I miss mixed pickle, pickled silver skin onions, pickled beetroot, ooohhhh the list could go on.
Lyles Golden Syrup, Treacle ... I miss them lots
We used to frequent an Indian restaurant in Makati, and very nice it was too....![]()
Last time I asked my eldest daughter if she could box up the tools and stuff I left in her garage plus add some items for me.
I got, "Ok, I'll ask the hubby." Next day she says he cleared out the garage along with my tools etc, which included all the packing tape etc. She didn't mention about doing a box for me anyway, so i said nothing and spent a few days feeling angry.
My other 2 daughters are also very busy, working having babies, etc, this past year.
Been busy myself with the building and emptying my pockets, but soon I'll get round to asking again. Maybe once the ground floor is rented, for income.
I remember in Hong Kong when Harry Ramsdens opened a fish and chip shop,we used to be in there once a week. Then Brett's Seafood opened a chippy in Wanchai as well, and all of the supermarkets sold food that was British.I know we are supposed to immerse ourselves in a culture,and that's cool. In Thailand I eat Thai food, in India I ate Indian food, but in Pinas it's a bit difficult

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Oh Lord, guess what we've forgotten.

I've eaten toast a few times over there usually for breakfast on request but I remember buying some bread and making some toast when we had access to the hotel's cooking facilities in Boracay. It just doesn't taste quite the same though as the 'butter' I've always had tastes like ice-cream.
Do any of you guys actually like Humba?

Stewart, golden syrup and many of the other things you mention you will find in Marks & Spencer. We found loads of things in the Cebu M&S, there must be one in Manila!![]()
There's Marks and Sparks in Davao, I saw one in Abreeza.

Apart from a pub, I find it difficult to even find a British Restaurant. We had one briefly in Newcastle's Grey Street years ago but it wasn't there for long.
As for Lechon/Crispy Pata, when I was a kid, roast pork came on Sunday - maybe once a month - and the crackling was something I really really craved for. Then I ended up in Cebu and it seemed to be everywhere!! Was hard to resist!
That being said, the wife is smitten with British food since we moved back here - especially the Carvery - although we do rustle up some Pinoy treats when we can find the ingredients.

It's genuine imported New Zealand lamb.
We buy it S & R Shopping
Lots of imported stuff if wanted.
I bought my wife a case of Corona beer the other day. It's her favourite.
They had some Carlsberg too, but at the asking price I'm very happy to stick with my San Miguel Pils
Mostly we're buying fresh seafoods and vegetables at the local markets.
Found a lovely bakery just down the road at Toril G-Mall. The French baguettes are just about perfect. Lots of other tasty stuff too.
I have eaten goat though. Very tasty. These days we don't eat much meat, still enjoying the opportunity of such inexpensive but top quality seafoods![]()
Been offered dog a few times, but I declined![]()
