I have been battling about putting spaces or line breaks between paragraphs here bUT grrrr it isn’t working. now, i don’t want to post here anymore. see my last post? how chaotic is that? hope wordpress can resolve this issue…i’m seriously wanting to create another blog huhu
hmmm i just made a solution – put “period(s)” to achieve the space a want for every paragraph…so i’m posting here again…though, i will probably go back to blogspot…will let u know then.
Among the many things that came new to me when I migrated here in NZ is the food. Although I still go to the Asian store(s) to buy stuff that will satisfy my Pinoy taste, there are NZ foods that I came to like/love too. Here are they:
Kiwi fruit
Who wouldn’t like to eat the Kiwi fruit? I love the green ones (kinda sour) better than the golden ones (sweet) though. The latter tastes like Philippine chico which I don’t like.

Feijoa
This has a similar taste and look as guava but better. I like our guavas back home but I just don’t like the teeny-weeny hard seeds that aren’t friendly to my teeth. Feijoas are softer in texture so it’s perfect for me. Love them heaps!

Strawberries (and the picking too):
I have had a taste of strawberries before back in PI and I didn’t really like it that much. Baguio/Bukidnon strawberries are kinda sour. Strawberries here are big and sweet! Oh, I love NZ stawberries…and not to mention the delightful smell hmmmm…yummy!

Pink Salmon
We can’t have a week without this. Never mind the price; it has the healthy and hearty benefits anyway. You can opt to buy just the head and have your tinola/sinigang, that would be affordable.

Red Snapper
This is a common catch if you go fishing here in NZ but it’s somewhat expensive if you buy it through a fishmonger. Still, it’s worth it! You can bake, fry or whatever you feel like doing to the fish, it’s all gooooddd!

NZ beef
Of course! NZ is known for its countless healthy cows. They don’t just produce cheap and truly “fresh” milk, they also make tender and juicy beef. No need for a pressure cooker and say goodbye to that odd smell of beef. Yes, NZ has premium quality of beef meat! Two thumbs up for bistik (steak) and pochero (stew) lovers like me!

Yet, my fondness for lechon, talangka, bagoong, lapu-lapu fish, tuna panga, sweet mangoes and countless mouth-watering Pinoy foods is incomparable! Lami-a gyud (certainly delectable)!!!
