Filipino Vegetable Lumpia: A Crispy and Healthy Delight
มุมมอง 432 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
When I first came to the Philippines, one of the very first dishes I tried was lumpia. I didn’t know it then, but this simple, crispy, and flavor-packed roll would become one of my all-time favorites. There’s something magical about its versatility-whether it's packed with meat, seafood, or just veggies, lumpia always hits the spot. Today, I’m keeping it light and fresh with vegetable lumpia! I...

Exploring an Amazing Underwater World Full of Life, Snorkeling Adventure

What an amazing day snorkeling! The underwater world truly came alive as we explored the vibrant reef, teeming with incredible marine life.

If there’s one dish that embodies the festive spirit of Filipino celebrations, it’s lechon baboy! Whether it’s a birthday, wedding, fiesta, or Christmas gathering, this perfectly roasted whole pig takes center stage. The sight of its crispy, golden-brown skin, the aroma wafting through the air, and the tender, flavorful meat make it irresistible. Lechon isn’t just food-it’s an experience. It’s ...

🐡💦 Ever had an underwater guide with serious attitude? Meet Mr. Grumpy, a white-spotted pufferfish (Arothron hispidus) who decided to give me an exclusive tour of his patch of the ocean! With his perpetually annoyed expression, he hovered around like a moody guardian, ensuring I didn’t mess with “his” kingdom. Each time I swam closer to his turf, he’d pause, turn, and give me a long, judgmental...

    Jeepney, trike and air-condition buses so no need to drive it's too stressful no place to park and a pain dealing with the LTO. Vehicle upkeep maintenance costs if you're retired it's not worth it.

    • @WonderfulPhilippines23
      @WonderfulPhilippines23 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Parking is an issue for sure but for me, we travel a lot and it's nice to be able to drive. It all depends on what you want to do. I like to take long trips and stop at lots of places along the way. Plus I must get back and forth from the farm to the city whenever I want. Most forgivers I know here have at least a motorcycle but a lot have trucks also. Also depends on where you live. Everyone is different some want to drive other do not. Regarding the LTO 10 years of driving here, I have never had one issue with them. In fact, they have always been more than helpful. :)

      @@WonderfulPhilippines23 I live in Laguna on Luzon, many fellow Expats have been killed on the motorcycle and an Expat in Calamba Laguna got into an accident not his fault and the other driver called I guess a family member cop, this Permanent Resident Expat (with wife and kids) ended up sitting in a jail for 3 years awaiting trial where he showed the webcam video and was exonerated the police officer got a letter of reprimand. I really don't have a need where we live because the AC buses are just minutes away and so one less expense to deal with, if I do need a day out I can rent a van it's got to be cheaper I just can't see the logic or need to waste so much money in my retirement and this is the reason I try to tell Expats not get stuck on the islands like Dumaguete or similar because you'll need to buy a vehicle.

    It is the Madroño Ancestral house. It just so happened that one of the Madroño female descendants got married to a Vega and her immediate family made it a residence and also acted as the care taker of the said house for the other Madroño heirs. She then carried the surname Madroño-Vega. Since then it was identified as the Vega house but it is really the Madroño Ancestral House.
