SM malls are fantastic a bit of trivia SM stands of shoe mart. If you get a chance eat some krispy pata, its like a ham hock that takes hours to prepare.

Tips always welcome.

One thing that is really big in that part of the world is RC cola, a couple pesos cheaper than a coke or pepsi. All bottles of pop are good there because they are sweetened with pure cane sugar vice corn sweetener. ...

Too funny that RC Cola is a big thing over there. RC Cola is an old time Southern favorite along with peanuts and Moon Pies.

As a kid, the school took us on a field trip to a soda plant in Atlanta GA. It was not a Coke plant but another brand, I want to say Fanta but that does not seem right. Maybe Nehi. We got "fruit" flavored sodas to drink. I remember the owner of the company was a big game hunter and we saw lots of his trophies. Maybe it was an RC Cola plant but I remembered the colored, "fruit" sodas we got.

Sometimes Mexican Coke Cola is sold in grocery stores. It has cane sugar and not corn syrup. Or at least used too.

I remember a few years ago tony borndian did a eposode on OFW's that was good, I'm very familiar with ofw, most of my family there are working in Eroupe or the middle east. I sent some to china a few years ago to work in the new gaming industry and they did not like it, much too cold.

One thing that's been popular to order at Mexican restaurants around here is "Mexican Coca Cola", for the same reason, it's sweetened with cane sugar instead of corn syrup. I don't know if it really is better, the power of suggestion can be strong, but my brain seems to tell me it is.
