Marketmanila.com Turns Five This Month!

IMG_9765.JPG

Marketmanila.com turns five this month! In blog years, that has to be the human equivalent of nearly 100 years old! I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought I could keep this up for this long. In the first four years, I wrote 1,900 posts and the blog logged 9.3 million page views. In the past year, I managed to write another 450+ posts and readers added another 5.5 million page views for a total of nearly 15 million page views over the lifetime of the blog. Every day between 6-9,000 visitors from around the world come to visit… I honestly thought I would have run out of material to write about by now, but as I type this, I realize I have a backlog of nearly 50+ posts worth of photos and items to blog about. I have been tempted to call it quits a couple of times during the past few years, but have also been fascinated with the continued growth in readership and the incredible exchange of ideas, tips, recipes and insight that was shared in the comments section. So thank you for being a part of the marketmanila community and for your repeated visits to the blog. And in true pinoy fashion, it’s not the celebrant that gets the gifts, it’s the other way around! :) So for the next week or two, I will be giving away an assorted bunch of goodies as my anniversary “balato” or gifts for readers from near and far…

IMG_7738.JPG

The prizes are an odd bunch of goodies. Up top, I unearthed one LAST marketmanila.com t-shirt that has never been used. Size SMALL, it asks the question “Have you been to the market lately?” and on the back “www.marketmanila.com”. To keep the heat up, and since siling labuyo has figured in a recent rant/controversy, I decided to harvest several ripe siling labuyo or native bird’s eye chilies from our gardens and dried them to yield several dozen seeds.

IMG_9767.JPG

I will probably half this bag of seeds and if you are anxious to grow some of these, I could mail it to you anywhere in the world. And you wouldn’t believe how many people have asked me for siling labuyo seeds!

IMG_9766.JPG

For the environmentally conscious, I will be giving away a tote bag made from recycled flour sacks. Made by fellow blogger Joey of 80breakfasts and her friends, this is a nice way to cut down on plastic bags when at the market, grocery, etc.

IMG_9764.JPG

I will also be giving away a small box of silicone food loops which work really well when roasting a chicken, or tying up other ingredients before cooking. These are kind of pricey and difficult to find locally.

IMG_9762.JPG

Not as fancy as the food loops but just as useful are high temperature resistant rubber bands, great for roasts, etc.

IMG_9760.JPG

A silly set of clips are great for resealing half-eaten chips or crunchy snacks…

… and finally, I am giving away one bottle of home-made guava jelly, and a bottle of kalamansi marmalade that were made in the Marketman household from organic fruit. There will be a variety of ways that you can try and win one of these prizes over the next few days so please visit the blog often for more details. Folks from anywhere in the world can participate, but if you win a prize, I can only mail it to a friend or relative of yours in the Philippines (the seeds can be mailed anywhere at your risk), where local post or LBC will deliver. The jams can only be claimed from a pick-up point in Megamall as I think the bottled items are difficult to send by post/courier. So let the games begin… and the best of luck to all of you! :)

    Congrats congrats! More food to come :) Pun intended!

  46. congrats Mr. MM…i stumbled upon your blog last year and now im hooked. this is my routine, newspaper, your blog and then work…in that order every morning in the office. keep up the good work. and once i get bored, i go to this site again and again. it’s like a therapy for me….hehehehe…

  47. Hi MM! Happy 5th “blogful” years!

    My sister flew to Cebu for the annual Taoist temple celebration the day I flew to Hong Kong for my medical checkup. Before she left, I gave her a list to call and see in Cebu…list you have in this food blog. Of course, I told her not to miss Zubuchon in Banilad Town Center’s Sunday Market. She enjoyed it and bought a kilo to the hotel, had a picture with you and brought home a complimentary bottle of kalamansi marmalde for me. Remember the chubby lady who kept asking for your name? Shhhhhhhhhhh…she loves good food but doen’t know how to cook. Hehehehehe

    I told her how much joy I had since the day I came across your food blog. It’s entertaining besides being educational… with friendly, unselfish bloggers (like sister, bettyq, silly lolo, maria clara, artisan to name a few …) and a lot of food lovers like me. MM, you might not know it, but you’ve made me love my kitchen more as I prepare my family meals.

    Kudos and have more blogging years to come!

  48. Happy anniversary, MM! And happy anniversary MM family, crew, and all the readers who have so generously shared their ideas and experiences in making this the best pig ever, aw sorry the best blog. Maybe you can concoct a cake with Lipitor! :-)

  50. Would love to have some of that great organic jelly/marmalade.. My girlfriend loves fruit preserves..

  51. Happy anniversary!

    If you do not mind, what were the factors or issues that tempted you to call it quits?

  52. Congrats Marketman!!! How many more years can you keep this up?

    “To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,
    Home again, home again, dancing a jig;
    To market, to market, to write a new blog;
    Home again, home again, jiggety-jog;
    To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,
    Home again, home again, Market Manila is so much fun!”

