Thank goodness I found you at Scour.Com. I have been a patron of Food Gawker for a long time, but seeing a website that catered to Filipinos is a refreshment.
Also, I can’t wait to get a hold of that McCormick packet. We’ve been making palabok with Mama Sita’s, but this one is sure to please our taste buds!
I have made up my mind - I’m buying one at the supermarket later!!
Might I add, I think you forgot to include the Pesto Sauce mix in the procedure. :O
