Thanks everyone for those suggestions…keep em coming. corrine, easier than going to mandaluyong somewhere in the deep recesses near the pasig river, just go to Landmark department store or the home store at the basement of Mega mall. They have the same vases (small, greener glass ones) but perhaps 20% more…

Thanks for all the tips…now which one to choose. My hubby and I haven’t gotten over the super delicious chocolate cake with caramel sauce served during the eyeball. I wonder who brought it…if it was home baked and where can we buy?

MM, how about those glass flower vases? Where in Mandaluyong did you buy them?

Many of my favorite sources have been featured before. Mrs. Cunanan 631-0798 for ensaimada, Roshan 631-7786 for cakes and cookies, Marta Matute 842-3836 for cakes and cupcakes,Girl Velasquez for rum cake 810-3841, but a great thanksgiving and christmas resource I have is woman who sells Apple Dumplings. I am embarassed that I don’t even know her name! The number is 655-0992. Her dumplings are great. Think of them as an individual apple pie. They are cinnamon and nutmeg flavored baked apples inside a flaky pie crust. Warm them up and serve with vanilla ice cream.. delicious!

don’t quit, MM, in the name of world peace! you wouldn’t want your thousands of readers and fans to go on a collective MM-withdrawal syndrome during the holidays, would you?(any day for that matter!). we’ll give you leads, send you pictures if you say so, we’ll respond to all the online polls you ask us to, and tell you where we found the best whatever, just so you keep up this blog. so, in the interest of peace on earth and goodwill to all men, go for it, MM!

Don’t forget to complement those rich food suggestions with wine! My friend Jerome Phillipon of Sommelier Inc (892-9928) has my favorite varietals from Southwest France. His prices are reasonable and he will even deliver. His wines come with tasting notes, which are a cool way to impress friends:-). My favs are the white Columbelle which is great for quaffing. For reds, I prefer them heavier, like Madiran. But for those who prefer beer, I suggest Pivo Praha, a czech-style microbrewed beer, available at Grappas Ristorante. But you can buy by the bottle at P90 each. I have a post on it in my blog.

Even us dayuhan(known as Aliens at Bureau if Immigration!) cannot manage without your website. It helps us appreciate and assimilate and say the right things at social occasions, when we are all accused of being “americanos’. What an insult to a Brit. Impressed you buy shirts from Turnbull and Asser in Jermyn Street.A Chairman of a top British company refused to re-locate his office from that street to the new headquarters in London’s developed docklands on the basis that “Here is convenient for one’s club,one’s taylor and one’s wine merchant’. Presumably a descendant of Bertie Wooster.

Back to food your barbecued king prawns with garlic butter sauce with fresh tossed salad and steamed Thai rice are a firm family favourite now. So will be hunting your site for Christmas nosh.
