Presenting: The Mall of Asia

I just recently accompanied a few friends to the Mall of Asia I keep hearing so much about. I think it's supposed to be the 2nd largest Mall in Asia. It just opened a few weeks earlier and it was still in a "soft opening" period with almost a 3rd of the shops already open. "Sprawling" is the first word that popped in my head when it first came into view. The place is huge! The fact that it was the only large structure in the reclaimed area by the bay also added to the effect. The mall even provided free tram rides around the comp…

Making the most out of family and friends

The pork adobo filling also tasted good! :D This batch was a lot better than the last one. The…

Poopoo Bread

Poopoo Bread Originally uploaded by Jepster . I decided to bake some bread a few weeks ago. I thought it would be cool to make interesting shapes with the dough. Here's my favorite creation.
