Yummy Summer

Okay, I think my PMS is wayyy finished , and I' m feeling lighter and lighter!

Yes, it's May , and summer's almost over, but the temperature is still wayyyy feverish hot. The remedy to that? Simple! A bowlful of crushed ice, adorned with nata de coco, leche flan, macapuno strips, sago, ube flavored ice cream, and a splashful of milk. Ahhhh!!!! This is such a mouth watering entry that I find myself reaching for some halohalo! Yes, halohalo is my official dessert this summer season.


If you look at this picture that I saw from Chewy Chua's flickr account
I'm sure that your mouth is watering already, as much as mine is. Hahahaha! I can't say anything but....YUMMMYYYY!!!! :) I'm so brokenhearted that my friend who owned an Icebergs franchise near my home closed it down already, so I am forced to have some halohalo delivered from Chowking, then the other day, some saba con hielo from Jollibee. Now, I'm asking my folks to buy me some ingredients so that we can make our own! Yipeee! Unlimited supply of dessert!

Gosh, I've been eating like a pig lately, reaching for chocolates, ice cream, and my favorite Chinese food. I binge ate last Friday with tons of dimsum at Causeway, and the xiao long pao ( a siomai that is a little bit bigger than the usual ) reminded me so much of my Shanghai trip last February. The xiao long pao served in Shanghai was absolutely exquisite. It had soup stock inside the delicately wrapped dimsum that you had to be careful in using your spoon to get it or the dimsum would burst, and you'd be eating it minus the incredibly delish soup stock. Wahhhhh I am craving for food right now!

Me drooling over the Xiao Long Pao at Din Tai Fung Resto in Shanghai
I remember it was freezing cold out there even in my thermal wear! The food made my tummy and soul warm :) Yum:)

Okay, this must be the hungriest day of my life, because I have edited this entry as I found more mouth watering pictures from my favorite buddy D's multiply account from our Shanghai escapades! I NEED FOOD!

The incredibly yummy Mango Pudding! I remember this so well! Ahhh!!! The perfect after-lunch desert.

Okay, for a last one, this picture is really making my mom so darn envious- she's been eating these in Chinatown since she was little, now, the Chinese have fled and they don't sell them anymore here! I found them in Shanghai - Sugar-coated ( well, melted ) Strawberries! Absolute heaven! The strawberries in China are incredibly big , and the moment you bite them, there is an undeniable marriage of sweetness and freshness! A refreshing, sigh-worthy taste of strawberry just takes your breath away!

Y-U-M!

And of course, I have my justification that I can eat as much as I want because I never get fat! Hahaha! ( now , don't eat your words later! ) Okay, I just think I need some exercise when June comes. I don't want to celebrate my birthday looking like a bloated pig. :)

Oops, I just remembered. I'm going to the beach next week! Hahahaha ! I am sooo dead!
