first time we received this sardines from my father-in-law, i didn't really think much of it. i mean, i've tried a pretty good range of brands including both local and foreign and they all tasted pretty much the same.
however, my world view changed the first time i had my first bite of Montano's sardines in tomato sauce. it was really...malasa in a not-so-malansa way (hehe). my hubby and i tried to scrimp on using the rest of the bottles, lest we not be able to savor the sarap of this new discovery for the most amount of time.
that was a few months ago. then i asked my hubby if he could surf the net to see if Montano's is available here in manila as i don't think we'd have the chance to go to dipolog any time soon. and lo and behold, one site said that it's available in rustan's and sm. and so, everytime we'd visit the supermarket, i'd check out the sardines aisle. but the stores seem to be always out of stock.
but today, we got supremely lucky. there was one remaining bottle at the trinoma supermarket. we literally got the last bottle of the sardines in tomato sauce variant. hmmm...hmmm....hmmm.. can't wait to have this heaven in a bottle very soon:-)
