Polanica Zdrój

Hello there everyone!


It's a sunny day in the land of Poles once again. And so we decided to go out and have a  fruitful walk at the park. 


This place is another suburb just a 30-min ride by car from our place. 


We wandered around their busy highway and obviously I couldn't resist taking some photos of some interesting sights that could give an idea to my readers on where to travel next. 


Here are some photos I took:

How did you like my photos? Not much though, rest assured this place is really fantastic!

Springy Saturday

      

       It is a Great Saturday in the land of Poles. Sunny weather to start with. Happy folks playing around with their gleaming smiles. My Husband and me decided to walk around the gardens owned by people who reside in flats or apartments rather than in houses. Spring definitely amuses me. With all the white covers from winter, this time, we are finally seeing some colors. I love flowers, not only because they bloom beautifully but because they make the earth colorful.

Here are some pictures I took today.

Although these are not considered flowers, but they do create a beautiful scenery away from a mundane green grass.

These cherried-color flowers are stunning!

OoOps, they are not tulips, they are POPPIES!

These flowers are just gorgeous, they did take my breath away! 

How about you? How did you spend your Saturday?

10 Dishes I miss in the Philippines

I certainly am enjoying my married life. I didn't find it difficult to adjust since I am born independent and I am with my ever loving and responsible husband. But in some point of my life, I crave for some distinct Filipino dishes which leave a sweet taste on my palate.

Here is my version of the 10 FOODS I MISS IN THE PHILIPPINES

1. Macaroni Fruit Salad

Birthday celebrations, Wedding ceremonies, or any family gatherings, Macaroni Fruit Salad ( Buko salad too) is never absent. Unlike here, ( I don't know for others) they find the taste weird to mix pasta with fruits. I really miss this, and I can't even buy fresh fruits rather buy them from tins.

2. Sinigang na Bangus & Pork Sinigang

Yumyum! Smells good, tastes even better.! 

Sour for some, but absolutely this soup is one of my favorite dishes. Unfortunately I can't cook these dishes here, because I couldn't find best tamarind 

powder for this yet. 

3. Pochero

Oh yes! perfect for Sunday lunch, when all members of the family are at home. Best served with Coke and rice.

4. Manggang Hilaw with Bagoong ( Green Mango with Shrimp paste)

Don't get me wrong, I am not pregnant. However whenever I see my friends post their pictures of mango, I am literally salivating. And yes! this is one of my favorite appetizer! I like this Carabao green mango best paired with sauted Bagoong.! Oh gawd!

5. Adobong Pork, Chicken & Chicken liver ( atay ng manok)

I just love them! Beyond any words.. with rice

6. Sisig 

7. Barbecue

Whether this barbecue is served as an appetizer, or for meal, I definitely miss this Filipino barbecue for its distinct taste. I love them with Mang Tomas or with spicy soy sauce. 

I usually eat this with my  bare hands ( kinamay)

8. Cornedbeef

For breakfast, lunch, or even dinner.  

9. Mango Float 

Very easy to make yet time consuming. When served, it will only last at about 5 minutes. (If you know what I mean) This mouth watering dessert is just awesome.

10. Pork Tocino

I don't care about the fats, cholesterol. I want to enjoy eating each day with the foods I love. 

I hope you enjoyed my version. How about yours? Let me know, and let us share our own stories. :)

Wonders of Wroclaw

We had a date! My husband promised a dinner date at Kuchnia Marche, which is almost 2 hour drive from our city. I was excited, who wouldn't be? specially if this restaurant has Asian dishes. 

When we arrived, I was trying to observe the dishes and thinking of what to take. This restaurant is not the usual buffet , although the dishes were arranged in such similar manner. They give you a small sheet, this, you will give to the cook, to put a stamp on it once you have decided what food to take. 

NomNom! Thank you LORD! I am so full! :D

After that, to digest what we ate, we were walking around the center. My husband told me about Wroclaw is known for its Hundred bridges and lamps, pretty cool city indeed. 

We came across this blue bridge, attached are hundreds, thousands of padlock! It wasn't my first time to see such scene. However, funny to realize, are these couples who promised to love each other still together ? Or are these groups of padlocks, I presume are groups of bestfriends. Are they still BFFFL? ( Best Friends Forever For life?) Well, those are just some things I need to ponder on. 

Chose this photo. It's clearer compared to other padlocks.

*Times like this I cherish, not because we wined and dined, not because we watched Micheal Jackson, The Musical after, but because it's a break from my sedentary work and I've got a chance to be with my man.*
