porkchop pulutan

I spend too much time roaming around the supermarket looking for spices and new food prospects. As a result, our kitchen cabinet is full of spices rarely used. I can never remember how I started with this freakishly uncommon personal characteristic. It had developed to some kind of reflex that just happens when i step inside a supermarket eventually enjoying it. I enjoy reading the labels, understanding each of the items, realizing how I can use it for my next pulutan. From the different available local available items; from Spanish Paprika to Chicken and Pork chop Breadings to some kind of chinese sesame oil. I am quite sure that there a lot of us Filipinos who also enjoy buying these products because there is an increasing variety of spices and are becoming more so popular today.
Hot Sauce is one of the best and most practical spice for me because you can use it to almost all the food you can think of. There are a lot of Hot Sauce that exist in the market today with each there own distinct and unique taste. I recently realized that i have like six kinds already in the shelf. I remember, every time in the supermarket, my mind was figuring out which one is the hottest, which one would taste best on each certain dish, which one is the most practically priced, whats the its liquid consistency, and more on I think unrelated to the matter and more far fetched. I recently bought Mama Sitas Pure Labuyo sauce, uping my collection to 7. I was instantly taken by its intricate packaging and the marketable words on the box. We’ve come a long way from producing export quality products, I felt proud. Now I'm buying because of national pride.
