The less ordinary combo

November 13, 2008

I recently fancy my self-made combo, which I named Mc Sugoi Meal. I would buy tuna salad with vinaigrette dressing from Mc Donald’s and Makki from Sugoi. It cheers me up as I devour the seemingly light salad, in between the delicious hurt that strikes my nasal area as I munched the Makki dipped in huge amount of wasabe.

Aside from our old favorite food couples, mangga at bagoong, puto at dinuguan, it pays to ‘discover’ your own version of combo. We have different taste buds, hence, the different preference. I also like:

(a) V-Cut + Coke
(b) Ginisang monggo + spicy hotdog
(c) Mc Donald’s fries being dipped in Chocolate or Caramel Sundae
(d) Danggit + ginisang ampalaya
(e) Bread (preferably pandesal) with spicy pancit canton, dirty ice cream or Spanish sardines as spread
(e) Etc.

What’s yours?

katcarneo 11.13.08 at 12:19 pm: I also love the McDonald’s fries dipped in chocolate sundae. Here are some combos I like:
Rice and Lala Fish Crackers
Bread Sticks and Mango Flavored Yoghurt
Fresh tomatoes and Soy Sauce

Goldilocks Food Shoppe launched an interesting new dis, the Laing Pasta. The ulam laing poured on top of spaghetti noodles and topped with cheese. It is surprisingly good!

Wow, your combos are so original. I never tried them except for your number 1. I’d like to try Lala crackers and rice. I remember when I was in highschool I tried chicharon and kropeck as ulam (while eating with my hands). So yummy!

Hmmm, the laing pasta sounds interesting. I’ll take note of that.

sej 11.14.08 at 11:31 am: Mc Donald’s fries being dipped in Chocolate or Caramel Sundae is absolutely perfect. i always do this everytime i’m in McDo. (: i also like mayonnaise as a dip for fried fish, or simply eat rice + mayo. or use it as spread on sandwiches or plain biscuits.
