And here’s another Craigslist post that made me go, “hmmm”. A foreigner likes it here in the Philippines,
The Sagada Lemon Pie, the best lemon pie in the world. Seriously! (Disclosure: I’m a relative of the owner. But this is an unbiased, objective assessment. Hehe.) You can learn more about the lemon pie here.
