After i got here, i have no longer eat them. I was thinking to cook it but i don't think the ingredients for it specially the vegetables are in the market (palengke) here or let say, (i don't know how to cook it myself). Although they have a lot of veggies here but one thing i knew for sure is only the cabbage and celery. Maybe if i can go to asian store i might find me some. But the only thing about is the asian store here is 150 miles.
