Hahaha. Just like how I would kill even silk plants in my home. This gadget caught my eye, and I thought you might be interested, especially with the shortage of herbs in Manila. Take a look at http://www.getthegarden.com . I’m thinkin of ordering one in the hopes of eating more healthfully at home, like more salads!

illtaketwoplease…yes, some small commercial growers do raise greens and herbs using hydroponics, but frankly, I think I can tell the difference between hydroponic lettuce or tomatoes or some herbs and those raised in soil… it is an alternative but perhaps a less tasty one… but thanks for the heads up…with my black thumb, I would probably kill even my hydroponic lettuce!

Hello Marketman. I found your blog via other foodie blogs and I’m in awe of all the food pics and info you all share, especially about Manila or the Philippines in general. I was just there a few weeks ago, had my wedding there… and now MISSING all the great food, sights, sounds and even smells! I’m hoping to come back for a visit this coming spring to fully enjoy the yummy food, great entertainment and the wonderful shopping.

I’m inspired to write you after watching an infomercial about the “aerogarden”. It’s an electric hydroponic garden of sorts, where you can grow herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, flowers, etc. on your countertop. Reading your blog, I know there is sometimes a lack of fresh herbs and greens in Manila, and I thought this might be an interesting gadget to try out over there. I’m not sure if the local infomercials there have shown it, but I’m curious what the results would be. Let me know if you’d like the website, and if you do ever get one in your hands, please share the results!

Thank you for your awesome website!

Your radar for good foods is always energized! Your table centerpiece is magnificent and recyclable too. Crabs, prawns, kalabasa and sitaw in coconut milk they are to die for. Plus ice cold regular soda Iâ€™m ready to dive in.

Lucky guests! That sounds like a fab menu…we never used to cook this at my parents house…maybe it’s a sign that I should start…

We used sitaw in the centerpieces at my wedding reception (along with other native veggies) :)
