[Food] All-time Fave: Sizzling Hot Blue Crabs with Baguio Beans

I cooked this for the family :) December revelry won’t be complete without sizzling hot blue crabs on our table. I saw this stall inside the vibrant wet market nearby which sells blue crabs and milk fish. I seldom chance upon a stall with a display of fresh blue crab stocks.  I guess it’s my ‘lucky craving day’ and I surely didn’t miss it.  I bought a handful one kilo of crabs worth Php250 and one-fourth kilo of Baguio beans to toast around; which costs me additional P20. Though it is undeniable that there is abundant supply of mud crabs through out the year in this part of the country, blue crabs make the cut. It boasts of delicious meat and soft shells to chomp while you eagerly sip on the crab flesh.  Fresh blue...

Hula hoop At Night Time. One of the coolest and rare moments while in Cebu

I went for a walk one night in Cebu after visiting the centuries-old Basilica del Sto. Nino church. What came next was extraordinary and pure bliss. While beside the road waiting for a taxi, I heard some noise coming from the plaza some distance away. It sounded fun and i could see people flocking the plaza so I just had to walk over there and see what it was all about. Lo and behold, it's a concert for Yolanda survivors! Sunrise Festival held last November 22-24, 2013 at Plaza Independencia in Cebu City is a testament of unity and courage for the Filipinos. It brought together people and performers coming from all over places. Attending one night of the festival is more than enough inspiration for me. ...
