Crispy Pata Overload

It has been two years since I've tasted the succulent Crispy Pata of Alejandro's. So when my barkada decided to join the Trivia Night this Wednesday, I couldn't help but get excited --- for the pata.

I didn't know they transferred already. As I've said, it has been two years. After being lost, we finally ordered this dish. And it never fails. Up to now.

It does justice to the word 'crispy' unlike other presumptuous patas in town. But when you put it in your mouth, the meat is so tender. The soy sauce, which I believe is laced with sugar, is a perfect complement. Yum!

Tale of the Moled Sole

Old people tell us that having moles in specific parts of the body have certain meanings. If you have a mole at the back of your hand it means that you will be earning lots of money. Moles on the upper area of the lips suggest a person with a very strong attitude and a very goal-driven person.

I have a mole hidden from plain sight. It's down there and can only be seen if I don't wear anything on it. No, not that! Much lower. I have a mole on the sole of my left foot and it's visible only when I don't wear a slipper. :) So there you have it, I have a moled sole. My lola told me having this mole indicates that I have the strong desire to travel, to grab opportunities for adventure, and to seek escapades. In short, "laagan".  And true enough, I was, I am, and will continue to succumb to the call of wanderlust.

The last statement calls to mind the age-old mystery of which came first, the chicken or the egg. In my case, I wonder if I am fond of travelling because I have a mole OR do I have a mole because I am fond of travelling. The answer: I don't know. All I know for sure is that I enjoy travelling to near and distant destinations. I drool at the thought of trying new dining spots whether it's a carenderia or a restaurant. And I get stirred up when I hear of upcoming exciting events.

This blog is both a collection and celebration of the joys of ADVENTURE. Here, I will share with you must-go-to travel destinations, plates and bowls of gustatory delights, as well as let you know what's the buzz in town.

Cheers to adventure! Cheers to my moled sole! :)
