Philippine spaghetti is....

Let me share the experience when I had spaghetti in Philippines.


I had spaghetti in Philippines at Jollibee.  Jollibee is one of the most famous fast food chain here in Philippines.  You can find it anywhere.  Their signature dish is the fried chicken.  I've heard that it's very tasty so I wanted to try and I went there for the first time.

I've ordered chicken and the cashier lady asked me if I wanted rice or spaghetti so I ordered spaghetti to go and went back to the hotel room.

I sat down and started to eat chicken and then spaghetti....omg...it was sweet!!  I mean it's sweet as in sugar sweet!  I was soooooo shocked!  because my tongue was expecting to taste tomato sour and tasty source but it was like dessert sweet source....

Then I found out the spaghetti here in Philippines can be very sweet.

Even in supermarket,  they sale "Philippines style" spaghetti source.

Now I've learned....here in Philippine,  you need to ask if the spaghetti is sweet or not lol

However I should mention that if you go to supermarket here in Manila,  the choice of pasta you can buy is so many!

This is the picture of pasta area in the supermarket and it's this section is ALL pasta!

So I think a lot of people in Philippines loves pasta🍝

It was a true cultural difference experience indeed. 

It's not that they don't have Italian style spaghetti source but there are choice of "Philippines style" and you just need to make sure and order what you want. 

So be aware,  there are "Philippines style" spaghetti source! 😁

Beer lover

I am a beer lover...

You might not think Japanese woman can't drink but it's not true...at least my best friend can have more than usual Japanese guy👯
Me?...well I remember other friend told me I drink beer like fish...no idea what's that mean...I will let you decide...

So I am in the heaven here in Philippines...why?....because beer is so cheap compare to Japan!

For example,  San Miguel is the Philippines's well known beer and it's usually only around 38 peso per bottle!  (It's less than $1)

It's less than half of what I pay in Japan or anywhere in the world.

And I like the taste too.
I used to fly around the world as a cabin crew so it automatically mean that I have tasted beer from those country and I still think it's a good beer👏

Also even the Japanese beer like Asahi or Kirin are cheaper here in Philippines.  I guess it's been brew out side of Japan but still Asahi is Asahi and Kirin is Kirin.
(I have to admit I love Japanese company...lol)

So I got Asahi today and was taking picture to share it on this page....I found out,  they put Tapioca syrup in beer....wow!  I never knew!

You can buy Asahi and Kirin everywhere here in Manila.  Even in Familymart.(Convenience store from Japan)

By the way,  there are countless Familymart here in Manila....I will write about it soon!

Starting the first day

Starting the first day


I'm 100 % Japanese grew up in Japan.  I used to be cabin crew and used to fly around the world.

I came here in Manila/Philippines because I got engaged to a guy who is starting his business here.

Well..having mother who worked till her 60 years old Birthday in Japan,  I couldn't think of staying at home so I got a job in Manila.

Another reason we decided to come here was it's easy to hire nanny in Philippines even if I want to continue to work.  And it's not because it sounds luxury but it's something different from Japan.

In Japan,  it's very hard for woman now a days....a lot of them are willing or needing to work after giving birth to a child but it's so hard to find kindergarten to take care of the baby while working so some of them have no choice but to quit work and stay home.

Even if you can find kindergarten for your baby,  you will need to pick your baby up till 6:30 PM or 7 PM when you have to stay at work till 6 PM and you usually work far from home as the rent in big city where most job are is very high so you live out side the city....

I really respect working mother in Japan.  They are true "super woman".  I hope this will change in soon future.....

Anyway there is also another reason we came here in Philippines.  It's to give our future baby/babies to be raised in the English speaking environment.

Philippines is one of the most nearest English speaking country to Japan so it's easy for us to go back to Japan as well.

I guess I should be able to teach my kids (hopefully coming soon) English but still it's hard if all of their friends is non-English speaker.

Well,  let's see how it turns out...... 😊
