Yamazaki

By | Foodie | 2 Comments

This is one of the places we go to for Japanese ingredients and snacks which we cannot find anywhere else. Our cousin Ana told us about this place.  They have a wide variety  but it has a bit of a smell and it is not so clean- but it is okay.  It is right beside Seryna in Japan Town ( near Makati Cinema Square )

They even have frozen and refrigerated items from Japan

Heart2Heart featured Backyard Gardens last September 12, 2009 and Bambi’s was part of it.  But then Bambi sent me more photos from her garden in Bacolod!  Wow, she must have a big garden and is very lucky to have Jojo ( I call him Alexie ), a hard working and patient fiancé who helps her take care of her garden.   Thanks Bambi for sharing your photos and I really admire you….  Next time, we should feature the great cooking that you do with all these herbs!  

Jojo is very happy for his hardwork truly paid off! Jojo painstakenly wakes up at 5am daily to water all the plants in the garden, prune, cut, and replant, mixes his soil and seeds, and when he comes home from work he waters them all again!!!!!! I only buy the seeds and the seedlings and point to Jojo and Jay my wonderful Baptist gardener where to put all the seedlings!!!!! hahaha my manicured nails might get dirty and might loose its beauty so thats the bonus of being a girl!” 🙂
