Malunggay Whole Wheat Pandesal

Posted on by

Every now and then, I’d like to experiment; try out some new product. When I saw Pan-A-Cup’s Malunggay Whole Wheat Pandesal, I was instantly intrigued with how it would taste. And I’m glad I was curious enough to buy it. It’s got a curious taste to it, probably owing to the malunggay bits. Yet the malunggay taste fused with the whole wheat verging-on-sweet dough creating a delectable tasting pandesal.

It’s perfect as it is even when eaten as is. But it’s good to match with SPAM as well for breakfast. And if in case you need to heat up the pandesal and you don’t have a microwave oven at home, you can heat it up on a pan brushed with olive oil. I did it. It was just uber yummy that I had to buy another pack the following day. haha.

Nutritional Information of powdered dried malunggay (moringa) leaves as seen on Pan-A-Cup’s packaging:

  • 10 times the Vitamin A of carrots
  • 1/2 the Vitamin C of oranges
  • 17 times the Calcium of milk
  • 15 times the Potassium of banana
  • 25 times the Iron of spinach

dreaming of my gown

Posted on by

If all goes as planned, my gown fitting’s supposed to be within the next couple of weeks. I must have been real apprehensive about my gown already in that I dreamt about it last night.

In that dream, my couturier, Richie Ortega Torres came up to me and told me that my gown will have to have a foam on the torso part. I clarified if she meant the boobs part. But she reiterated that no, it’s all of the torso part. I chose the gown A design wherein the creeping lace applique will be the one holding the back of the gown so, as Richie explained, the foam is required to hold the gown up. And then she showed me the dress where she incorporated our wedding colors even when it shouldn’t have any colors in it. Worse was that the shades were all off and ugly. The dream ended with us looking for swatches bearing the right shade of our wedding colors.

In retrospect, I think it was more of a nightmare than a dream. brrrr.

30 days!

bridal shoes inspiration

Hubbie and I looked for bridal shoes a couple of weeks back. After browsing the web for some time, we finally zeroed in on one style – Paris Hilton’s Belina. Totally fell for it.

But I got frantic this afternoon when I revisited the site and the site wasn’t working anymore!! Good thing I found a site or two which featured Paris Hilton’s bridal shoes launch which showed pictures of some shoes albeit it doesn’t show the color I wanted. =(

Lessons learned: get a screen-capture of your wedding detail inspirations!! I did  just now. =)

I’m keeping the metallic-pewter and change the ivory parts to orange to have our color motif. Ah, excited! Can’t wait to show this to Richie and have Solea craft it. ^_^
