Aside from Japanese food, one other cuisine that I'm pretty much obsessed with is Korean food! I mean who's not obsessed with Samgyeupsal? It's on the verge of replacing Adobo as our national dish, loljk. But seriously, Korean food is soooo good! Their instant noodles are also to die for! While not necessarily healthy, I indulge in it once in a while. Which is why when you look at my Youtube recommendations, I mostly have Korean mukbangs of spicy noodles or Jjajangmyeon or sushi!

Aside from my Korean mukbangs, I also get bouts of Korean recipes here and there. This is how I discovered the recipe I'll be sharing today. Last year I tried a Japanese recipe for soy-marinated yolk so when I saw what Mayak eggs are all about, I was immediately all over it. The recipe looked pretty simple and required little effort and you know I'm all about that lol. Let's begin!

EVERYBODY LOVES ISAW. There, I said it, fight me lol. But no seriously, Isaw is the best. I remember being exposed to it as early as 7yo since I grew up in a palengke. And my dad loooooved streetfood. From fishball to barbeque to betamax--we had it all because of him! Of course my mom would only let us have hotdogs but my dad would secretly give us isaw, fishball and whatever he's having when my mom wasn't looking. My mom was right to be worried because I had amoebiasis when I was younger so streetfood was a no-no because my tummy would always feel uneasy after eating quite a handful. But as a proof of cleanliness, I don't feel that uneasiness when I eat at Mang Larry's which is why this is my go-to place for streetfood!

Anywaaaay, for today's blog, I'm sharing a few of my favorites from Mang Larry's! During our visit they recently just transferred to a new location which is in front of the Fine Arts building. It's more spacious and there are also more chairs and tables around. Won't be putting in a lot of text in this post and I'll let you guys see for yourselves what I had when I visited!

Before you even wonder what the hell is Tuslob Buwa, don't cringe. It's just like any other street food you'd usually have like Kwek-Kwek or Isaw, it's just that this one is made of Pork brains. Pretty similar, yeah? Tuslob Buwa is a street food native to Cebu a street where diners dip puso (wrapped rice) in a simmering mixture of fat, pork liver, pig brain and intestines. So see, it's not all pork brains. I'd rather it be called brain gravy because it's closer to what it looks and tastes like! I won't say much on this blog but I've attached a vlog so I can be more graphic about it! Haha And yes, you have to do the cooking yourself! Just look at how much fun I've had. Enjoy!

I remember being extremely disappointed when I first tried the famous Bone Marrow Pares. The place where I tried it at was the place everyone was raving about--Shorthorn Pares. I've lost faith since then and would almost always just scroll past anything that involved Pares or bone marrow in a sentence. I was thinking, could bone marrow actually be that tasteless if you were to just torch it and pair it with Pares? I was utterly disappointed. You know how I love bone marrow when it comes to Bulalo so I had really high hopes for this. 

Fast forward to about three weeks ago, a friend kept raving about this bone marrow place saying it would make me forget all the heartbreak (lol) I experienced with Shorthorn. The only thing is that, its's in Bulacan. But you know me, I wouldn't mind going the distance but I do mind a queue lol. Is that weird? Anyway, let's begin.

I'm no expert when it comes to makeup but I love makeup! I won't bore you with how I got into it because I've several videos on it but it was only a couple of years ago when I was introduced to the wonderful world of makeup and I've been learning the ropes since then. And thankfully, the universe has been conspiring lately because just last year, I became one of Althea's brand ambassadors which is why I get privy to some of their new products may it be skin care and as of late, makeup!

A few months ago, Althea Korea released their first ever makeup products. I mean they're pretty much my go-to place when it comes to Korean Skincare because everything is just way cheaper, but let's see if I will also be a patron when it comes to their makeup products. The newest box they sent me had a bunch of watercolor cream tints, cream concealers, eye glitters and eye shadow, And y'all know ya girl, I don't put eye shadow on! But for this instance, I tried. 

Since I'm not an eyeshadow type of gal, I decided to challenge myself and do a date night makeup look using the Althea x BCL Sunrise Moonrise Palette. I'm an extreme beginner so we'll see how this products fares with amateurs like me. I also try to do a first impressions review of the products mentioned above. If you like this video, don't forget to subscribe! Oh, and I'm also giving away Althea Korea makeup so check the mechanics in this video. Have an awesome weekend, loves!
