Brownie Fudge (P130)

This flavor will always be my favorite, Brownie Fudge (with all those sinful brownie nuggets and chocolate ripples)! My BFF's, Browned Butter Pecan! Promise to try it next time.

Alex III: LUMPIANG SHANGHAI!

Lumpiang Shanghai (P179)

I get disappointed everytime I attend an intimate potluck and not see a Tupperware (lately, potluckers have graduated to Reynold's disposable aluminum pans with Glad Wrap and a bottle of Sweet Chili Sauce) of Lumpiang Shanghai. A salu-salo is just not complete without Shanghai. 

I've seen all kinds... long, thin Shanghai; bite-sized Shanghai; stubby Shanghai; chopped Shanghai on top of Pancit; and the list goes on. Alex III's version naman is perfectly rolled, golden brown and the ground pork filling is not dry (which is the tendency of food that's been deep fried). Try it with Java Rice.

Now, you know where to run to the next time your family calls for a salu-salo.  

Ryzza Mae: Ang Pink Bike Ko?!!

Sad?? Bawal ang Sad, di ba?
Actually, hindi talaga sad ang Child Superstar natin. She's just a bit disappointed kasi one time na pinuntahan niya ang bicycle niya sa backstage ay hindi na umaandar ng tama. 
 

 
Excited pa naman siyang pinuntahan ang favorite niyang pink bike pero nang sakyan niya ay... may sira na. But she kept on. Padyak pa rin siya ng padyak. Until she grew tired of it, stood up and walked away. Sigurado naman ipapagawa ng EB staff ang favorite pink bike niya. In the meantime, life moves on. Mag-tablet na lang tayo, Ryzza Mae! Flappy birds? 
 

Ryzza Mae & Mommy: Tawanan sa Dilim!

We apologize for the video dahil talagang madilim sa lugar na yon. This is the best our camcorder can do. Pero gusto lang namin ma-capture ang tawanan ng Mommy-Daughter tandem and share with our readers. Nakaka-hawa ang tawanan ng dalawa!  

After the Ryzza Mae Show ay umupo ang dalawa sa hagdanan sa entrance ng stage. At kung nag-enjoy ang mag-ina. Pero, wait lang... habang naka-upo ang dalawa, hulaan ninyo kung sino ang naglalaro ng celfone habang nanonood! Sino pa?? ;)

"Good Morning! I'm Ryzza Mae!"

She was the gracious little host to our American friends! Kahit ba nose bleed moment na naman ay inisa-issa ni Aleng Maliit extending her hand and greeting each one with "Good Morning, I'm Ryzza!"

She was looked so small beside these gentle American "giants" who incidentally, gave a musical number. It was definitely, a good morning!  

Dabarkadang Hunky Los Viajeros!

A few minutes before Eat Bulaga starts at habang busy si Ryzza Mae sa kanyang guest for the day ay busy ding nagpra-practice ang tatlong hunks namely... Pedro, Eduardo at Diego! Collectively known as Los Viajeros! 
 

You would see their effort to come up with a good show lalo ngayon na sikat na sikat na sila na parang bumabagyo sa loob ng Broadway studio sa lakas ng sigawan ng mga girls sa tuwing lalabas sila on center stage! Just look at those abs... and the moves!

Breaktime!

The Leatherman Tool Group all began when it's founder, Tim Leatherman realized the need for pliers with his good reliable Boy Scout-type knife. Pushing himself to develop this idea into something useful with the help of his college friend, Steve Berlinger, became a reality.
 

They sold their first ever Pocket Survival Tool (PST) in 1983. 

Leatherman tools are available in any of 10 branches of Hahn in Metro Manila, Pampanga and Cebu.

OSAKA OHSHO: "The King Of Gyoza in Osaka!"

Gyoza

"Osaka Ohsho – which translates to ‘The King of Gyoza in Osaka’ – is the destination for handmade gyoza (dumplings). Our gyoza is a mixture of cabbage, ginger, garlic and 3 kinds of pork wrapped in Osaka Ohsho’s special wonton wrapper, then skilfully grilled to a deliciously golden brown crisp on one side yet moist within. Osaka Ohsho’s Gyoza has become our most famous and beloved dish."

More than 15 years ago, my college friends and I put up a fine dining in Pasong Tamo in Makati at the ground floor of a business hotel. Right across was the Shinjuku Ramen House which at the time, served the best Gyoza. People actually lined up to get in. Good thing that I knew most of the  waiters and kitchen staff that with one call, my Gyoza gets to me in a matter of minutes. I miss those days...

Pork Curry

Now, there's Osaka Ohsho who, as they claim, has the best Gyoza. It's new place located at the new wing of Megamall. Their Gyoza is good, as expected. The ginger taste is not overwhelming, just right. And my Pork Curry? I just find the curry sauce too thick. As a matter of fact, it was way too thick. Nakakasuya tuloy.

Ryzza Mae: Blondie Is Back!

At first, hindi pa muna "nagpapansinan" si Aleng Maliit at si Blondie. Chill muna sa dressing room. Rest muna si Ryzza Mae katabi si Ate right after The Ryzza Mae Show. 

Si Blondie may dalang tablet at pink pa! Medyo nasisilip-silip ni Ryzza Mae sa gilid ng mata niya. Unti-unti, nagiging interested ang young host. Hmmm... ano kaya yun ginagawa ni Blondie??? So, kahit na nose bleed moment, lumapit na din ang Child Superstar! At from then  on, close friend na sila!
