One of the 100+ recipes from Clinton Palanca’s “My Angkong’s Noodles.” Planning to cook this tomorrow. I’m going to be as religious to the recipe as possible because all the recipes here match the Filipino-Chinese palate. Excited.

***RESTOCKED: 3 copies (2 fresh, 1 yellowed sides at a lower price) The Gullet by Clinton Palanca (BRAND NEW, Sealed) . . In the last ten years, the Philippines has undergone nothing short of a culinary revolution. At first as an expatriate living in London, then eventually fully immersed in the scene as a writer and critic, Philippine Daily Inquirer’s resident food reviewer chronicles the remarkable transformation of gastronomic backwater into a giddy, opulent, and at times overwhelming foodie scene. . "Food pays witness to histories, personal and political.

As a collection of essays on food and travel,”The Gullet” explores the role that food plays in our personal relationships and the place it holds in our collective psyche. Speaking literally, going down the gullet is a journey from the mouth to the stomach — from encounter to understanding. Reading the “The Gullet” feels like that journey; every essay takes you deeper into flavors, stories and locales.

***RESTOCKED*** Virtual Nation: Insights into Contemporary Philippines by Sylvia L. Mayuga (BRAND NEW) . . Virtual Nation explores “a new way of being nation that Filipinos at home and all over the world are creating in cyberspace,” as it contends that Filipinos are “still creating the nation our revolutionary forefathers envisioned and died for.” Most of the essays in this book are opinion columns originally written for online publication from 2003 to 2010. In those seven turbulent years major global challenges to peace and survival in the threefold crises of our time—ecological, economic, and spiritual—converged. That they emerged under the troubled Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo presidency coeval with the war-torn, terror-laden George W. Bush years became a double spur to publish this book of “breaking history.” . . . CONDITION: Brand New BINDING: Softbound Out of Print Copyright 2013 First Edition Paperback; 329 pages Size: 6 x 8.8 inches Language: English Genre: Essays The book is in a very good condition.

The Baguio We Know by Grace Celeste C. Subido (Editor) . . Today, with the emergence of new, and concededly more titillating, tourist destinations, many will admit that Baguio has "fallen from grace" from its once lofty position as "Summer Capital of the Philippines." However, perhaps more than anything, this collection of works reveals the Baguio that is so much more than the handmaiden to tourism that some may falsely believe is the answer to this city's ultimate salvation. This collection of works provides a glimpse into that "view from within" of a place forged in consciousness that trandscends boundaries of time and space. . . . CONDITION: Pre-loved.

New and Later Poems by Wilfredo Pascua Sanchez . . After a long absence, the poet Wilfredo Pascua Sanchez has collected a book of poems comprised of new and later work, including the prize poem "Adarna," parts of th Willybong sequence, and his more recent story poems. In his words, "a poem that tells a story from an unobliquitous point of view can be more satisfying than a perfect lyric." For the igenious protean qualities instilled in his work, he has earned an appreciative following, and on occasion was variously branded a "pagan" by Nick Joaquin, an "elf" by Erwin Castillo, a "wombat" by Edith Tiempo, an "onyx bird" by Virginia Moreno, and a "sexpot" by Jose Garcia Villa. This book, with its tropical forest of symbols and whimsical jobes, not only reflects his evolving interest in myth but also deals with what the Chicago writer Richard Stern quoting Freud called "the pyschopathologies of everyday life." . . .

Ilang Sandali Makalipas Ang Huling Araw Ng Mundo Mga Tula by Reagan Romero Maiquez . . "Hindi lungkot kundi pag-asa ang hatid ng mga tula ni Reagan Romero Maiquez sa koleksiyon. Hindi lungkot kundi ang pagnanais na mabuhay o magpatuloy ng buhay, kahit na ang araw-araw ay tila ginagawang katapusan ng mundo para sa mga pangkaraniwan. Higit sa lahat, isinisiwalat ng mga tula rito kung bakit patuloy na humihinga ang mga pangkaraniwan. Kung bakit patuloy na bumabangon mula sa pananadlak ng malupit na sistema. Kung bakit patuloy na kumakapit kahit sa ilang saglit—mga nakaw, inangkin, binawing sandali—bago at matapos ang iba’t ibang bersiyon ng pagkagunaw ng mundo. Sa ganitong poetika ng pag-usbong ng hindi pangkaraniwang mamamayan, makikita ang hindi pangkaraniwang makata—ang mga hindi pangkaraniwang tula na dumarama at umiibig sa pangkaraniwan, umuunawa sa personal at politikal, at nagdudulot ng pag-asa at pagmamahal sa gitna ng mga delubyo, peligro, at iba pang uri ng katapusan ng mundo. Ganito ang hindi pangkaraniwan: Hindi lungkot kundi pag-asa. Hindi lungkot kundi pag-ibig. Hindi katapusan kundi simula. Hindi pagkabalaho kundi pagsalunga. Ang mga ito ang ubod at buod ng mga tulang mababasa natin sa siklo ng mga salitang tinipon at binuo mula sa mga tunggalian ng mundo. Narito ang mga hindi pangkaraniwang tula. Ng isang hindi pangkaraniwang makata. Para sa mga pangkaraniwan. At hindi pangkaraniwan. Para walang maiiwan—walang makalilimot—kung bakit ang tao’y lagi’t laging dumudulo sa perenyal na ilang sandali makalipas ang paulit-ulit na huling araw ng mundo." - DR. MICHAEL FRANCIS C.
