Shanghai Bistro - Paseo Center, MakatiHo humm...
Filling...
But not quite satisfactory...
Last May, my family went to China for a summer tour. It was Chinese food day in, day out, obviously. Why would the tour feed us American food if we're in China?!
After two weeks, napurga na ako. My cousins and I made a vow to never eat Chinese food ever again, this would be the first time I've eaten in a Chinese restaurant since then.
Not bad, but not good either.
And I guess living in a pseudo-Chinese community doesn't help either.
Have I mentioned I studied Mandarin for 13 years before going to college? And I'm telling you nothing good came out of memorizing Chinese stories. We only had 4 years of conversational Mandarin, which led to nowhere.
I'm thinking of taking up Mandarin again, to brush up.
They say China should have been the dominating country (or race, for that matter) because of the exploits some chinky-eyed general made years before the Europeans started exploring the oceans. I believe the guy who told us this story. What with a third of the world's population, isn't it logical to think that they'll probably take over the world in this century, by their sheer size.
I've deviated from the real point of this whole blog, which should have been about food.
Honestly, I wanted to talk about Philippine politics. But that would bore you readers even more.
I'm boring even myself as I write this.
Let's just edit when I find the inspiration to write. Haha. When? I don't know.

Politics is entertaining. Inspiration is a rare commodity. It is hard to though to be inspired with the current political condition. On celebrating Chinese New Year, I guess it is normal for non-Chinese to celebrate. After all, there are practices commonly seen these days that are taken from our Asian neighbors.
I want to ask what inspires you... Different people have varying inspirations right? Or maybe I was just preoccupied with the idea that I am inspired by various circumstances.
Anyway, I can sense that I have provided a senseless comment. We can argue about politics... And anything under the sun.. But politics is preferable. It makes sense to draw satires out of clowns.
Personally I like Big Buddha, and eating Chinese food is no fun at all if it doesn't include noodles. I also like Cafe Mediterranean, Piadina, and Circles (lamon!). Turtle pie rules!
