Ah dessert. It’s one thing I’m not too keen on—a travesty, friends would insist. I wasn’t born with a sweet tooth and while I eat cakes and pastries as a snack, I almost never eat it to cap off a meal.

But even if I decline dessert a lot, there are still a few sweet treats I never turn down. Still, a fruitful visit to Salcedo Market gave me something to photograph for Lasang Pinoy – Sundays’ Dessert theme. In the form of a delightfully rich, yet plain looking butter cake.

My self-imposed ban on buying new bento boxes was lifted recently for a very special reason. Daiso / Japan Home stocked some adorable Onigiri boxes! These bento boxes have two levels. A flat rectangular one on the bottom and a triangular top that lets you keep your onigiri upright. I’ve been wanting this box design forever so I quickly snagged one up, even if I wasn’t a fan of Winnie the Pooh.

Last night was supposed to be an ordinary supermarket run. I needed a block of cream cheese so we headed off to South Supermarket to grab that and a few pantry essentials. Imagine my shock and excitement when I saw THIS!

Yes, dear south of Manila based readers, we now have a Sango branch so close to home. Sango is sandwiched between Yellow Cab Pizza and North Park at the ground level of South Supermarket in Westgate, Filinvest Corporate City Alabang. Open from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm, they also deliver like their Makati counterpart.

Just a quick reminder for Manila-based readers. The Salcedo Saturday market is celebrating its 4th anniversary tomorrow, June 21, 2008. As part of the festivities, a Kapampangan food fest will showcase the best that Pampanga has to offer with sumptuous regional delicacies. Imagine, all those yummy Kapampangan goodies (wonders if there will be fresh camachile fruits) on top of the regular Saturday market delights! Catch you guys there tomorrow!

Oh, but if you have never been to Salcedo, check this old post out to discover what you’re missing.
