Reciplease? Spaghetti ala Makati Supermarket

Unlimited Beef Tacos on Sundays, Creamy chicken macaroni soup on All Souls’ day, Majestic ham and Asti on New Years eve, Kimpura’s tempura and chahan with Lolo…There's talk about the shortest connections to someone's heart is his or her stomachs, and perhaps our brain's hippocampus is wired in there somewhere as well because when I taste certain dishes like those above, corresponding memories come rushing back.One of our fave dishes that played a part in our childhood was the famous spaghetti of Makati Supermarket. Along with my sisters, we would go to the supermarket with our Mom maybe every week. It would take us one cart each (4 carts in all) to buy enough groceries for our big family of 9 plus helpers. After we finish ticking of our shopping list, we would either order spaghetti for take out or eat it there right the café, sometimes pairing it with Orange Julius' drinks. Usually it would be the former since our Dad and 3 brothers would be waiting for merienda at home.Having moved out of Makati after marriage and with the supermarket itself closing and just retaining its Alabang branch now, we haven’t had this dish for a long time so one Sunday I brought out my recipe cards and found this recipe which my elder sister shared with me years ago.If you like the sweet and tangy Makati Supermarket spaghetti, try this recipe and perhaps you’ll also enjoy the many memories that come as it touches your lips.Spaghetti ala Makati Supermarket500 grams spaghetti noodles
