Here’s a conversation between Ali and me last Friday. He’s in Puerto Galera. I have work since my company doesn’t observe Philippine holidays. My parents offered to drive me to work. I told them it’s still early so they dropped me off at Podium instead. It’s just a few steps away from my office.

X: Hi sweetie, I went to Living Well a while ago and I found Gu-rin Pan. (I like saying gu-rin instead of green. Haha.) I got so excited and bought one. *laughing*
A: What? Green Pan?
X: Yup! (Ali’s thinking it’s really an expensive pan. I thought so too, at first)
A: And you bought one?
X: Yup yup.
A: How much?
X: Oh, it’s not too expensive… are you angry? *suppressing my laughter now*
A: No, but how much? 10,000? 5,000?
X: No, lower.
A: 4,999?
X: Haha. Lower. 4,998.
A: For a pan?
X: You are mad… I have nothing else to do so I got a few stuff. I also bought some ramekins and other utensils and…
A: I’m not mad but enough shopping for now, you’ll be late for work, ok?
X: Okay.

I was laughing while I was on my way to the office. The pan didn’t cost me 4,998. It’s less than 2,000 Pesos. I would think twice of buying a small pan that costs more than 2,000. Haha. But I think it’s a nice pan. According to the Green Pan website,

There are many negative reviews about it though, but most of those reviews are for the Green Pan from HSN. Not sure if it’s the same thing. But I guess I’m satisfied with my gu-rin pan. I cooked garlic shrimps with lemon butter sauce and Ali loved it. He’s also happy to find out that the pan is not 4,998. Haha. Right now, I’m thinking of getting another one.
