The Salcedo Market
The Saturday market in Salcedo is always a bright spot in my usually i-hate-coming-to-work-on-a-weekend mood. It certainly gives me something to look forward to as I get to try different kinds of food. And I always make sure to try something new each week. This week though, I was feeling diet-y and got a fresh Chinese lumpia :)

chillin' on a hot day
Just when I thought I have fulfilled my promise to avoid eating anything that resembles dessert for 2 weeks .. I have failed again. I have been invited for an afternoon snack at The Peninsula Manila to celebrate a friend's birthday. Since the couple are 'balikbayans' and will fly back to the US in a couple of days, I didn't pass up the chance to spend some time with them.
Upon reaching their table at the lobby of The Pen, I was told we were having ice cream, I forgot my Lenten promise and just grabbed the ice cream menu. I know this is going to be good, since The Pen is known for they're superb ice cream. A little pricey, yes, at a minimum of 600 bucks per bowl, but they are to die for.
The birthday girl got herself a Halo- Halo. I got the Fruit and Yogurt bowl.. still trying to semi-fulfill my promise by getting "fat-free" dessert. My other 3 companions shared the famous Pen Pals: 21 scoops of ice cream and sorbet, with slices of tropical fruits, marshmallows, chocolate wafers and topped with whipped cream and cherries. It was pretty insane.
My bowl is a mix of mango and strawberry frozen yogurt with fresh fruit slices. Since these 2 are my favorite fruits ever, I devoured it and finished first. Of course, I wouldn't pass up a chance to have some of the Pen Pals, so I helped myself and had those too.
It was the perfect way to spend a hot Saturday afternoon.
