Bastos (Socially incorrect in behaviour)- The Comedy of Rex Navarrete

I just discovered this guy over the weekend and he's mental! Now I know why Filipinos can be late for appointments but they don't mind at all! :) And while they can be sensitive, they are also a great friendly bunch who do not mind laughing at themselves and their quirks, as demonstrated on this audio recording of Navarrete's skits. I enjoyed this comedy audio recording immensely and perhaps a number of you out there would too!

Laugh your socks off with Rex Navarrete!

Mabuhay! Savour the Delights of Filipino Cuisine!

If you've not had the fortune to delight your tastebuds with the many delicious dishes that the Philippines have to offer, this is your chance to try your hand at making some of them! The Filipino Cookbook (The Maya Kitchen) provides not one, not ten, not even thirty famous yet simple receipes, but 119 of them in a beautifully illustrated book.

If you're worried that this is another cookbook which provides nice pictures of the dishes but offers confusing instructions, fear not! The Filipino Cookbook features straight-forward but simple step-by-step instructions on how to prepare each dish. I'm pretty sure my beautiful Filipino girlfriend will love this, as she can not only dish up the many local delights (as she is working and living in a foreign country), it also allows me to experience and appreciate them. Honestly, my hungry tummy can't wait! :)

So, if you're yearning to sink your teeth into Filipino favourites like Crispy Pata, Sinigang, Kare-Kare, Pancit Malabon, and the place where you live does not have any, or even if it does, you simply want to prepare your own, grab a copy of this cookbook now!
