Good day everyone again. Am back to writing again...was busy with my swimming..as you all know that summer is now here in Turkey, and boy it's do hot that I would prefer myself to be locked in a FRIDGE!!, but I am so near with the sea here, just 10 mins. drive to the beach and SPLASH!!! take a dive.. and enjoy.
Anyway, I am going to share to you one of the Filipino's  favorite appetizer as I would consider it, a lovely finger food that we do enjoy eating while its still hot, dipping it in a sauce..
