<br />
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
It has been
a long time since I had a blog post. My last actual post was last August
because I have been so busy with work. In addition to that, we received a big
surprise - I found out that we're pregnant! It was so overwhelming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's not that we're not trying, but we were
still caught by surprise!</div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Last
October, I noticed that my AF was delayed by 2 weeks. I decided to try and do
a home pregnancy test and I got a faint positive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried testing by day to see if it will
change. Some say that it can turn out to be false positive, or if the lines
continue to be faint, it might be a blighted ovum.</div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
We went
to the doctor and since it was too early , my OB just prescribed some tests and
vitamins and asked me to go back on my 4th week. My 4th week came and my OB did
a TVS, and there it was. My OB pointed out the fetus' heart which was already
beating. It was barely recognizable, more like a white speck against a black
screen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The feeling was surreal. I can't
imagine a tiny little being forming, growing inside me.</div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I waited
until it was confirmed by the doctor before I told everyone (Of course we told
our parents first and they were ecstatic!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Even
before the pregnancy was confirmed, I was already searching for pregnancy
reveal ideas. There were a lot of awesome ideas in pinterest. But the one that
we came up with was this:</div>

<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
We
arrived in Baguio at about 1pm. We were still kinda full because of our hefty
breakfast at Isdaan Restaurant during our stopover in Tarlac. But since I am
super excited to try out the much raved ribs at Canto Restaurant in the Ketchup Food
community, we went ahead and drove to Wright Park to eat.</div>

Ketchup
food community consists of five restaurants, Rancho Norte which serves Filipino
food, Green pepper that boasts italian cuisine, Happy tummy for thai food
lovers, Rumah Sate which caters Indo-Malay food and Canto which is famous for
their pork ribs and burgers. Parking is a bit of a problem though, we had to
park across the street because they didn't have enough parking. </div>

I still
have a hangover from Calle verde's ribs when we went to Cebu last year. They
were inexpensive but really good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we
decided to try Canto. I ordered their bestseller, the lomo pork ribs, while
hubby tried their chili burger. To go with it, we tried their almond gulaman
drink. </div>

<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I was
surprised when our drinks arrived, they're purple! But they were really good and
refreshing. At the bottom of the drink were almond jelly which I get to eat
after I finished the drink. For a cheap price of P20.00, I wouldn't mind having
another one!</div>

The ribs
weren't as big as Calla verde's but It was so juicy and flavorful. It
was also so tender that the meat fell right off the bone. The salad was also a
delight. At first, I thought the the red bits were tomatoes, but they weren't..
they were watermelon! They also added bits of peanut brittle that added tiny
hints of sweetness and crunch to the salad. </div>

The chili
burger was also good. It looks<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>messy in
the picture, but once you take a bite,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Sally Mae of
<a href="http://thebudgetfashionseeker.blogspot.sg/">thebudgetfashionseeker</a> nominated me for the Liebster Award, and I didn't know
what it was until I read her post. It's actually a chain post that helps
bloggers with less than 200 followers gain more readers! It will surely help a
lot of beginner bloggers like me to have more followers. Thanks Sally Mae, it's
an honor to be one of your nominees!</div>

<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Last
weekend, hubby and I went on a road trip to Baguio. Since we both have been
there, we decided to have a laid back itinerary. We did not plan anything, and
we just took it one day at a time. We
travelled by car which is also great because we were free to stop anytime, plus, we
did not worry about carrying the lot of pasalubongs we bought. </div>

<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
We made our first
stop in Tarlac. We decided to try out this place called Isdaan floating
restaurant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although the resto serves
Filipino food, it has a Balinese feel to it. </div>

We were
led to a hut directly across the famous "tacsiyapo", which I will
discuss later on. I liked the hut, it sat beside a pond which had lots of kois
swimming around. All the huts had white draperies which I found very romantic.
Since we arrived there at about 9am, the only food available on the menu were
the breakfast items. I got the lechon kawali in adobo rice while hubby got
liempo in adobo rice. </div>

They also
instructed us to just hit a switch if we need anything and opposite the switch was
a red light (more like a siren). Which makes sense, because there were a lot of huts and they were far apart. There was
also a band that went to every hut to serenade the customers. </div>

