Under a Grove

Asiong's Restaurant, Silang

I took this photo a couple of years ago when Sonny Lua, the owner of Asiong's Restaurant gave us a tour on the backside of the restaurant building. I really admire his garden which doesn't just have fresh vegetables and herbs that they use for their dishes, but even has a space for a grove of trees. If I'm not mistaken, these young trees are Mahogany, which are widely cultivated here in the Philippines. I think these trees are relatively bigger now given that a couple of years had passed.

The temperature here in the Philippines has been rising daily since I can count back. Tomorrow's forecast will be the hottest for the year with air temperatures at 36C (97F) with a heat index of 42C (108F). We have just opened the summer season a month ago here in the tropics but thinking about the next coming months and equating it with the current temperatures, May and June will sure be excruciating! But on places with forest cover and soil as land, temperatures are way better and the heat is a lot bearable. But here in the city where everything is concrete, may I tell you that it's a giant stone oven here. How's the weather on your side of the globe?

Pasta con Huevos de Pescao

Pasta con Huevos de Pescao - Asiong's

The richness of fish roe, (Tuna to be exact as I asked Sonny Lua, owner of Asiong's of Cavite), is the star of this dish. There's this hidden sweetness in the saltiness of the roe. Crazy but that sweetness under saltiness does exist, well for me I guess. You would have to mix it very well before you grab a forkful so that you can enjoy the perfect amounts of everything- roe, sauce, herbs - and it will definitely be a delight to your tastebuds! Aside from this preparation, they also serve this dish in spicy and in negra or with black squid ink.

Hazy Skies on Farmville

Photo shot about a month ago at Ilog Maria Farms, Silang, Cavite 

I Love Windmills! This one was shot at Ilog Maria Bee Farms at Silang, Cavite, One of the highland towns in the Province. It was very Hazy that day and on that very moment, the rain is about to start. It has been very rainy this past month here in the Philippines and even a storm came by to whack the Country. It was one of the strongest Storms I experienced though it only lasted for a few hours starting midnight, the winds were really really strong! My Windows kept banging and banging and I can't sleep out of worry. Even my Bamboo garden was not exempted! Though as to every Filipino, these problems are just worth a smile. We are all born with Sunshine on our Lips :)

I would also like to Thank each and every one for all those Wonderful comments on my Latest Theme Day Post Yesterday! I was truly touched by all your kind words and I felt really welcome even if my posting has been on and off! Hope this would mark up a new beginning to a routine of Daily Photo Posting! God Bless us all!

Treats from the Deli

After my Mom and Dad went to the Hospital for her Check up, They went to Säntis Deli Store with branches at Alabang, Silang, Cavite and Metro Manila. I Love Deli stores! It gives me this fresh feeling that I usually get on early morning markets and the goods are different than the ones you can buy on Supermarkets and Groceries, They got Fresh Milks, Pate, Ham, Swiss Goodies and seasonings. 

I just want to greet my friends Abe Lincoln and Patty Lincoln. I don't know if there are still bloggers who don't know them, if you're one of them Better click on their names(which will lead you to their Blogger Profiles) and check on their blogs or you'll miss a big part of inspirations you will be having for your life! They're truly a very inspiring couple! To Abe and Patty, I know I've said this so mind times but that will never be enough, Thank You so much and keep on inspiring us.

Tomorrow is a very very big day for me so stay tuned for tomorrow's post for you to know why! Have a Great rest of the week and God Bless us all :D
