My personal favorite unusual pairings: Stirfried ampalaya and salted egg, mmm! Just had that for lunch in a taiwanese resto, ampalaya is briefly stir fried so it’s got bite and not soggy. Arugula+tomato+ cheese is super yummy! Royce potato chips dipped in Chocolate is a-ma-zing! I also love banana and pinoy style runny peanut butter but not sure if it’s an unusual pairing. My husband loves potato chips and banana alternately eaten.

In China, mixing JW or Chivas with bottled green tea is a standard KTV drink. I actually like it better than drinking whiskey straight. Wine is also usually mixed with soda, but that ruins the taste for me.

Hmmm.. if people think bacon and chocolate taste great together… perhaps chicharon dipped in dark chocolate would be great too! Marketman, why don’t you try it? Chocochicharon!

Here in australia-dont have time to make these things so, I improvise w/ oatmeal porridge at work (we have them everyday for the age care residents),
and I have my own condensada at the back of our staff fridge….ask the cook to save me some baked-caramelized BACON (tuskig gyud) if not anchovies quickly fried. I put a few squares of dark chocolate on top of the piping hot oatmeal porridge, or milo…and top w/drizzles of condensada and the tuskig bacon or fried anchovies, bingo! i have my PRN for the day……with my kind of work….I have to think of some “reward” while doing all my ‘showers” for the morning, we start as early as 5am…..awwwww.
