Everybody's Cafe, Pampanga

We stopped at the first fastfood chain (Jollibee) we saw before heading to Everybody's Cafe. I 100% doubted that the girls would eat what us adult had in mind to eat for lunch.

But since we left home too early for breakfast, with empty stomachs we were tempted to eat as much as the kids.

So when we reached Everybody's Cafe, we were full stomached and not sure at all if we still have room for crickets and frogs.



Okey, here we go => stuffed frog, I chose this over the frog legs which were not a news to me anymore.

Bianx (background) : eooow, tita M, whayt are you eating???

Cuz che : whaaatah?? frog??

It was good!! Crunchy outside and meaty inside.

Cuz' got jealous how I enjoyed the frog and braved a piece. Well, she liked it a lot she ordered for more to take home. She had them half cooked to deep fry when she get home.



It's crickets/camaru time!

Kyla couldn't take it!

Well, it's not ala Fear Factor where you have to eat it alive and cricket-ing, haha.



But, still it's so insect-y ! You know, like eating a fly !

Allright - into the mouth!!

It was del.i.cious!!! surprisingly!!! crispy and tasty!! loveth!



We sugar coated them with glazed camote (sweet potato). Yum.

We were still asking for more exotic dishes but there were only those two. Others were familiar kapampangan dishes. We bought raw longanisa to take home.

chocolate is love

Box of Marks & Spencer chocolates for V Day?
Nah-ah . . a reminiscence of  the recent Christmas. A gift from a very close friend of the family. You know who you are, winkies**. Thankyouverymuch sistah'! The box got emptied in just a matter of minute. That's how my family loves chocolates.

I don't know why but when I think of Valentine's Day I start to crave for chocolates. Liar! ok. Actually I crave for it everyday. I'm trying so hard to stop myself from indulging but it's Valentine, we eat chocolates on V season, right? I heard some yessess over there _ so here, my other hand is  chocolatey- sticky- dirty cos I'm binged eating. I sneaked ( hidden from husband so he couldn't stop me) a huge bar of cadbury (fruit & nut, my favo) and almost finished it in just one sitting. OMG! can't stop! can't say no to chocolates !stop me! i'm getting big again!  heeeelp!!!

Tabo-an's Dried Fish

Actually every market (and mall market too) in P.I. sells dried fish. I haven't found a market yet in our country that has no dried fish section. Ofcourse, those bay side provinces that are seafood producers (like Cebu) deliver better quality dried seafood products.

In Cebu City, dried seafood products are best bought in Tabo-an Market. Specializing in massive variants of dried products- dangit, squid, shrimp, even dried mango can also be bought here.



I especially liked the longanisa (local sausage) de Cebu I bought from here. I guess flavors varied depending on which store you bought.

The only downside was it really stank. Omg!



From there we went straight to catch our flight back to Manila and funny that when we got miles away from the market, only then we realized that we were taking home not only Tabo-ans delicious goods but the dried fish awful smell too, haha.
Oops, don't forget to ask the merchant to box your smelly goodies if you're going to fly them. We did forget for a minute and had to ask our cab driver to turn back to the store and asked them to box pack our purchase. They did,  even apologetic that they didn't box it in the first place. Very nice.
