Avocado and egg on toast time

Since I've seen this recipe posted on Pinterest, I've always wondered what avocado would taste like as a spread.

Filipinos are used to eating avocado as a dessert mixed with sugar, cream and milk. Or in their ice cream. Not a viand or sandwich spread.

Since it's avocado season, I've finally gotten around following a recipe at this site.

Real simple to follow:

Mash the avocado, season it with a bit of salt and pepper.

Toast the bread. I spread a thin layer of butter on mine before spreading the avocado. :)

Fry the egg sunny side up (pardon my messy eggs). Place on top of the toast.

Red dots = hot sauce optional.

My niece Gab and I had one toast a-piece. She said she could not taste the avocado that much and was overwhelmed with the egg.

For me, it tasted good. Avocado can be a sandwich spread (aside from being guacamole) and it's taste was a good combo with the egg.

Will scrambled eggs work too? We will see next time.

Pocky Matcha

My good friend Ann went on a vacation in Japan and gave me and Tidus Pocky Matcha as her pasalubong.

























I've seen this green box of goodies in the Family Mart at the office but I did not attempt to buy since I'm not really a fan of green tea or matcha flavored stuff.

Upon opening, I was happy to know the big box contained four individual snack packs because I did not want to open the entire thing and have left overs in case I didn't like how it tasted.

However, I liked how it tasted. The chocolate-almond coating tasted like the usual yummy Pocky chocolate but the stick had a slight bitter taste because of the matcha.

Tidus liked it too! He finished one packet by himself :)

Thanks Ninang Ann for the yummy pasalubong from Japan.
