Loot Bag

My brother and his family just got back from Manila a couple of days ago, and while I look forward to their stories and pictures, I’m 5x happier because they were able to sneak bring in 10, yes, 10 Kowloon House Siopao bola bola, about 5 bags of vacuum-packed bagnets, 3 bags of vacuum-packed Vigan longganisa, 1 can of burong mangga, 3 canisters of Picnic Ketchup Fries and an SM grocery bag full of my favorite chichirya and pastillas. Heheheeee.

I would have requested them to throw in a few orders of Siomai with bottled chili garlic but that might be pushing it a little bit. :lol:

oooohhh sarap!! you had me at kowloon house bolabola siopao.

oi ha, ang diet. yung hindi mo kakainin ipadala mo ang sobra dito sa akin. hahaha!

Mee, binilin ko talaga yan, three years na akong di nakakakain nyan!

DIET? what does that mean? :D

abby, tama ba namang manginggit?! hahaha! :) enjoy your loots! mmmwah!

Hahaa, sorry I can’t help it. I’m sharing the good news! :)

hey, what’s bagnets? and what does burong mangga look like? and how the hell did they sneak in siopao without it getting spoiled?

you’re making me hungry!

Jen, Bagnet is an Ilocano version of Lechon Kawali (I think, anyone care to clarify?) i didn’t know this until J’s sister’s hubby sent us some before. Burong Mangga is pickled green mangoes, slices of pucker-inducing awesomeness. As for the siopao, my IL’s brought it the night before my brother left, so give or take it’s less than 24 hours in transit, in a somewhat cool temp, then straight to my fridge. So far it doesn’t taste funny, so I’m still in for the kill, hehee. :D

Keep this in mind when you go back to MNL! I remember you mentioned Erynne eats siopao like there’s no tomorrow! :)

inggit naman ako!

Hi Faye! Naku, sorry, hehe! :)

Waaa Kowloon House siopao!! Nakakagutom lol

Hi Mik! I don’t know about everyone else, but isn’t Kowloon House the daddy of siopao goodness? :D

now, i’m craving for vigan longganisa. and your brother has much talent - can’t imagine how he brought in 10 siopao bola-bola!!!

Hello Abie! Binilin naman ni J yun longganisa, talagang titipirin nya since we were told it can last for six months!

My brother’s strategy was pinaghiwa-hiwalay yung mga pagkain, para in case ma-random check ang isang bagahe, medyo saved na yung iba. thankfully they weren’t checked! :)

enge :)

Hahahaa, chure ba! :)

Hi abby!

Na-miss ko bigla ang vigan longganisa with sukang iloko. Ikain mo na lang ako. :)

Hi Den! Parang nai-imagine ko na yung breakfast sa weekend, garlic fried rice, with this and itlog, sarap!

na-miss ko ang longganisa. i like burong mangga, too!! sarap!

Hi Tin! Nakakamiss nga! Are there any filipino stores in Oz? You might be able to get your fix there! :)

I’m surprised about the ketchup fries. Isn’t Picnik imported?

Hi Em, I’ve been searching for years, and I couldn’t find one in any of the grocery stores I’ve gone to! They only have those regular shoe string potatoes, pero not Picnik brand.

Piyesta na!

Hahaa, oo! Uy, I mishu! :)

haynakooo abby! kinalimutan mo kong i-email! handang-handa pa naman yung ihahatid sa kuya mo :( di bale, padala ko na lang ha :D

Leeen!! Sorry talaga, di ko namalayan na paalis na pala sila kinabukasan when I got your text message. Email kita! :)

Pahingi ng bagnets. May nagsabi sa akin na masarap daw iyan! Never had them before. :)

i’ve been craving for kowloon siopao for years, five years to be exact. and the closest i could get my hands on is the mami king siopao. kainis noh :(

May kapatid pa ba yung loot bag mo? Baka you can ship it to me naman here sa kingdom (*drool*) - hehehe!

Kowloon siopao bola-bola - yummy! Is this the one with salted egg too? Bola-bola wins over asado hands down as far as I’m concerned… and the bagnet…oooh, I can hear my tummy rumbling now!

Happy eating!

wow inggit! tagal ko na di nakaka pag Kowloon House. hmm, mukang may mga idadagdag ako sa list for my mom-in-law when she comes over…

He-he! Natawa ako sa tuwa mo. :)

Miss ko na ang bagnet. Sarap nun with mungo!

wow bagnet! wow kowloon siopao! Hay you are sooo lucky to have all these goodies from pinas heheh!
