Breakfast | Sony DSC H-1
After more than 2 years of living alone, I finally bought kitchen stuff - a single burner electric stove, a pot and a pan. I'm still looking for the 'perfect' (read: multi-tasking, durable and cheap, but still nice-looking) kitchen-top oven.
So this is my first home-cooked meal, breakfast at 5pm, after waking up at 4:30 ;p Bacon and egg served with pastries I got from the supermarket. It tastes like barquillos but coated with a bit of sugar and lightly spiced with ginger. It's good. :) I don't think I have tasted anything similar before.
Today, breakfast. Tomorrow, fiesta!

The label of the pastry says it's a product of Korea - and I don't find this surprising. Over the last few years Koreans have started showing up everywhere in our islands, and since there's a demand, Korean products have also showed up. 7-11 even carries soju now. I'm not exactly sure what they're here for - I haven't asked my Korean officemates. A friend says some Koreans choose to migrate to our islands because of the cheaper cost of living. Others find the Baguio climate similar to their spring weather. There's a Korean-style condominium being built there now. Oh, and there are those who are staying here to study English as 2nd language. It's probably a combination of all these reasons.
I wonder when the uber cute guys on K-dramas will start flying in.
