Late post.

Now that my cravings are on hype, I try to satisfy myself with as little expense as possible. For this specific day I woke up thinking of pizza rolls. I remember my good friend, Foxy, bringing this snack for potluck on one of our gatherings. So I searched for the recipe and voila! 

I asked my mom to buy me the ingredients, however making it was very tiresome (maybe just for me). As a newbie, I took time cutting the ingredients and preparing the dish. I had to ask for my mom's help to finish rolling the breads. 

Traditionally, you deep fry the pizza roll. I tried cooking it using a Turbo but the bread crumbs tasted raw. It did became crunchy, though. I guess same thing goes when you cook it in the oven.  I don't know, maybe there's an ingredient missing for it to be cooked non-deep-fried way. 

So, we settled with the old-fashioned style of cooking it - deep frying. It turned out good, in fact, great! I guess the secret for this recipe is the oil. My family liked it. My sister even brought it for baon the next day. There will definitely be a part 2 of this recipe. :)

This is where i got the recipe.

Next time, I will try to saute the tomato sauce with onion, garlic, bell pepper and whatever I can think of for it to be more tasty. What I made was a bit bland because I used a pre-packed tomato sauce.

Wanna be chef,

Sundays are one of my favorite days. I grew up looking forward to Sundays because it's a day of contemplating on how my week went through prayers in mass. Also, it's family day so it's a day of catching up with my sisters and mom. It's just a feel-good day to everyone in my family.

Last Sunday the priest in Padre Pio talked about how good it is to see God as your father. Literally, your own dad. He emphasized that if you want something really bad and you don't get it, it means God has dreamed of  something better for you, just like how your dad pictured your future to be. He also said that if you pray to God make it sure that you do your part. You can't ask Him for good grades at school and end up not preparing for your exams. You have to show Him that you deserve every bit of whatever it is you prayed for. 

Amen to that homily! Padre Pio priests never fail to give the best messages. :)

For lunch, we decided to take our cousin to Banapple. This is one of our favorite restaurants since the serving is worth its price. A meal is good for two, at least for our family. I once had my own meal and didn't finish it. 

Everyone was full and sleepy after our heavy meal. Good thing it was raining and cold, perfect time to lie on bed and sleep. I feel blessed to have my family to spend my Sundays with. :)

Have a great week ahead!

I'm so glad I got to see Macau even for just half a day. It would be so much better though if my friends and I were able to explore more of this beautiful place. Here are some photos of our quick trip.

Last March, my friends and I went to a quick Hong Kong - Macau getaway. It was the first out-of-the-country trip my barkada had, and we didn't even expect that it would really happen since majority of our plans were just plans. Haha. It was nice that we had our trip days before my birthday so it was like a grand birthday celebration for me. 

After a long day of having fun, my friends gathered all our strengths and dressed up to party at Lan Kwai Fong. It's a place for drinking, partying and dancing. We hopped from one club to the other, and we met nice Filipino workers as well. 

Of course, we didn't miss the chance of going to the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the parade since we came a bit late. 

During our last day, Anna and I met up with an old friend whom we met back in Australia. She was an exchange student in the same university I go to. Now that she's back in Hong Kong and us the same, we grabbed the chance to catch up with her. She took us to a tea place where we had iced fresh teas and toast. She also bought us the most delicious egg sandwich I've ever had from an authentic restaurant famous for making egg recipes. Lastly, she took us to a grocery store where we shopped for pasalubongs.
