minutes from our hotel, my officemates were in love with this lechon in particular when a week ago one of them brought it to the office. Initially we were going to Larsian for dinner as well but went here instead since it's closer to home. And as far as I know it's just some type of hawker's area, I don't think we would miss anything if we didn't went.

That is half kilo. They serve it with bones and all. No Sauce here!

[gallery ids="media-4,media-5,media-6" type="rectangular"]

Our arrival was just in time when after a few minutes of seating more came in groups. We ordered half kilo of lechon (good for 2), sinigang, chopsuey, 3 cups of rice (comes in a mini kaldero each) and two glasses of cucumansi.

Orders came by, our drinks forgotten. Even water wasn't served not until our 2nd or 3rd followup. Overall the food was good, the cucumansi my favorite. Reagan and I are officially cucumber drink lovers ever since we got a good one from Bohol and this one is a good twist. The calamansi jived amazingly with cucumber. As for the lechon, well, one good thing with it is that when I gave it to my boss noon of that Monday (when we flew back to Manila, we picked up our orders from Rico's around 8am, I got it to my office 4pm) and was told that the skin is still crunchy. For me the taste seems fresh, but definitely not life changing. Sadly, I have yet to find my favorite lechon. Will have to try CNT and Zubuchon next time around.

A Wholesome Two-week Journey at Oro Pahulayan

by Jasimah Gutoc

Being assigned for immersion in a government-funded institution brings out a lot of expectations. Not only that, but it also piques out on your curiosity. Read the literary reportage below as I concisely recall our two-week immersion at the Oro Pahulayan Shelter in Barangay Lumbia.

            On the twentieth of January, we rode on Bro’s spacious, black, Starex van as we went to Barangay Lumbia for our work immersion. In order to avoid the usual morning traffic in Uptown, we chose to travel down the road of Barangay Taguanao. As we were on our way to our assigned centers, we listened to some old 1980s to 1990s songs that we would often hear and remind us of our fathers’ playlist. At that moment, we did not know that a new wholesome journey and a new whole group of significant people were waiting upon us there in the center who would forever change our hearts.

            Together with Vicky, Pierce, Jadine, Cedrick, and Redondo, we were assigned to immerse ourselves at Oro Pahulayan. It was a center intended for abandoned and rescued people that were mostly on their old ages already. Upon arriving at the place, we were shocked with what we have seen. “Mao na ni?” my group mate said. Contrary to our expectations, the center was not even a two-storey building as compared to other government centers and agencies. It was an old, abandoned, rectangle-sized classroom that was made of bricks and was painted with green on the outside. The place was surrounded with numerous tall trees and scattered dried leaves were all over the ground.

           Minutes after roaming around the center, we went to take a look inside our clients’ room. As soon as we entered their premises, we were met with the strong urine-like scent. Half of the walls were newly painted with white, while the other half almost looked like brown that may be due to the accumulated dirt over the past few months. After looking around their room, we introduced ourselves one by one. Some of them did not bother to listen while some, on the other hand, warmly welcomed us in. We then exchanged conversations with them by asking them about their previous lives and how they got there.

           “Aha mo gaskwela gang?” a nanay asked.

           “Corpus Macasandig nay” I answered.

           “Ahh mao ba? Katong first batch kay sa Pueblo man gikan noh?”

           This nanay had Parkinson’s disease since five years ago and was brought to the center last October, 2019. Despite of being new to the center, she really knows her fellow clients very well. She could even clearly remember the names and faces of the previous immersionists before us.

           After our ocular inspection, we then sat outside under a nipa hut. We then expressed our sentiments about the challenges we knew we would be facing. “Lisod kayo magpa-activities sa ilaha bai, dili gastorya ang uban” a group mate of mine said. We were deeply worried that we would be unsuccessful in building meaningful relationships with them given that most of them were mentally challenged. Since it was our first day and we have not prepared anything yet, we just assisted the social workers in preparing and serving their lunch. The group has discovered that most of the foods there were either canned or instant. A nanay even told us that there are times where they would eat instant noodles for 3 meals in one day.

           Seeing how shaky the hands of nanay with Parkinson’s disease were, I went near and assisted her in eating. While I was spoon feeding her, we exchanged our full names and asked each other questions about school and family.

           Ingani unta akong mga apo” she said as she began to tear up. It turns out that her daughter, together with her grandchildren, left her all alone in their house as they started to face difficulties with looking after her.

