Japanese hot pot and Filipino coffee

Yum to both! Thanks to our friends who invited us over for a real Japanese hot pot, followed by a wonderful mango tart (ate it before I had time to take a picture...) and homegrown (kind of) , home-roasted, home-made coffee!



Coffee has become quite a passion among our friends, so much that some are starting to grow their own. We will try it to, and have bought in 10 seedlings for our little farm (where there is still no house..) in Cavinti. I am not too optimistic, coffee farming is a bit out of character for us... But hey, the Philippines used to be the fourth largest coffee producer in the world - time to revive the industry! And for all you visitors, the real coffee here is very good - try it! And stay away from the Nescafe...
