A Good Idea Gone Bad

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

The devastation of The Earth by the pursuit for renewable energy sources, namely biofuel.
I can’t help but notice there is a rice shortage in The Philippines and the government is having to import a shortfall of 2.7 million metric tons of foreign grown rice.
But there is no shortage of biofuel. I do not see much [...]

Chicken Inasal - Bacolod Style

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Marissa and I ate at a new restaurant at Tiano-Makahambus Streets called Chicken Inasal. We shared kinilaw malasugue, which was very good but not quite as good as the kinilaw that Marissa makes for me. I had two of the chicken liver BBQ sticks, for 30 pesos each. Marissa has the Chicken [...]

The Street Vendors are Back

Monday, October 15th, 2007

I wrote about how Cagayan de Oro Mayor Tinnex Jaraula was clearing out the street vendors, but they’re back.

Just before passing this scene I passed five uniformed PNP officers. Perhaps they were discussing taking some action against the street vendors.

Monday, August 20th, 2007

The first one I hit, I was driving down J.R. Borja Extension, which is a 4-lane road with a curbed but grassy median. Actually, while [...]

I had the best meal I’ve had yet in The Philippines at J & Greens House Seafood Resteruant. The price of the meal was very high for The Philippines, but the service was impeccable and the seafood we picked out live from their many saltwater tanks. The shrimp were the largest I have [...]

Eat all you can (All you can eat)

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

Jason’s Grill in Cebu has “eat all you can” (as opposed to “all you can eat”) for P135, about $2.65. Most “eat all you can” places in Phil post signs that if you do not finish all the food you take you’ll be charged an additional fee. Jason’s Grill posts that the penalty [...]

McDonald’s serves rice, spagetti, and fried chicken

Saturday, August 19th, 2006

McDonalds serves spagetti and rice in Phil. A Quarter Pounder meal is about $2.05 (P11), large sized, but the large drink is smaller than a small drink in USA. McD’s also serves fried chicken. There are no salads and or special meals and the breakfasts are just the basic McMuffins. But [...]
