Nati, I love my chilis and spice. I can tell you that Latin, Thai and Korean chilis are all very different in flavor and degree of spiciness. I can’t tell the exact ingredients and proportions but the addition of paprika and cayenne is a starter.

Moni, my father’s ancestral home in Carigara lost its roof. Walls are still intact but the interiors are ruined due to the rains that left the house vulnerable.

My aunts and uncles are now in the process of pooling together money to get it fixed. From what I gathered, the contractor they are looking to hire would have to source materials from Manila. Construction supplies from nearby provinces like Cebu are apparently either wiped out or astronomically expensive.

MM, you’re most welcome. It was fun buying the chili powder at a spices shop in Chatuchak and the dried fresh chillis at another spices store at Klong Toey market. They had a gunny sack of dried chillis and it was so cheap.

Yes, typhoon damage in Baybay, Leyte was not as much as in Tacloban, Palo, Tanauan, Ormoc, Guiuan and neighboring towns. I have 4 students whose houses either collapsed or were wiped out by the monster typhoon. So how do you deal with students whose parents lost their homes and livelihoods? This I learned from your reader Marla that one just has to keep on giving until it hurts …

Oh, my goodness!! I’d take these over the usual pasalubongs from Bangkok !!

MM, Latin and Korean grocers here have dried chili too, sold in plastic baggies. Are they similar? Any input from MM-followers?

Jatujak is LOVE!

I always need to purchase extra baggage allowance when I fly to BKK. Shopping will ALWAYS be in the itinerary… and I also need to pack loose-fitting clothes to allow for gastric gorging. Harhar…
