My dad, who has such a green thumb, planted lots of fruit-bearing trees around our home that one may get lost finding it. Star apples, coconut trees (including macapuno, freak coconut full of soft meat), chico, santol, mangoes, papaya, guyabano or soursop, atis or sugar-apple, banana (finger-like senoritas & cooking variety saba), guava, & even kamias or bilimbi.

In college, we had series of overnight jobs working on projects as a team. These would be like all work, work, work, and rest would be during meals or snacks. There were instances when we will just set off to our favorite barbeque stall for merienda. Buy ice-cold coke poured into plastics from the nearest store & eat right there while queuing for our isaw. I remember a particular street in San Andres Bukid, Manila near the railways & the South Expressway. Never been there for a long time. Hope somebody would tell me if that particular place of barbeque stalls is still there. (Isaw photo courtesy of Karen.) […]

Kamayan style. Reason for this is the brownouts synonymous w/ typhoons. So what I will share here is really simple & uncomplicated that makes me wonder if there is a need to discuss the procedure. Chow that you can prepare under minimum lighting – pritong tilapia & nilagang talong w/ kamatis at bagoong or fried tilapia & steamed aubergine w/ raw tomatoes & sauteed shrimp paste. It is also interesting to note that tilapia is bountiful after a storm in my hometown. The nearest lake is overflowing that this fish is really cheap but just watch out for the meat is bland & tastes like lupa (earth soil). Hahaha […]
