 I’ve been having pain in my legs and right shoulder and in just one session I’m healed!!! All he does is twist and turn your body parts with a little pain 🙂 but after that everything is okay in less than 30 minutes! Myotherapy is how he calls his practice. Do see him for sports injuries or just anything – he even gave me something for my acid reflux and it’s all natural

Segovia Mamon

By | Yummy! | No Comments

Special delivery from my sister Margs.:-)  We have been talking about this Segovia mamon – not only us but everyone else! I am so lucky to finally get to try it! Just like an ensaymada, I only eat the top! But for taste test I tried a whole bite and it is Yum! We call this the “Edu Mamon” because it’s so hard to get an allocation since they make only 300 pcs a day so Margs told me they name drop and say it’s for their friend Edu Manzano and magically they can get some! haha!!  Segovia Mamon – 28 Gen. Lim St. Little Baguio San Juan. Tel no: 024772229 or 027252849 Mon to Saturday 11am to 7pmSegovia Mamon

Lardo and Chicharon from Zubuchon

By | Yummy! | No Comments

YUM!!!  Love this chicharon from Zubuchon which can only be bought in Cebu :-O  Thank you Joel and Marga!  Lardo and Chicharon from Zubuchon (3)

And this Lardo which I discovered from Gaita and Carla in the Casa Artusi class.

Previous entry:  Casa Artusi The Tale of Two Chefs March 4, 2014

This can also only be bought in Zubuchon in CebuLardo and Chicharon from Zubuchon (1)

 Carla and Gaita used it when making the dough for the Piadina ( Romagna style bread ).

 From Marga Binamira ”  It’s the lard that is rendered from the fat specifically around the loin. Or to be gross about it, the taba of the liempo. Hahaha. But it is the highest grade of lard and there’s no “porky” taste or smell. Excellent for deep frying (french fries, crispy pata) or baking (ensaymadas, etc.) and cooking.”Lardo and Chicharon from Zubuchon (2)

I also tried it for the turkey I made and it really made the turkey so tasty!  I put it inside the turkey while roastingLardo and Chicharon from Zubuchon (4)[email_link]
