It SOUNDS like mongo is something I should probably avoid.  Well, for me it might not make a difference anyway.  If it tastes good though, there's the multiplier effect.

Carrisse,

If you're ever in San Diego, you can get some excellent hopia mongo at Valerio's Bakery. They also have the best pande coco this side of the international date line.

Darn you Carrisse! Now I'm getting hungry!

Carrisse,
  Since you went to the trouble to explain to me, I have to fill you in with the lowdown on Moon Pies.   Moon Pie's are a snack food consisting of marshmallow filling sandwiched between two large vanilla cookies then the entire thing dipped in chocolate.   They were invented in Chattanooga TN back in 1917 and have become a tradition in the South - even if we laugh at them, we still eat a lot!  They even have their own website, believe it or not.  www.moonpie.com.   Hard to believe but true!  LOL

  I've had something like you described at my favorite Korean restaurant that was filled with beans and lightly coated with sugar.   I wonder if it was the same thing?

Moon pies sounded like smores--toasted marshmallows sandwiched by graham crackers and a chunk of Hershey bar. Yummy!

Its probably the same thing that you had at the Korean Resto.

Ever heard of Pearl Shakes?

Carrisse,
They are similar to smores if you take away about half the chocolate.   No, Pearl shakes are another new one to me, what are they?

Steve,

Pearl shakes...I could answer that, but I would probably be kicked of the board. ;o)) Sorry, my mind has been in the gutter all day.

What are pearl shakes?  By virtue of this post, it must be an interesting piece of trivia.  If it's that bad, please tell me privately sometime.  Likewise, I wanted to crack a practical question obout the Filipinas Magazine topic in the above post, but I dare not do it.

Local name for this is sago and is mixed with Milk shake. It comes in different fruit flavors.  Very popular drink especially during summer.  These sago stands (shago, Zagu, Lush, Orbitz) are visible in Malls.

Dave H sort of beat me to it...

Though I personally prefer Beer  (India Pale Ales to be specific)  If I had to get some wine to impress a date  I would get a bottle of Gewurztraminer (had to look up the spelling on that one)  for a nice slightly spicy earthy but not too heavy taste (it is a white).  For Edible fare  Sliced peaches, plums, and berried tossed, soaked / marinated in port cant be topped for a refreshing dessert  And you still can get that warm fuzzy feeling from it.   I also like Alize  passion fruit liqueur (cognac ?) for marinating fruit in.

See that 6 week wine course that I took back at school was good for something  besides getting sloshed by the end of each class ha ha ha.

Well Carrisse  at least you drew me out of lurker mode.

Hi Windmill Boy,

How is it going?

Gewurztraminer...hard to spell and pronounce, but it goes down easy. ;o)) My first choice in a white wine. For beer, my preference is Pilsner Urquell, from the Czech Republic. When I was in the Philippines, I had a hard time accepting the fact that Colt 45 was considered a premium imported beer. ;oQ I tried to re-educate a few of the locals that San Miguel, though not "American," is much better and cheaper. I wish I could find San Miguel locally.
