Pancit

 VAN HOUTTE is my favourite coffee although husband usually buys what is affordable at the supermarket. For now, we have Tim Horton's brand coffee. I don't like the taste of TH's. How and why coffee beans tasted differently from one bean to another? You know why?

It's how the beans are grounded and roasted. Or the harvesting of the beans from its orchard. The farmers probably are harvesting "too raw -  beans not ripe" or not ready for picking and the taste of such beans could be very bitter. 

I don't know about you but I'm a coffee drinker from as far as I can remember way back then Grade Six (Elementary), my bad! I learned to drink coffee from my father who likes coffee every morning while watching news on TV and or reading newspaper early morning. My kind of coffee was blended or mixed with milk (powder). I used to dip the hot pandesal (with dairy-cream butter) on my coffee-milk and it tasted better. The bakery in our village (barangay) is just walking distance from our home, actually on the third house from our home, so everyday every morning our pandesal and our pastry is fresh and hot most of the time.

The bakery here in Canada is walking distance too, in another block maybe it will take 10 minutes to get there. I'm too lazy to walk. Since I came here to Canada, walking seems a boring, lazy and goofy way to do and that maybe the reason why too many people here have disability with their legs. Hmm, not really the correct way to say it. You'll find that out when you come here and experience it yourself.


I'm craving for pancit. Maybe I should cook pancit today. Why pancit all the time even if there's no birthday celebrant? Maybe I'm part Chinese! Ha ha ha!

Know why? Pancit is my favourite food. lol

 Usually cook pancit with different ingredients:

Pancit with snow peas an squeeze of calamansi juice

Pancit with sotanghon
Pancit with bokchoy instead of sliced cabbage
Pancit with spaghettini noodles and broccoli


Pancit farkay


Pancit with bell peppers
