Mom Violy Craving for Filipino Dishes from Seafood Island Restaurant

  Mom Violy wanted to eat crispy pata and pinakbet from Seafood Island Restaurant located in Cubao, Quezon City near the old Shopwise. We had arrived early being the first customers waiting for the restaurant to open. Few minutes later customers began entering the restaurant and we have already placed our order. Mom Violy ordered her crispy pata and pinakbet. Carmina ordered garlic butter shrimp since I don't eat crispy pata. Family member ordered calamari and shrimp fried rice. Everyone had a taste of our meals with leftovers to bring home. Watch my video  Running Errands in the Philippines . NOT SPONSORED.

Haw Flakes


Being a kid we use our imagination during kindergarten and grade school. We played outside with our neighbors who had kids the same age.

I remember we used card board to make a house in our drive way. We used our dolls and toys to decorate our home.

The food we use was whatever we had in our food pantry by asking permission from our own parents.

I remember we pretended we went to attend church someone had dress up being the priest and a nun. 

My parents had some haw flakes and we pretended that was the bread to serve during our pretend mass.


The color may not be white being small and round made us resemble what the priest had fed us during our mass during our imagination we didn't care what it was made.

When I was young my parents always ate lunch at China Town in San Francisco after our meal we would walk around to shop around to bring food back home. I love eating the Haw Flakes rolled up and eating each circle shape giving you a tart taste in your mouth.

It was the common candy sold in China Town and being a kid you eat any candy that allow your own parents let you eat when you can.

I grew up with both parents being very strict. I grew up being a picky kid.

To get some Haw Flakes you may try to purchase it at 168 Grocers Online Shop Shopee Philippines PHP 28.00 ($0.56) 10 grams not including shipping and handling.
