If you missed the Taste Matters out of Singapore program featuring Manila and Adobo, two readers in Singapore were kind enough to post nearly identical short clips of the show. sometime_lurker used a cellphone and hence the maintained anonymity… heehee. But Hershey managed to capture nearly a minute of Marketman and has posted that on Youtube as well. Think of this as a trailer or teaser for the full show that will air on cable in Manila and Hong Kong in about 8 weeks. Will remind readers of program time as it gets closer (if I remember myself) but meanwhile, if you are curious, check out the links to the youtube video in the comments section of this post. Thanks. It’s funny how so many readers probably think I am this really old, fat, bald-headed guy…hahaha! Thanks sometime_lurker and Hershey! :)

Oh, yay! Nice! Ka-pogi naman ni MM! :)
Finally!! a face to a name! you don’t look cholesterol laden etc… as you described yourself to be. I guess you always manage to burn it all when preparing your posts! thanks for sharing
nice job hershey&sometime_lurker…now i know who marketman is when i see him in the restos..or in nasugbu market!
that, and MM’s height, would make him hard to miss. MM, in you tube, you are in the company of tony bourdain, padma lakshmi, and other great names in food-dom…wow! thanks again, hershey and sometime lurker.
I’m part of a couple of on-line communities and it’s always a big deal when someone who is very private “comes out” on-line by posting a picture. Obviously your decision to be anonymous for so long was not a matter of vanity. I know enough Tagalog to agree with Jacob’s Mom. :-)
You look great MM.
Hershey – Thanks for taking time to upload the video.
That was my first reaction too, that Marketman looks younger than I’ve thought though I’ve no idea of his exact age. :-) I was supposed to record Marketman’s TV outing from start to end, but when I turned the cam on, the screen showed “No Card Present.” I had to run to my desk and scour the drawers. So there. That would explain the incomplete video. :-(
so, now i know how you look like, although it doesn’t matter,really. thanks for sharing you culinary know how and taking your readers to your fabulous travels…
wow, a longer video! I’d check it out as soon as I get home! Thanks! :)

Now I’m off to buy a palayok for my adobo :)
Finally, a face to the popular name!

Now, we know who we are dealing with… a filipino face.
At last!!!!! The mystery is unraveled bwahahahaha!(maniacal laughter)
Bitaw MM uy! It really is refreshing to put a face to the name!
Next project: a book?????? :-)
Much younger than I’ve thought. Can I announce the you tube in link in my site? Such a fan, haha. You probably won’t remember, I ‘interviewed’ you via email a year ago. Thanks for sharing the link. =)
You look very young! When did you and Mrs. MM have The Kid? When you were 12?!? Just kidding!
As everyone has said, it’s nice to put a face to the name.
Cool! Nice to place a face with your blogs. Your comments on the video does not give you justice in the amount of food knowledge embeded in your brain.
hay, finally i saw you on youtube..hahaaay! you look much younger than i expected hehe great job!
yay MM!
Yay Marketman!
It’s great to finally see the face behind the great blog. Here’s to more teaching and inspiration for all of us whom you’ve taught how to appreciate, respect and love food wherever we may be in the world!