Our meals
were served on a banana leaf with tomatoes and eggs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The servings were huge and I liked the
presentation. However, I was disappointed because my lechon kawali was a bit
hard and our sunny side-ups were dry that it seemed like they weren't newly
cooked. My hubby<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>said that our dishes
tasted the same. Maybe because they're both pork and we both had adobo
rice. When I tried his dish, I did not taste the smoked flavor of
grilled pork. I was
also looking for that garlic-y flavor of the adobo rice but it wasn't there.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the experience of eating surrounded by the water and
all the fishes and I really loved the ambiance. </div>

We were
also able to try the "tacsiyapo". According to the staff, it means
"bwiset" in tagalog. What you do is you choose from the items they
have ranging from P18.00 for the mugs and plates to P2,000 for a TV. But you
won't be bringing your purchase home, rather, you will aim on the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>painted<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

I would
definitely go back to this place, probably with my family. Next time though, I
will make it a point to arrive at lunchtime so that I could try their seafood
and house specialties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> If you're en route to Baguio or somewhere North, this is surely a nice place to stop over. </span></div>

<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Place
chicken fillet on a heated pan and saute. Once the chicken becomes opaque, add
in soy sauce. Let it simmer for<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a couple
of minutes. After that, you can now add the mushrooms, onions, garlic and
ginger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Saute until ingredients are well
mixed and the onions become transparent. Pour 4-5 tablespoons of hoisin sauce
and stir until chicken is well-coated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then you can add the chili flakes. Let it stay for about 3 minutes to
allow the flavors to blend in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add
spring onions just before you remove it from heat.</div>

Although I prepare cooked meals on weekends that we store in the fridge and re-heat once in a while, sometimes, I get tired of the usual ulam that I cook. Especially now that I'm just starting to learn how to cook and there's not a lot of recipes that I know yet. Today, I will show you how I cook one of our favorites, the monterey sisig.</span><br />

<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
When I
was a kid, I always had 'pasalubong' from my dad everytime he goes home from
work. Yes, I'm a -what you would call- a daddy's girl. He always spoils me with
pasalubongs. Anyway, there were two things that I would always request for: 1)
jolly hotdog or 2) amazing aloha. Either one of these should be coupled with a
peach mango pie. Which I remember at that time, is half as big as its current
size.</div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Unfortunately,
amazing aloha did not stay long on the menu unlike the jolly hotdog and the
peach mango pie. It was removed from the market at that time, returned after a
few years (with Sam Milby as the endorser), and again, it was gone.</div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-PH" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
And now,
it is making a huuuge comeback, literally! It's now made even bigger with two
patties! Now this, I gotta try.</div>

Looking inside though, I was disappointed when I saw that the pineapple was rather pale. In addition, the honey mustard sauce was scanty. What used to be bacon strips were now replaced with bacon "bits".</div>

The factors mentioned above made a big impact to the aloha's taste. The ingredients did not blend in well together, probably because there ain't too much dressing. I did not even feel the presence of the bacon. Unlike before, when the smoked flavor of the bacon was still lingering even after I finished the burger. The pale pineapple did not have much flavor to it.<br />

<br />
In conclusion, I would have preferred the old and original recipe, made with a more flavorful pineapple and bacon strips. After all, these are what makes it "amazing aloha" right?<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Welcome
to Misspeaks! Join me as I check out different food finds in the metro: whether
it be a dish from your favorite fast food, a serving from a fancy
restaurant or a new product from the supermarket, these will all be subjected to rigorous taste tests. As I mentioned in my blog description, I am a picky eater.
I usually stick to "tried and tested" restaurants and this venture
is a new thing for me. But since I love food, I am willing to try everything
(well, I guess except for that one thing I really hate - see below) to share
this passion to everyone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

speaks and I have been together for a long time but there are some things -
especially on food - that we don’t agree much on. For example, I like yogurt and
sushi but he doesn't. He's fond of sweets, cookies and chocolates, but I just
can't bear too much of those. It's an interesting match indeed! Given our different
preferences, we hope to bring you a different flavor to your usual food
