Comments on: Nighthawks at the Carinderia http://jessicarulestheuniverse.com/2007/08/24/nighthawks-at-the-carinderia/ Twisted by Jessica Zafra - Pumping irony since 1994 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:43:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: ninacarrera http://jessicarulestheuniverse.com/2007/08/24/nighthawks-at-the-carinderia/#comment-25788 ninacarrera Fri, 05 Oct 2007 11:48:13 +0000 http://jessicarulestheuniverse.com/2007/08/24/nighthawks-at-the-carinderia/#comment-25788 Hahaha. I have succeeded in locating the carinderia. My success however is tainted as another diner pinched my derriere when I went to sample the eats there. With this incident firmly ensconced in my memory, I have come to the conclusion that I value my life and despite the lure of the delicious and substantial eats, I resolve never to darken the sidewalk that the Brgy. Pio Del Pilar carinderia calls home. I have my own tantalizing gastronomic experience to share. People who hail from Marikina know what I speak of. If you happen to find yourself in the shoe capital, it would be a grave sin not to sample the pancit there. Specifically in a certain panciteria near Daang Pasig, the name of which I must withhold for fear of anyone hogging said establishment any further. Said panciteria, obviously sells an array of pancit. But with a lovely twist, you have the option to order your special pancit with a generous mix of lechon. The lomi con lechon is creamy and inviting. The fragrant aroma of the bihon con lechon is so potent that you can become fertile just by looking at it. Their special torta concoction can provide you not only with nutrition but the will, perchance, to battle the ills of this world. The mere sight of their ampalaya con carne can render unshielded eyes blind. The cook is also the owner. He is a moustached fellow and he sports a semi-kalbo hairdo. I can only describe him further as a pure gastronomic genius. I invite you to journey to my pancit mecca. If you can find it, that is. Hahaha. I have succeeded in locating the carinderia. My success

I'm so glad I bumped into your blog. I have always read you in Today newspaper back when I was in college and some after that. I remember getting my copies only when you or Teddy Locsin, Jr. would be on. I had belly aches for some reason back then when you wrote about Liam Neeson and Russell Crowe. Anyway, before I type in more useless information here, I just want to say that this is wonderful! I loved reading you and happy to be reading you again. All the best! Sincerely, Karina Hi Jessica!