    (“Sorry, hard to find a word that rhymes with Zubuchon.”)

    Hoping I can get a prize…

  53. Happy anniversary MM! and congrats for the very informative 5 years! i’ve learned so much from you! maraming-maraming salamat po!

  83. Congratulations and more power to MarketManila!!! Truly, your blog is a great source of gen info, humor and yummy/unusual treats!

  84. Congratulations, MM. When I first chanced upon your blog (I remember I was googling for ‘Bohol’) about 3 years ago, I knew that it was an informative one. I went thru your past blogs and immediately got hooked and tagged your site as favorite. After that, I never missed a day without visiting your blog and feel sometimes disappointed when I don’t see a new post. But even without a new post, your comments section is also full of informative tidbits and it has become a habit for me to check the ‘comments’ as well on older posts.

    Thank you very much for your time and effort in putting up this blog and continuing to feed us with informative and useful stuff. May you continue blogging for the next ten, twenty, fifty years. Congratulations and Mabuhay!

  85. Congratulations MM, I first saw your profile in a magazine. Then i knew that i will be hooked. Thank you for the wonderful recipies that you had posted and for the other blogs that makes me laugh by myself. Happy 5th Anniversary!!! More Power to you!

  87. Happy 5th A! I hope to win the food loops and the guava jelly ! I won a mangosteen jam last year. :)

    :)

  104. All i wanted to say had been said from many people here!..Professionality and Sense of Humor makes this blog moving around….And i guess admin has unlimmited source of it..If im the one who handled this blog,,,Its dead in few months….Another 15 years is easy for this marketmanila.com…..

  105. Congratulations on 5 fantastic years here! I’ve certainly enjoyed them :) Thank you! And a big thank you from me and my partners for including our bag in your round up of prizes!

    Eyeing that guava jelly…let the games begin!

  106. Wow its that long eh? Congratulations MM, I still have the Yummy Magazine with your signature!

  107. Just out of topic maybe. I noticed that everytime I post it says I’m in Europe, how does this get tracked because I’m in Saudi Arabia which is in the Middle East.

  108. Congratulations MM! Thank you for being instrumental in my culinary journeys, but more importantly for the friends I have met through this fantastic blog and EB. Wishing you more happy, yummy blogging years to come! ( maniningil pa rin ako ng kalamansi jam you promised! :) hehe)

  109. Joan, the kalamansi jam is packed and scheduled to depart for Cebu tomorrow morning! :) RobKSA, the server you are using to access the internet is domiciled in Europe somewhere, so it inaccurately records you as being in Europe and not the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately some folks will be misidentified as to location due to this software quirk.

  112. Congratulations MM! You’re the Best! Looking forward to many many more wonderful posts from you!

    Thanks you for sharing so much with us!

  113. congrats on your 5th, MM! so so love your blog… readers like me really feel that you put in a ton of effort on this blog of yours… thanks for “bringing us into your home” everytime you share a recipe, thanks for unselfishly imparting tips and what-nots with all of us… cheers!

  115. Congratulations MM! What would I do without your blog? First thing I open when I get to work! LOL I have tried your recipes, as I mentioned to you on previous emails – and I have never been disappointed. Thank you and keep writing!!

  116. It’s Thank You to you MM because of your blog I am learning to cook Filipino foods which I serve to my British husband, granted that when I got married I told my husband that I do not know how to cook and being a good cook himself he does all the cooking but after 7 years of marriage and feeling guilty, I do the cooking 4 days a week now as Friday is takeaway night and weekend is his time in the kitchen and I am still learning from your blog, in fact I am doing your pata recipe on thursday night but instead of pata i am doing it with pork belly. more power MM and keep on blogging ….

  119. Happy anniversary Marketmanila.com! Great job, MM! May you never tire of doing what you love and I wish you limitless energy to keep this site going!

    Cheers!

  120. congratulations MM! I am a fan since i can’t remember when…maybe about 4 years now. i won’t be joining your contest as we have a chili/sili plant in our small garden, i will let the others have that chance to enjoy siling labuyo all year round : )

  121. Cheers to you MM! Thank you for providing us with such good reads, pics, & knowledge! From a non filipino, I really want to go to the Phillipines & just inspired to travel more in general because of your posts! Good eats & good writes! Thanks again from NJ!

  122. wow i just dont log in for 2 days and i already miss several entries. congratulations on your blog’s 5 year anniversary! thank you for spreading the good chi for food and keeping a happy home. to me you are martha stewart and jeffrey steingarten combined with a dash of simon cowell (i kid! ;P).

  124. Happy Anniversary, MM! May you continue to have boundless energy and creative ideas to share with your readers. Fantastic! Your give-aways are sooo cute and soooo MM.

