Canned Tuna Paella: Another Favorite

I’m a big fan of canned tunas. I really love them. And, in the spirit of the Lenten season, i’ll be eating canned tuna instead of a full meal. Let’s hope i can stick to that plan. Hehe.

tunapaella For eating/snack, i really enjoy flakes of tuna (in brine or in lemon-flavored liquid) straight from the can. Recently, they started producing ‘tuna paella’. I saw one from a convenience store and decided to try it. I absolutely loved it! It’s a complete meal with the rice and all (although, not in regards to nutrition). The pic on the left is from Century Tuna but I’ve also tried San Marino’s similar product the other day. Honestly, I kinda’ prefer Century’s.

One big disappointment i have with our canned tunas here (or to any canned product in our country) is the lack of easy-open options. It was only exclusive to canned ham and canned beans. While I was staying in Japan, I often took easy-open canned tuna for lunch at the office. It was easy to carry and cleanup afterwards. We didn’t have that here, well, until recently. It’s a good thing that canned tuna paella’s comes with an easy-open can. I guess, since it’s tuna with rice – they are marketed as an instant meal. Straight out of the can.

Just one weird thing. Eating it directly from the can makes me feel like I’m stealing from my cat. It looks like cat food! Haha.

Well, it still tastes good and very convenient.

How to get an OEC at NAIA

IMPORTANT: This post is already outdated.  Please follow the new instructions here:  How to get OEC Online First, let me make it clear: you can only do this if you satisfy the following conditions: 1. You’re an OFW (currently and ‘officially’ employed abroad) 2. Will be visiting the Philippines for 5 days or less. The OFW counters at the airports would only give you clearance (called emergency OEC) when you have your work visa and would be going back to your country of employment within 5 days. Anything other than that, you should go to POEA offices or distribution centers (i’ve read they have one in SM Manila and one in Trinoma).

If you’re planning on a short vacation to Japan, and you’re residing in Singapore the process of getting a visa is actually so much easier here than in Manila. Well, I guess that applies to a lot of things.. but that’s another topic! Since it’s supposed to be that easy, I won’t keep you waiting. This guide applies to you if: You’re a Filipino (or maybe other nationalities required to get a Japan visa) currently residing in Singapore (PR, student/dependent pass, or work permit). Filipinos are required to get a visa when entering Japan. For other nationalities please check this site: http://www.sg.emb-japan.go.jp/visa_exemption.htm#visatable *if you’re not listed in the exempted countries, then you require a visa. You are planning on a short Japan visit (max 15 days only). For multiple entries, training, study, business you’d have to do more than what is given in this guide. Better to check the embassy website for details. You are currently in Singapore. What?! I need to make s
