Humbled By "Palaman"

 

Milka

Nonya Kaya

Hainanese Kaya

This month of December, it occurred to me that I have several options for "palaman". Palaman refers to filling or spread for when eating bread.

I was born and raised in a poor household, that growing up, having a chance to eat bread is a luxury already. So having a "palaman" is something very rare too, LOL.

So I am surprised and humbled by the realization that I have options this time, such as:

Peanut Butter - always my father's favorite

Dari Creme - I love this one because of my years in Laguna/Manila where people usually have it in the morning with their pandesal (Filipino bread)

Nonya Kaya - my favorite spread (from Singapore- a gift from Nat)

Hainanese Kaya - still a gift from Nat

Biscoff - I bought through Nicole, from UAE and 

Milka - still a gift from Nat, pasalubong from Singapore

Too many to choose from, LOL.

And my heart is happy! I feel like I am wealthy, even for just these days....
