A few of my favorite things

[tristantrakand]

Prompted by the destruction of yukitsu's fragile childhood memories, I thought of listing down some of the tasty treats I used to spend my money on when I was just a wee little fagling.

Awwwwww, that's so cute. My favorite childhood food is that Selecta ice cream bar, the proper name of which I forgot, sold for eight pesos at the sari-sari store.

I don't like Snickers though. I don't like nuts in my chocolate bar. But I love Three Musketeers and Milky Way.

I usually don't like nuts in my chocolate bars either, but Snickers bars remain the one shining exception. :D

Oh Ron wai so cute? D:

I never liked lugaw, or goto, or arroz caldo but the people in my house love those terribly. I love suman, though. In Iloilo we have our own cone-shaped variation of it with latik, and mm~ I'm hungry for suman now. The ones like that in your image (what's the white stuff btw? I'm curious XD) and the ones from Antipolo are pure love as well, the latter especially with sweet ripe mangoes. <33333

what's the white stuff btw? I'm curious

Those weren't the kind of suman I enjoyed, they were just the only pictures I could get. XD So I have no idea what the white stuff is either. XD

It looks... suspicious. o_o The suman from our province is that colour but the white stuff. o___o

[tristantrakand]

It looks... suspicious.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, first thought in my head too. XD

[yukitsu]

Aaaaw. X3 So cute!

B| Your suman isn't suman. It's biko!

[tristantrakand]

Unfortunately, young padawan, there is very little confusion to be had when it comes to the matter of suman. My childhood remains intact, while yours has been crushed to a thousand irreparable pieces. MOO HA HA HA HA HA!!!!111

O_O Ron be ebil. And lol for when it comes to MY favourite merienda turon, I only have to worry about whether it's saging or langka. *wants some with ginatan*

[tristantrakand]

But don't they have turon nowadays with both saging and langka?

Nope. It was the only picture of suman that I could find that looked close enough to the ones I used to eat. XD
