Hej MM!
It’s been a long while! I’ve missed your posts! Now I’m making up with triple comments.
Today I was pleasantly reminded of your blog when Anton of AOP wrote about your Zubuchon Manila! Fantastic! Congratulations! Another feather to your already feathered hat! I was salivating as I read the review and all the want-to/must-try dishes at Zubuchon. I must make sure I will be fit to take in all the dishes when hubby and I come visiting in December. The dinuguan is a must-try as Per is now a convert to the dish despite my using blodpudding to make a compromise dinuguan. And of course the lechon is top of the agenda.

And so to your rhubarb compote. I too love rhubarb! It’s good to know that it grows in the Phils. at least where it’s cool. It grows like weeds (at least in the northern hemisphere) once it has taken roots and as a perennial will continue to grow year in and year out. The more you trim it (collecting the lovely pink stems) the more it will grow new shoots. Have you also smothered this compote on a well-buttered sourdough toast? Or a toasted croissant? Heavenly breakfast treat! How did you manage to get an almost clear compote considering you have both strawberries and rhubarb in it? It usually gets a bit cloudy when I’ve made it. I would love to have your recipe, please!

Many thanks for your continued blogging! I am now updating myself by reading your posts. I too feel so sorry for the loss of your beloved Ginger! I’ve read about her in your previous posts some years back and I liked her intelligent chocolately looks!

Cheers!

marj, it’s on Talisay street near the corner with Yakal street, roughly 100 meters behind the makati fire station (covenient for roasting, hahaha), but I think the tarp is down as they were working on that part of the building… it’s a bit of a mess honestly, but people have been taking photos of the worksite… huh? :)

Kasseopeia, so that’s who it was… workers say some “crazed” folks just walk up to take selfies and grill them on opening date… worksite is supposed to be off-limits, but they are amused, parang “groupies” daw… hahaha.

Mary, you go on the south expressway service road from taguig, that’s on the left side of the highway when headed towards Alabang from Makati. Then you turn left when you get to FTI, about 6-8 minutes from Fort Bonifacio gate, depending on traffic (I go early Saturday mornings). And at the main gate of FTI, now owned by Ayala, you enter and take a left and up about 100 meters and that’s the market.

Hi MM! May I ask where the AANI Market is currently located?
I haven’t been to FTI since college (which was in 2001 – 2003 hahahaha) and i will definitely get lost there now! ^_^

This post confirms that it was indeed you I saw at the FTI market yesterday! :-) It was my first time to go there. I was inspired to do that because of reading your blog.