           “Nay, naa kay ginainom na tambal?”

           “Oo, naa man pero wala pa niabot kay nadelay man daw ang budget”

           More than a week has already passed since the last time she drank her medicine. It was from her that I knew that every New Year, the government’s services gets delayed due to unfinalized budget plans.

           On the following day, we initiated a daily morning stretching. Knowing that they are already unable to perform zumba, we opted for basic stretching exercises accompanied with some old cheerful Filipino music. Moreover, we brought some cleaning supplies with us. Our group decided to scrub their brown, muddy, dusty floor using some detergent powder and brushes. As we did this the whole morning, the changes were really evident. The floor literally brightened and went from red muddy color to a greyish one. The room started to smell better as we also mopped it right after with Downy fabric conditioner.

           Challenge arises as we have to come up with activities for them that are simple and doable in sitting. With intense brainstorming among the group, we thought of doing bingo and word search. We did this by partner wherein every client with eye problems was assisted by an immersionist. Aside from activities, we have also prepared them some afternoon snack. In Oro Pahulayan, most of the food is cooked using wood fires which posed as a great challenge as we got used to cooking at stoves in our home. Thankfully, Redondo and Cedrick are skilful enough with what we called the traditional way. We then shared our excess champorado to the children from the Boys’ town.

           As days went by, we got to be closer with the nanays and tatays. Our daily morning stretches have become more enjoyable as more clients started to join. To make it more meaningful for them, we asked each one of them about their favorite songs and singers. We played it on loud speakers and they got truly excited and even happily sang along with the songs.

           There was this one tatay who was mentally challenged and becomes violent at times. We asked him his favorite singer and he answered, “Victor Wood.” The day following after that, we played some of Victor Wood’s songs and asked tatay if he knows it. He said, “Hindi, hindi ko alam yan.” But as we tried to observe him the whole time we are playing the songs, we saw that he was singing along and that he still even memorizes the lyrics. “Eh tay alam mo naman pala sus”, I said, then he gave me a teasing smirk.

           Aside from cleaning, playing games, morning stretching, afternoon snacks and listening to music, we also made them watch World War Z. We have borrowed this little yellow projector from a friend bought from Shopee and used it for movie viewing. The elders were amazed as it was their first time seeing such thing. Being thriller and action fanatics, the tatays were deeply engaged on to the movie whereas the nanays were mesmerized by Brad Pitt’s presence in the movie. “Si Brad Pitt na diba? Gwapo kaayo” a nanay said.

           Just like any other event and program, we ended our two-week immersion with a culminating program. Since we have learned about how they frequently eat processed and instant foods, we bought them freshly-cooked meals from Panchic such as lumpia, chopsuey, sweet n’ sour fillet, and fried chicken. Some nanays and tatays, who were not used to seeing and eating those, were thrown off guard and even returned some of the foods. While some got excited as it took them a very long time since the last moment they were able to each such decent food.

           As we delivered our farewell speeches to them, tears started to fall.

           “Salamat kaayo sa tanan ha, tungod sainyoha kay nabawas among pagka-homesick sa among mga pamilya” one client said.

           We exchanged hugs and cries as we said good bye to each one of them.

           “Balik lang mo ha?” another client added as we finally leave their room. At that moment, our two-week journey has finally came to a bittersweet end.

IM SO GONE IM DECEASED

[thicckittyyy]

(DISCLAMER:  I’M NOT A GOOD FOOD REVIEWER, THEY’RE ALL DELICIOUS TO ME!)

     It was my friend’s last night as a single lady! *cue the wedding bells* and I know that it wasn’t a proper bridal shower but at least we got to eat again at my favorite Thai food place!!  —— The Kruathai Seafoods Restaurant.

Since I’ve been here way too many times, I think I can tell you with all honesty why I’m such a big fan of their resto besides Thai food being my top most favorite asian cuisine. If you’re into a good, yummy asian food within a decent budget in Riyadh, then this one’s is right up your alley.

L O C A T I O N

(Restaurant’s facade)

Now, if you’re also located in the capital city like me, specifically in ArRawda district, and you’ve never seen nor heard about this place, well, I don’t blame you. The place is actually a bit discreet and its existence only came to my knowledge through a word-of-mouth 3 yrs ago. 

