Brought home lots of variety of coffee from Malaysia, ready-made sauce for laksa, their ayam brand of canned goods and dried mushrooms as these ones are cheap there especially during Chinese New Year.

Zataar from the spice souk in Dubai was one of the strangest (and most useful) thing ive brought back from my trip. I use it anywhere from pasta dishes to marinates yum!

My sister who now lives in New Jersey once brought home 2 LARGE FROZEN TURKEYS when they made an emergency trip back to the Philippines due to the death of her husband’s father. It was packed inside their hand carried luggage and was wrapped with layers of clothes LOL!!!

Their next visit home, they brought forth a luggage full of fresh berries (blueberries, black currants and other stuff whose names I don’t recognize)

Maybe next time I will request another TURKEY…hahaha

Its a good thing customs here are used to the Pinoy’s pasalubong mentality!!!

I am now in Ho Chi Minh City and there’s so much temptation to sneak in limes and lemons in my suitcase when I get back. But I work in pest management and understand the quarantine issues involved, so I would just squeeze the limes on my pho bo here. I will however, bring home arabica coffee beans, cashew nuts, crushed dried chili, black pepper corns, honey and Le Fruit jams.

My grappa and lemonchello which I bought in Italy arrived perfectly safe… I checked which yachts were crossing from Europe to Florida and asked friends to bring my stuff that even included some white dry wines I bought in Ischia… a greek friend going back to Athens for the holidays and I already gave him a list of food he must bring back for me from Greece.

carina, the photo was taken BEFORE I closed the maleta or suitcase. :) But the stuff survived the short flight quite well, I must say.

Hi betty q! You won’t believe it but I found itlog na maalat and tuyo in Chinatown here in Victoria. I was so happy! I’m not sure about the neighbours though but oh well… Now I just need mangang hilaw.

Mind you, I wouldn’t mind making it myself. I’ll look up the recipe in google and try craig’s list for duck egg like you suggested. That would be cool. If I ever get to do it, I’ll post it in my blog.