    I would appreciate if you or the readers would know where I could buy the best labuyo seeds in Manila? Of course, you have some for the contest, but that’s another story. We’ll be visiting Manila in december and my husband who is a chili enthusiast both for culinary and medical reasons would be thrilled if he could get hold of a labuyo seedling, if not some really good seeds to plant in Jan/ Feb (it takes forever to grow chilis in this part of the world). Many thanks in advance!

    My best wishes for many more inspiring reads and leads from Marketmanila!

  125. Congratulations! I always enjoy trying your recipes. Looking forward to reading more in the next 5 years. :)

  127. Happy 5th brithday on your site. I have been with you these past 4+ years on and off because of health reasons and now because of economic reasons. I am very thankful to you for all the knowledge and enjoyment that I had reading your site. I also would like to thank Betty Q. who had helped and is very generous in giving us recipes. Thanks for everything and PLEASE don’t ever think of giving this up.

  128. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Marketman! Wala pa yata akong isang taong nagbabasa dito; pero sa tuwing magbabasa ako sa blog na ito ay mayroon akong natututunan at saka nakakatuwa ang karamihan ng mga komento ng iyong mga mambabasa. Gaya ni DivineG, kung minsan ay hindi rin ako makadalaw dito dahil sa hindi maayos na kalusugan: Nakakainis nga eh, sa tuwing hindi ako nakakabasa dito, mayroong “exciting” na nangyayari—gaya nu’ng pangyayari tungkol sa sili…Nauubusan na ako ng Tagalog—I am catching up on my reading, hahahahaha, Marketman. I love your site. Keep up the good work and the good health at salamat doon sa sagot mo sa una kong e-mail. Kaya nga ako na-hook dito, I saw your passion for ingredients native to the Philippines…Happy blogging!

  130. Happy Anniversary, MM. And congratulations for a superb food blog. I ditto all the other bloggers compliments to your site. I really look forward to opening your site every day and yes, I have not opened it for 3 days and I have lots of posts to read. Hope you will never run out of posts. And also, many thanks to those bloggers who shared their secret recipes, esp bettq. Where is she these days?

  131. YOU are a blessing to all of us with your insatiable curiosity and the energy and generosity to share all of that with all of us who await your daily blog with great anticipation. Maraming maraming salamat guid . God bless you and family. Congratulations, Renaissance Man!

  132. Congratulations Marketman! Thank you for this blog. I have learned a lot and continue to learn from you and other readers as well like BettyQ, etc. God bless you and your family.

  133. Best wishes on hitting 5 years in the blogosphere. Here’s to more witty articles, tasty food adventures and fantastic blogging years ahead. Cheers!

  134. Congratulations!!! For years, I had posted 2 comments only. Job well done MM. I enjoy your blog so much.

  137. You’ve come a long way MM! Thanks for sharing so much information with your readers and for taking us along in your journeys. I’m happy to find a group of enthusiastic food lovers here : ) I’ve learned a lot from you and your readers. Looking forward to more inspirations and ideas in the coming years. I have a foodblog myself which I started in 2005 and in my list of favorites, Market Manila has always been the first one I check out. Happy 5th Anniversary! This deserves a cake from the teen : )

  138. The day I discovered your blogsite was through “Wanderlustsha’s” links….It kept me informed about the seasonal food at home. Other very interesting info about food in my
    country I did not know…..it covers all of one’s senses….and it makes you dream a few seconds at work or at home….and imagine….it gets you inspired to get to your kitchen and
    find your wok….to cook and bake or just to plainly stir your spoon in your coffee thinking
    it could be one of those barako coffee…? sigh….I saw Lubang island in your blog and dream….the day I’ll finally get there and taste those yummy “panchat” and lobster my best friend always talking about! You made some of us bring on some “happy hormones” and learn
    and it makes our brains grow more of those “connecting fibers” by imagining creative ways how to do this and that just to keep up w/ you….it’s social, physical and EQ that hopefully get out IQ’s on a better plane…..it’s like dancing w/ chicken adobo in one hand and a drink in the other….a sure cure for nearly fried neurons….

    CONGRATULATIONS YOUR SECOND BABY IS FIVE……WELL DONE ! and if you ever think again about “quitting’ YOU can not…..you place a link in the globe, specially to me when I miss home country too much…….Chilli_Tamale

  139. Congratulations MM! Visiting your blog has become a daily habit for me, and I’m sure for thousands upon thousands of others.

  140. Congratulations MM! Visiting your blog has become a daily habit for me, and I’m sure for thousands upon thousands of others.
    It’s been enjoyable and educational for me:
    Many of your posts have been about produce and food that I like very much too – like Greek Salad , pili – the “lantahon” pulp (which could eat everyday for months) among others.
    Many posts made me discover things I’ve never been exposed to before, from dishes, restaurants, equipment, produce, markets and many more.
    Your blog rings with much respect and appreciation for the farmers and artisans who come up with such diverse produce and dishes. It celebrates the restored link between producer and consumer.

  141. Hi Mr MM,

    Congrats!! looking forward for the games and give aways!!!! i will surely be so happy to have one of those!
