As foreigners discovered that every part of chickens is eaten in the Philippines, from the head to feet, gizzards and intestines. here's the grilled chickn feet called Adidas in Philippine street food lingo, a reference to Adidas as the product with three stripes logo.


I should probably publish a list of Street Food in the Philippines soon :P

Was able to buy several coupons for this new attraction inside Manila Ocean Park driven by his curiosity with the 3D art "museum" where you can take wacky pictures with classic art pieces on display. Here's a nice "photo-op" place inside a small room with 3D art works painted by Korean artists.

Seri Fantasy World, Manila Ocean Park

Seri Fantasy World is theme park inside Manila Ocean Park

(photos taken using iPhone 4s, it's quite dark inside for photography, try using a flash as the place has white ceiling where you can bounce flash :)

the entrance of Seri Fantasy World (Seriland) on the left wing of Manila Ocean Park (after the escalator)

the floor of the "3D art museum" is an art by itself. can be appreciated from an angle just after entering the place

In addition to Bohol Kalamay, peanut kisses is one pasalubong traditionally identified with Bohol. There is, however, a "quite" new challenger in town: Peanut Kisses. How would you compare the two?

Classic Bohol Pasalubong/Specialty: Peanut Kisses

Peanut Kisses is advertised as peanut and egg white cookies

The relatively new Pasalubong/Specialty: Star Peanuts
Star Peanuts is tagged as Peanut meringue clusters

in a "nutshell," peanut kisses is shaped like Hershey's Kisses, more crunchier and sweeter than Star Peanuts. Star Peanuts are more like star-shaped meringue, and more chewable.

It really depends on the one buying for it's a really subjective topic.

Solution: Tutubi bought both of them :P


Where to buy pasalubong in Bohol:

Tagbilaran airport, at several Bohol Malls: BQ Mall, Island City Mall,
