I eat in Phitsanulok


Twice, I was able to visit my sister in Phitsanulok, Thailand.
Being food lovers, we based out sightseeing in places
where there are good food. My sister joked that I have alreayd
toured the whole Phitsanulok, checking out these food stops
and we even got lost a few times.

















Paephufathai restaurant along the Nan River serves the tastiest
Tom Yum in Phitsanulok.


Tom Yummy!



































These sheds on the other side of the Nan river becomes alive at night
as tables are set up for diners.

















Most customers are students and teenagers who wants to hang out
for cold drinks and shakes.

















I wanted something exotic shake but the waiter had trouble understanding
I ended with plain milk shake with some corn flakes on top.


















We did got lucky with this delicious squid salad for only 50 Baht


















Stir fried chicken with nuts at Vinmarn Din Restaurant.
It was the first time I was served with whole chilies mixed in the recipe

















I saw these weird looking fruit in the grocery called Sa-la. It's sour.

















Near my sister's place, you can buy Pork Krapao for only 30Baht.
I forgot to tell the cook not to make it too spicy and she even served it
with hot sauce on the side!




















A few meters from Wat Phra Mahathat is the Hanging Feet restaurant.

















There are no chairs provided you sit on the side of the restaurant
with your fee hanging beside the wall, hence the name.

















Inside there are tables where you can squat while eating.



Basil, celery, cucumber, string beans,cabbage are the usual
vegies served raw with your meal. Take you pick.

Gensan Trip

Spent a wonderful time in General Santos City last month.

I had my fill of seafood, snorkeling, visit to their palengke
and watched the Pacquiao-Mosley fight live on the big screen.

Picture taking first before attacking the Seafood galore:
slipper lobster in garlic sauce, stuffed squid,
seafood platter (crispy shrimps, fish and calamari),
salt & pepper prawns, king crab in coconut sauce.

Undas 2008

It was a wet All Saint's Day morning but Filipinos still troop to the cemeteries to pay respect to our dear departed. Fortunately the sun was cooperative in the late afternoon.

in remembrance of the victims of abortion


forgotten?

The day after.....

not so crowded anymore

Relova Memorial Park (beside the Pila Public Cemetery)
Unlike the public cemetery where it is crowded, there is enough space
here even for a picnic.


Every year we prepare candles to bring to the cemetery.