They have 2 existing branches: one in Sulaimania area and the other one is situated at Imam Al Shafie Street, Near Al Yamamah Hospital, Ar Rayyan. Nearly a walking distance from my house. I can’t tell you much about their history because I was too shy to ask their staffs lol, but I’m pretty sure that they’ve been around for years, guessing from some few peeled off paint from the walls and old furnitures.

I N T E R I O R  A N D   A M B I A N C E

(The next paragraph is just an unrelated segue lol) 

I love old stuffs. I’m a big fan of museums and one of my goals is to scour the entire earth and just visit all the museums that are currently existing. I don’t love them not just because they’re old and that it carries a certain “vintage aesthetic”, but also because there’s always a history behind old places and things which make them very interesting to me.

The restaurant’s ambiance carries a somewhat vintage/90′s vibe, dimly-lit, so it isn’t most people’s cup-of-tea but to me, it certainly has a “je né sais quoi” appeal. <3 It doesn’t bother me at all. It felt so homey with the vinyl floor and the floral curtains plus the dull sound of the chefs tossing woks and skillets in the background, it sorta felt like I was eating at my grandma’s kitchen again. (may she rest in peace)

S T A F F S

It took my friends a few long minutes to choose their dishes and the Indian staff was patient and cool enough to wait on them. He even went back twice because I came in a few minutes behind my friends who had already placed their orders in (sorry!). I didn’t have to tell the guy twice about my order, and he always had that super warm smile on his face too. (I’m pretty sure that he thought I was weird holding my camera and taking photos of their food and restaurant. Lol.) #millenial

So, that’s an A+ for me! They’re friendly, sharp, patient, and accommodating.

( Our inevitable, mandatory, goofy selfies. >.< )

T H E   F O O D ,   f i n a l l y . .

I highly recommend this restaurant for a small group because most of the food servings are good for sharing with a price range of as low as 20 to 50sr.

They offer Filipino, Chinese, and from the name itself, Thai cuisine. I’d scan and show the whole menu book to y’all if I could, but I only had a few seconds to take photos and choose my dish at the same time. Lol.

My TOP 3 favorite dishes are:

1. Fried Garlic Squid (30sr)

Or you can call it: Sweet and sour fried squid dish because that’s how it tastes like. Yum!

2. Tom Yum (20-40sr)

Who doesn’t love a good Tom Yum Seafood soup!! I ordered the smallest size for only 20sr, but when you order the regular size (second photo below), it usually comes in a huge metal bowl with a blue fire under it to keep the soup warm. It contains squids, crabs, fish meat, and shrimps. 

Trust me, they have the best Tom Yum in this country!

3. Fried Duck (forgot the price but my wild guess is it’s at 30-ish price range)

They always serve this crispy, I promise. It also comes with several dipping sauce too (mango, brine with chili, and sweet and sour sauce).

Those are just my personal preferences though. There are still a lot more that I have and haven’t tried. They have more than 30 dishes in their menu book that you can choose from! Can you believe that?!

When it comes to the price, I’ve never paid my share more than 50sr EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! And I also get to take some of the food home, that’s how big the servings are!

(The rice dried up because I took too long in taking photos. My bad lol)

As you can see, they also have yellow fried rice, fried garlic shrimps, chopsuey, beef stew, and a whole lot more! Gah, I just love me some comfort food right now, bruh.

**Adobong Kangkong (30sr)

**A big bowl of White Rice *burp*

And of course, it’s not asian without rice, is it? They serve a big silver bowl of white rice which is good for 3-4 heads.

I’m gonna do my best to get back here and try the other dishes for the rest of my remaining 2 months in Riyadh. *crossing my fingers* So lemme wrap this up by giving them a good 4/5 stars. 

Let me know what you think and what else you’d like me to post next! Thanks for reading! (All photos taken by yours truly) xxx

I wish everyone would know that despite my young age, I am able to face whatever circumstance or situation because I was made to be strong by my experiences and by the love of God. I am able to control my emotions and I have the gift of holding on to myself when everything is falling apart.

            What would be the change you wish to see in the world?

I have always wanted PEACE AND UNITY everywhere…with anyone…with everyone!

I know it is not easy but if I have a magic wand, I will transform the world into a better place where love, joy, peace and unity reigns. Every child deserves a happy family, a peaceful life, and a successful journey.

                    What else does she do?

Oh well, let some of these photos tell you all.
