More pictures from the MarketManila Eyeball in Cebu

These are additional pics I've taken in between kitchen duties and sneaking a quick look at the group during the MarketManila Lechon Eyeball in Cebu City on 15 November 2008. Some were already posted here.

The remains of the day...

Can't Sleep Waiting for Marketman

In a few hours, I will be attending one of the most expected eyeballs in my blogging history and meet The Man himself- Marketman. And of course, lotsa lechon on the menu!

I am the number 30 guest later.

"Boholanos" ala Marketman

Cebuanos often make fun of Boholanos. My dad was a Cebuano, but no, aha!, he was born in Bohol! But my mom, who he chided endlessly for being Boholana, was in fact, born in Cebu, and a descendant of a large clan with lots of family in Leyte. But her family was a fairly well-known one from the proud little island of Bohol, the home to one of the Republic's elected Presidents...not many provinces can claim that, after all, though Cebu can as well. At any rate, the gentle "rivalry" between the islands is an amusing one... So while Cebu might have the best dried mangoes, silvanas and what not, I have to say that Bohol has absolutely the finest broas I have ever eaten, period. And here, with a quick modification, I am inventing a cookie that would make my maternal ancestors proud... meet the "Boholano" - two Osang's broas with a filling of rich chocolate cream. Superb.

I am a true-blue Boholano so I am almost always looking for good stories about Bohol. This is one of them. If you are into food, good food to be exact, visit Marketman's website and you will be amazed by his recipes, writeups and photography.
