Santis is probably okay. The quality of the melons is more difficult for me in Manila... The zucchini dish goes well with most grilled or baked items... you might want to look back into the archives for prokchops patterned after ones we had in Greece... easy and delicious. jade186, prosciutto and fresh figs... superb. Or figs with bacon baked in the oven, also super yummy! JCo, proscuitto from Segundo Piso/Terry’s at Podium or Makati should be okay, or Galileo Enoteca in Mandaluyong or Pasong Tamo.

I have tried this when I was visiting an Italian friend who was living in the island of San Erasmo in Venice. He had fig trees all over the place and were they so sweet and succulent, very different from those coming from Turkey. Another bit of info, the kamote (or sweet potatoes), is being cultivated nowadays in this little island (and towards the mainland) and is slowly changing the some of the agricultural panorama of this region. It is getting to be quite a prime and sought-after commodity, so I wish Filipinos would reconsider the thought that kamote is a lowly crop. And thanks betty q. for the info about cantaloupes! :) Another prosciutto and fruit combination that I would suggest is with FIGS.

But everywhere I go, I seem to get the "loob" of the owners, so that I get the cream of the crop as they say when their produce come in. If it isn't good, they say so and always tell me to wait for the good ones! I even get phonecalls to tell me thay their nice fruits have arrived....be it PAPAYAS Kurzhaar…Maybe I just am a very approachable namamalengke…no, not the word I am looking for!
