According to iPhone: Valentine's Date

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day! As for me, I am still in food coma after munching out on lechon and other scrumptious Filipino dishes that Kamay Kainan (West Ave.) has to offer. I will do a separate restaurant review on them but for now, here's what Valentine's day was to me according to my iPhone.

For my first plate, I chose pork tonkatsu and pata tim as my starters.

The pata tim was so good I had to come back and get some more! I also took a serving spoonful of paksiw na lechon.

For my last plate, I finished it off with deep fried shimps paired with a hot bowl of papaitan.

For dessert, I actually went back twice and got the same thing. I had ginataan bilo-bilo (sticky rice balls) and ube (purple yam) bread.

Good Shepherd's Ube Jam

I've had my fair share of craziness when it comes to ube jams (yes, I love purple yams), and one particular brand, or shall I say, makers of ube jam, that never fails to give me that addiction to go back in forth in our fridge is the one from Good Shepherd in Baguio City.

In our recent trip to Baguio, I didn't let this chance pass by and so I hoarded on Good Shepherd's ube jam. It's been 10 years since I last ate a whole jar, and I must say, the quality, the smell, and the taste is still the same.

I'm not sure if this was happening before, but right now, they have this really warm message placed on the lid which, every time I read it, makes me smile. See for yourself:

Unfortunately,the time that we went there, all of the big jars got sold out. That didn't stop me from buying so I settled with the small ones, which retails for Php140.00/jar. Check out my review on it in Tripadvisor!
