Tteokbokki (떡볶이)
Tteokbokki (떡볶이) is a popular Korean street food. There are actually many variants of this dish but the most popular is the modern one which is rice cake, meat, boiled egg, vegetables with gochujang, a hot paste made from chili peppers.
I’m not really a spicy food eater but I’ve learned when I went to Thailand. And now it’s like deva ju since I’m liking anything Korean. It looks yummy, doesn’t it? It is!!! Love it! I haven’t tried a lot of tteokbokki yet, just two. On eis from a Korean restaurant in Robinson’s Galleria and another is from a Korean restaurant along Kalayaan Avenue in Quezon City. I like the one from Galleria.
Of course, I wanna try making this on my own. I think I might ask my Korean language teacher if she knows any good Korean dish recipes.

How’s this for a combination? Sugar-free truffle cake on a rainy day. Sound good huh? Well, last Friday (July 23) my niece and I were stuck at the restaurant in front of their school. It was raining hard and we had to wait for my nephew for 1 1/2 hours. We weren’t really hungry so we just ordered cake. There were a few to choose from but my niece choose the truffle cake. I’d say good choice… I love truffle!!!
Sorry for the crappy photos… it was taken indoors with my mobile camera.

Whatever the weather is… sunny or rainy, hot or cold… I’d love one of these…
McDonald's Green Apple Float & Apple Pie
Yum-O! I’m so craving for these right now… especially for the apple pie. Hmmm… I might ask my sister we drop by McDonald’s later after the kids’ doctor checkup. Haha!

Here’s a photo entry of one of my favorite snacks… Takoyaki balls. Takoyaki literally means fried or baked octopus. It is a popular Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, ponzu, mayonnaise, green laver (aonori), and katsuobushi (fish shavings). My favorite here in the Philippines is the one from Karate Kid Japanese Fastfood. They add real octopus bits and the fish shavings is different from the others.

Yummy!!! I want one now!!!
I want to try making it but I don’t have the takoyaki pan. Maybe I should make an omelet type. Does anyone have a good recipe? Care to share?

Last night (March 29), Deb and I went jogging, for the second time, at the Marikina Sports Park. We met around 6 pm, had dinner first then went jogging around 9 pm. I’m used to jogging at night but only at our next-door village. It’s actually fun at the Marikina Sports Park because there were stills lots of people even if it was already late. And I love jogging at night because the air is cool and it is a lot quieter… more peaceful. Here’s Deb and me ready to go jogging…
Just our shoes… haha! I didn’t run too much, just walked. I still felt tired because I was on my feet almost the whole the day before. But I did about 10 rounds of the oval… about 2 rounds really jogging. Afterwards, Deb and I grab a coffee so she could rest a little before going home. it was my first to try out KopiRoti and it’s nice and cheap too. I had coffee and peanut butter toast.
Yummy! I love peanut butter!!! 
It was really fun and I was happy to see and talk to Deb again. Can’t wait for our next jogging date!
