Lumpia Festival

It's my most anticipated time of year in the chinese calendar.  The day I personally call "Lumpia Festival".  This is the time when we honor our deceased loved ones & we eat vegetarian food, Lumpia!!

Recipe of our Lumpia was handed down from generation to generation.  No written instructions, purely verbal & training handed down through generations.  Preparing is also a very tedious task.  It takes around 2 days to prepare for the Lumpia, everybody loves our lumpia.  During this time of the year, we share them through our friends as well. And all would have the same comment "Masarap siya!" Gawa pa kayo nito, then I'll say, sorry you have to wait til next year, because it's only prepared 1x/year.  Then next year, I'll invite them to enjoy lumpia & no matter what their doing, they'll really adjust their schedule just so they can accomodate their appetite to indulge in our Lumpia.

Spicy Tuna Salad

I was craving for Spicy Tuna Salad for the past few days. Since I couldn't predict when our resident will tell us that we're going to our assigned family.. I couldn't satisfy my craving.

Luckily, a while ago I saw the opportunity. I have around 2 hour break before I'll make up for Pedia. So I took the taxi & went to Omakase at Il Terrazzo in Tomas Morato.

Here's a picture of my spicy tuna salad. I only remembered to take a pic of it when I was already eating. Haha so it's not that presentable anymore.
