Mango-ong: Green Mango and Singkamas with Bagoong

Mango-ong: Green Mango and Singkamas with Bagoong

It’s lunch time and i’m contemplating whether to brave the heat or not just to get a box of Mango-ong. Yes, you heard me right… I said Mango-ong. Nope, it’s not one of those shortened terms like OMG! or LOL!, but it’s actually a brand of a new product at Robinson’s Galleria.

Mango-ong serves sliced green mango and sliced singkamas. The green mango is priced at Php 20 for half a mango and Php 10 for half a slice of singkamas. You also have the option to choose the bagoong that you want. They have choices of bagoong which differs in saltiness, sweetness and spiciness. They have an indicator printed on one of the signs in the stall so that you will have a guide on what to choose.Continue reading »

We definitely made the right choice! This Filipino restaurant in the relatively new Rockwell Business Center in Ortigas (beside Medical City) served food that was appetizing, memorable and probably “home sickness enducing” dishes. Continue reading »

Itinerary for a 3-day stay in Vietnam (Day 2)

Our second day at Vietnam was spent by taking the Mekong River Tour. Some friends and a few locals actually discouraged us from taking this tour — like taking a tour of Pasig River according to them. I disagree though since we had fun and got a glimpse of provincial life in Vietnam (at least the idealized version of provincial life).Continue reading »

For those who do not know about this, there is also what they call Gourmet Tuyo. It’s tuyo (dried fish) that comes in a bottle. The brand that pushed this Gourmet Tuyo is Gustazo.Continue reading »
