McDonald's Coca Cola Can Glasses

It's finally here! McDonald's Coca Cola Can glasses are now selling like hotcakes in all McDonald's stores nationwide. Everybody wants not only one nor two but the entire collection of the newest collectible item from the world's largest fast food chain.

Unlike the previous collections, these Coca Cola Can glasses are made with real glass though the downsides others say are that they are quite thin and hits the bridge of your nose - that’s when you actually use it. Otherwise it proves to be good collectibles from McDonalds and Coca Cola.

When I got wind of this online, I immediately Googled and found out it’s an additional PhP25 to any McDo Extra Value Meal. I immediately thought it would be the Big Mac Meal or a 2-pc Chicken McDo Meal since these are the ones which can be classified as extra value (read more expensive) meals. Good thing it turned out to be just any medium size Value Meal from McDonald’s with the Burger Mcdo Meal (medium) being the cheapest at PhP83.

These Coca Cola Can glasses come in 6 colours – blue, charcoal, pink, purple, green and lime. And for a limited time only - that’s from July 2 to July 15, 2011. So there’s still a week to complete the McDonald’s Coca Cola can glasses collection and troop now to any McDo outlet for dine in and to-go orders and get them now. You can even have them for delivery orders too!

UPDATE At a different branch of McDonalds herein Iloilo City (Marymart Mall) even just for a small size value meal (PhP63), I got these Mcdonald's Coca Cola Can Glasses - the pink and purple ones above.

FINAL UPDATE Yes! I've finally completed my McDonald's Coca Cola Can glass collection! But another good news I got is tha the promo is extended until the end of the month so there's more time to enjoy treats from McDonald's in order to get these Coke can glasses. But if know someone working in McDo you can probably buy from them without the Value meals since they have this privilege. Hmmm, I'm thinking of another set of these collectible glasses ....

Ultimate Ilonggo Favorite: KBL Kadyos, Baboy, Langka

K.B.L. or Kadyos, Baboy, Langka is the ultimate favorite dish of most Ilonggos. It is also one of the most missed native dishes as kadyos and the souring ingredient, batwan , are hard to find when outside of the Ilonggo region. Basically, it is boiled/stewed pork dish owing its "deliciousness" to the combination of the soft and tender pork, the tamed sourness of batwan and the malinamnam na sabaw . One of the "secrets" of the malinamnamn na sabaw , is the fact that the pork, whether just the plain meat or pata (hocks) are first grilled or broiled. This gives the broth a rather smoky taste that makes it more appetizing.. Learn how to make the Ilonggo dish KBL (Kadyos, Baboy, at Langka) with the recipe below.

Easy Century Tuna Recipes

If you're looking for simple, easy and delicious Century Tuna recipes online, congratulations, you've found it right here! How about spicy tuna sisig or tuna sinigang ? Maybe stir fried tuna with pickles or just yang chow fried rice . I love Century Tuna from its flakes in oil variety, the spicier the better, but when I discovered the versatility of its solid variant, it became an obsession.

I just add a few drops of vinegar to spice it up a bit. Then came the experiments. Yup I got tired of that habit that one day, I decided to test my skills in the kitchen. Serendipity, you might call it yet most of them turned into good recipes that I have shared now and then. Satisfying my Palabok cravings had me experiment on this recipe on the spot. With Century Tuna in lieu of the us...

Lauya nga Pata sang Baboy

It was a typical fiesta scene in a barrio that I got to taste this cholesteroliffic and delicious pork dish.

And it's been really a while since I've tried to recreate that taste memory and a few days ago, it was worth another try. Here's my simple recipe for Pata Lauya
