I dislike going to wet markets. For one, I cannot distinguish a fresh seafood from an old one. I remember being given tips to look at the eyes of the fish, to pinching a particular side of a crab. Those tips have remained tips as I do not personally go to buy fresh fish in…
Perla: 50% Coconut Oil 100% Pinoy
I have very early memories of Perla. I remember seeing them in my Ama’s house’s sink. My Ama would have a bar in EVERY sink in her kitchen, beside it was a laundry bar. I often wondered, why did she put Perla bars on the kitchen sink, why were two different kinds of bars? When…
