shella, actually I am not sure about the differences. I do know that sotanghon properly made is from mung bean (monggo), not rice. I am not sure what bihon is made from. Canton is made from egg and flour. Korean noodles are sometimes made from sweet potatoes, etc.

I think the difference between sotanghon and bihon is that they are made from the same thin, rice glass noodle but the sotanghon is wetter. The bihon is drier. Am I right Market Man? Also is canton made from egg noodles, and a bit thicker than sotanghon or bihon? Cheers.

@baby, if you want to try an easy to make homemade ham, try the “Hamon Bulakenya”. Just google it and you will find the recipe. The only ingredient you might find hard to get is the prague powder, but it should be available if you live in the Philippines, if you live in North America, just google the prague powder and you will find some online Spice Stores that carry them. Prague powder is curing salt, you may even substitute prague powder with Morton’s curing salt. It takes between 3-4 days to cure and on the 5th day you boil/simmer the meat and you get a good substitute for chinese ham.

vicky go Yes, yes!! (excited tone) st. jude is the patron saint of the impossible cases so people flock there for relationships, businesses, examinations. you probably have to take jeep to echague (ilalim ng tulay) then hop on jeep to san rafael and walk to st. jude.

It’s been years (30-40?)since I’ve been in thearea. Is the St. Jude shrine where college students flock to on the eve of exams in the area? I remember taking a jeep fr Dapitan behind UST – I think we had to transfer somewhere in Quiapo – to go there. Sometimes we’d take a bus from where the South Superhighway intersected Highway 54 (close to Makati) that went through the area to get to Espana & then walk to Dapitan; instead of taking the ones that go through Taft Ave. I don’t even know if these road names still hold true or they have all been renamed.

Chris, i do not remember going to vienna bakery, maybe because my classmates and i would sneak out as soon as school ends (after the thursday st. jude novena) and just wander the streets. i remember the espasol, pinipig, banana-Q….
those carefree days. some days we would head off to divisoria and ride the small banca across the river. never mind me, now i feel like crying (out of nostalgia).

Chris: a word of warning if you haven’t had rose water, or not too keen on aromatic additives. It is an acquired taste, much like some people cannot stand cinnamon ( I love it). I also did not particularly care for jasmine tea in my earlier life, but for me , rose water is a killer. I cannot stand the thought of eating/drinking anything flavored with it when it also comes as a favorite after shave lotion of some tour guides in India and Nepal. I also associate it with the undertones/ overtones? of body scents….if you know what I mean., but that is only me. No offense to those who love it.
