And the bathroom! Egads, open large bath (presumably designed for two fit newlyweds, not middle-aged pot-bellied manongs and manangs)… Haha! I hope this is not how you intend to describe yourself, MM :)

tnm, we have a very good travel agent, but Mrs. MM booked this hotel herself.

Ok…how about this, Marisse…you soak the rice (that way, without a doubt, it is ordinary rice you will be using), then go to the palengke and have it ground. You can do that, right? or better yet, how about, MM…maybe you can send Marisse recular rice flour?!?. I can just imagine your pantry looking like Costco!

Then, what time would you like me to call you, Marisse? ..once you have sent me your phone no, though!

Pati ako, hindi makatulog sa Putong Ube mo!

Great post, MM! How did you find this hotel? Do you act as your own travel agent, meaning you book flights, hotels, etc on your own or do you utilize travel agents?

Wow MM! I’m jealous of your siem reap hotel. Backpacked there with some friends in November 2002. we endured an 11-hour ride from Bangkok, walked through the Thai-Cambodian border and stayed in a 6-dollar per night “hotel”. i have to agree that Siem Reap is not pretty but we still enjoyed our trip and the angkor complex is amazing!! :D

Hi all,

Just a quick note from the management to say, we are so glad you like our hotel but also to assure anyone considering a ‘stay’ that we DO have many rooms with an enclosed bathroom (i.e. with privacy). Although they do have a huge sliding glass panel if you are feeling brave. We also have some suite rooms with the oversize bath literally in the centre of the room. When correctly positioned on the bed, you can watch TV and someone in the bath simultaneously! I guess it’s all good clean fun!

marisse, good grief, I thought I was ingesting incredible amount of calories with the leche flan experiments, you sound like you had a 6,000 calorie Sunday! :)

OUT OF TOPIC AGAIN: bettyq,Your fudgy brownies are really super sarap!! This is the brownie I like and am looking for and am so happy with it.I was worrying why I was using only 1/3 cup AP flour but yehey!! It was fudgy…really,really good and it is in the color that a brownie should be!! Salamat again!! Grabe,your recipes fit me to a T.(grr..except that elusive putong ube hahaha).I also make my own tocino and don’t buy them anymore..just made some…Salamat.
MM,I also made your version of FFTG!! I used a better brand of muscovado sugar in lieu of white sugar and I added some figs…Ooooooo and it is in the color I want.This is a fruitful day for me!! Thanks!
