One day last week, the children were staying with their cousins and I was too lazy to cook for lunch.

I saw that the nearby sari-sari store is open so I went to buy three packs of chili-mansi pancit canton. I didn’t put all three packs of seasoning, I only used two packs.

Like it would make having this justifiable huh? But then again, I only have chili-mansi pancit canton once in a blue moon.

I had a glass of ice-cold Coke with this plate of chili-mansi pancit canton 😉 So much for healthy eating, lol.

Got half a kilo of siniguelas when we bought several bags of Vienna Bakery Hopia last Sunday. There’s a bag of those hopia beside the water in the photo.

I wished I bought more siniguelas though. Those in the photo are not everything in the batch of the half-kilo I got. Hubby said that half a kilo we bought seemed few. In other words, madaya ang kilohan.

Naku, alam nyo naman sa Quiapo, kahit nasa harap ng simbahan eh… yun na yun.

Bangusilog from GoodAh!!!

Hubby and I were looking for a place to have a super late dinner after we had our movie spa date. He suggested we check out the not-so-newly opened GoodAh!!! branch near us.

There was a wall there with old photos of their branches and this got the hubby and me reminiscing about the few times we went to have late dinners there while we were still dating.

When we got our orders, the food smelled and looked the same except of course, the sizes but now smaller. Hubby’s order of longsilog was a bit of a disappointment because what used to be big longganisas (there used to be three or even 4)  are now reduced to a third of the serving they used to serve. My bangus looked like a young one, only cut in half.

It became a place for reminiscing the old times, and that includes thinking about the food servings then.

Oh well…

UPDATE 10:30pm I asked hubby if he still wants to go back there, the answer was “yes”.

Pixie’s Bangus is one dish we get if we are running a bit late in going home from somewhere and there’s no time to cook. That or we always have it during family dinners with the in-laws.

The smell of Pixie’s Bangus is good enough to whet the appetite. The kids love it too.

Lately though it seems that I might need a table lamp to see the veggies inside the fish OR see the fish underneath a pile of tomatoes. Nah, I’m kidding but I have to admit,  something’s different with this food: less of these tomatoes and onions now compared to 3 years ago and the bangus are smaller and the prices are a bit higher.
