Tastes of Home

One of the advantages of working for a Filipino owned company is that every once in awhile, someone from the Philippines comes over to wherever I am. And whenever that happens, I always prepare a wish list of things that I want from the Philippines. More often than not, that list is populated with nothing but food items. When my boss arrived last week (as part of the business trips), I was delighted as he brought me my bag of goodies.

This is what I received:
- 2 boxes of ensaymada... not just any ensaymada but Mary Grace ensaymada!
- Ladies Choice guava jelly
- several cans of Purefood sisig

I normally request for sisig and ensaymada, but this is the first time I asked for guava jelly. I searched high and low for guava jelly here in England but could not find any. Not in the filipino stores and not on the high street supermarkets. So imagine my delight when I saw that jar of sweet stuff. I immediately got my knife and started spreading.

Sky flakes and guava jelly... a match made in heaven!

What are the things that you crave for?
