Lovely Smell of Dried Fish

I love to eat dried fish at least once a week. Each time I eat bulad (dried fish), I could eat as much as three cups of rice! I couldn’t stop myself from eating, so yummy to avoid! I see to it though that hubby is out when I cook bulad because he’s not used with the smell of fried bulad. But for me, bulad’s smell is as good as the taste. I believed that bulad is the hero back in my country (Philippines) .Without bulad, I bet the number of death is more than what it is right now due to starvation. Bulad is cheap and affordable for families who are in below poverty level.

It is more delicious if vinegar and tomatoes are on the side of bulad, they are perfect combination. There are many kinds of bulad and my favorite one is small sapsap. There’s also bulad that is not that smelly but it is more pricey. I forgot the term but they are available in Cebu. That was the kind of bulad that I craved when I was pregnant of baby Arianna.

Do you like to try eat bulad (dried fish)? If you don’t then eat balut instead.

The Chocolate that I Love

Do you love chocolates too? Have you tried this one (The Hawaiian Host Macadamia Nuts)? If you do, you would agree with me that it's so yummy! For me, this is the best chocolate among the rest. Made from Hawaii. It's the Hawaii's gift to the world. I'm so glad that my sister is living in Hawaii, I can ask her anytime to send me a box of chocolate. This was the second time that she sent me a box of chocolate here in CA. BUT my family in the Philippines have received their share for more than a decade since the first package. I remember hiding the boxes of chocolate and I ate them by myself, haha! Can't get enough of it! So so delicious!

The History of Hawaiian Host :

Since Boyhood, Mamoru Takitani had dreamed of being a candy maker. Not just any old candy maker, BUT The best Candy Maker That ever was. When his magical recipe for chocolate-dipped macadamia nuts created a sensational on his home Island of Maui, he decided it was time.
Moving to Honolulu, Mamoru purchased Ellen Dye Candies, a local confectioner since 1927, and renamed the Company Hawaiian Host. Armed with his fabulous recipe, he soon filling orders all over Oahu.

Islanders loved the rich, creamy flavor of Mamoru's little masterpiece. Visitors discovered them to be a perfect gift for the folks back home. And competitors everywhere tried desperately to copy them.

Oh yes, Hawaiian Host has been imitated by many over the years but the unique quality of our secret milk chocolate has never been equaled. ---(copied from the chocolate box)
