So far I have learned I am not great at baking bread--I am making it too gummy inside. I have been told that one can find rye at Salcedo but I have only been there once and did not actually remember to look for it. I have not actually heard of Alexandre--where are they located? <br /><br />My standards have definitely gone down for bread; all it takes to make me happy now is a little crust and a not sweet sugar (many items including bread tend to be a little too sweet for my taste).kikas_headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298706981662494771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31446940.post-43184688424081546802010-07-30T13:24:21.837+08:002010-07-30T13:24:21.837+08:00I think I fall in to the same category as you but ...I think I fall in to the same category as you but after living here for almost two years, I still can't find things to substitute all the things I miss from North America. Like rye bread. I saw your post on San Francisco so you must understand. Actually bread in general here is a big let down. Micky's is alright and even Alexandre (not sure if you've tried that) but nothing beats the selection in the States.<br /><br />And I share the same sentiment towards S&R. I work a couple blocks away from one and I used to go like once a week. I was worried when I moved here that membership would be expensive like Costco but it's not. As for Grape Nuts, I think it just has to do with price. The owner of S&R herself flies to the States to pick out which items to sell here. Maybe she likes them?jaedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093263517568707612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31446940.post-3856210384428382792010-03-18T00:31:50.555+08:002010-03-18T00:31:50.555+08:00ooooh noooo!

We only have it for emergencies (i.e., Milenyo or the like). Subic is hella far! S&R is 30 minutes from our house, 5 minutes from our lawyer's office, and 10 minutes from the badminton courts. Very convenient. We went to Subic a few weekends ago but only for the beach.<br /><br />Don't worry, I will not talk about S&R any more. Oh wait, that is a lie. They are having their membership sale this week so I will be there! And I will probably write about it.<br /><br />Ronald McDonald in any form is a little scary. But good to know why he looks different here!
