I’ve been wanting to eat for weeks in this Indian fast food place called Punjabi. I’ve never tried Indian food before, so I thought we should give it a go. The location of Punjabi is not to die for – it’s on the side of the street where buses, cars, and jeepneys come and go. That equals to pollution. ;| I’ve heard a lot about this joint, and nothing can really stop me from going. Haha. Hmmm… what to order? Hmmmm… And a lot of hmmm after. I let him order for the both of us. Jerra rice with cumin seeds. Probably not one of my faves. I can’t really describe the flavor. Tandoori mix grill (mix platter of roasted meats) w/ onion and sweet bell peppers Rogan Joshi (a traditional lamb curry) Allo Parootha (bread with potato). I can come back for this. For snacks. Hehe. Have you also tried Indian food? Did you like it?

Goldilocks polvoron
It’s sometimes fun when you get to browse through the long forgotten (not that long, actually) photos in your hard drive. These photos were taken on the day we arrived in Mindanao last year. I was eating Goldilocks’ classic polvoron while in bed. ;D Polvoron is a milk candy usually made of powdered milk, butter, sugar and toasted flour. It’s super easy to make! Some stores that sells them give you a lot of options – there are those with cookies and cream and chocolate flavor, and those with cashew nuts, and pinipig. Do you also have them in your country?
Dinagyang Festival 2012
Yesterday, we celebrated the Dinagyang festival. We went downtown to check out what everyone was selling. ;) The streets were closed for the event and local sellers were able to find their spot to lay out their wares. ♥ There were also clothes, jewelry, hats, etc… and even food. These are made by the Gawad Kalinga Terracotta Youth Artists Group. The terracotta project was initiated by the SMART communications to tap artistic talent in the youth and to provide a means for their livelihood. There was also these colorful alphabet bracelet for the kids. There were also these rubber critters that my boyfriend was excited about. He bought one roach for me because he knows I hate them. I can’t wait to show this to my almost two year old niece. ♥ Haha! We took a lot of pictures of people in costume, those who joined the ati-ati dance competition. ♥ They colored their bodies dark brown and must use indigenous materials for their costume and props. I really had enjoyed my weekend mostly because the festival gave me a reason to take out my camera and take pictures. ;D Have a great week!
