Polvoron by Goldilocks. 300g for £4.99 Whats this stuff all about? It doesn't taste that expensive. My wife bought some today (again). I recall she bought some before but I couldn't work out what all the hype was about.
It prolly reminds her of home. It's made of powdered milk, sugar, pinipig and some other stuff. It's pretty good and I guess when you are far away from home and miss it, you'll pay that much for something that costs less than 50p at home.
I think we spent about £30 on Filipino food products and some Belo soap yesterday. Didnt get a lot for it.
My Mrs, is more frugal when buying filipino stuff. Apart from some pancit, pancit bihon and a few bits and bobs, to use when the barkada or the local filipino mafia gathers at my place, she doesn't bother much at all. She is a bugger in buying chicharron, tho... Even if she has terminal tooth-ache............
Normally we would spend less than half of that £30 in a week. It was just one of those weeks and the Goldilocks Polvoron knocked it up a bit along with the bar of Belo soap. I do not mind too much as it gives her a sense of taste of home. And I don't hound her over it.
