Going to the local market for some grocery shopping is something I used to look forward to when I was young - that never changed even now that I'm an adult. Although it's crowded and noisy, I find it exciting: learning how to bargain, picking the best vegetables or meat for the best cooking results, and lastly, hunting for delectable snacks. I love the rice cakes and roasted peanuts. The Chinese dessert Tangyuan looks like the "lugaw" that Ilonggos here in Visayas make. Is Tangyuan sweet?
