Our Top Blog Posts in 2009

"Living the Good Life for Less" started with a blog post on "Delicious Ampalaya (Appetizers)" in December 11, 2008 and it has been more than one year that our family has been blogging about our adventures in food, shopping, traveling, books and movies. Here is a summary of our blog (up to Jan 7, 2010):

> Flag Counter: Readers from 76 different countries visited our blog with 56.1% from the Philippines, 22.8% from the USA and the rest from other countries.

> Sitemeter: There were about 5,472 total visits (upto Jan 7 - 9:50 AM) with an average of 13 visits per day and about 1.3 minutes visit length.


> Our Top Blog Posts (based on Sitemeter from the most recent 100 visits) were:

1. Our Favorites at Lola Idang: Lola Idang's at Visayas Ave., QC serves "lutong bahay" dishes like kare-kare, crispy hito and pancit.

2. Japanese Goma (Salad) Dressing: I like my salad (simple chopped cabbage) with the Japanese Goma. Apple brought more bottles from Tokyo and Daisy gave us a bottle as a Christmas pasalubong.

3. Anthony Bourdain eats Pampanga's Sisig: Oh, I miss the sisig! Do you know that original sisig from Pampanga is not served in a hot plate?

4. Pinoy Takoyaki: I am still on a Takoyaki hunt. I just tasted takoyaki at Robinson's Manila. Read my comments at my blog.

5. Takoyaki Balls, Upended- Bakudan!: Apple's blog post about takoyaki look-alike balls but bigger which she tried while looking for bargain shops at Okachimachi, Tokyo.

6. Suzhou Dimsum in Malate: A small but interesting Chinese restaurant that serves authentic Chinese delicacies. It has been one year since our last visit here.

7. A Garden Restaurant at UP Diliman: We just had our lunch here at Chateau Verde last Sunday (Jan 3). Still my favorite and now Geof's favorite is the Poached Fish Fillet.
