Foods and fruits in the Philippines

  • Mood:
  • A daily Reminder: Life is worth thanking for.
  • Weather:
  • Currently Reading:

Before anything else, I am thankful that I arrived Michigan safe and sound. The last two flights that I had which is from my place to Manila then from Manila to Detroit are all delayed in there respective flights for almost 2 hours!!! Oh yeah nabanas ang beauty ko sa kakahintay but there is nothing I could do I am not the owner of a private jet plane just a mere passenger so wait ang beauty ko the max. Kaya I arrived in my hubbies loving arms na tuliro hehehe! I don’t have that enough sleep and the food is just to suffice the hunger that you feel along the flight. With 18 flying hours sino ba ang hinde makaka-experienced nang jetlag after huh! So for now I am sleeping irregularly trying to get out the jet lag. But this is not my story all about I am going to reminisce the dishes or food or fruits that I enjoyed while I was there in the Philippines. So here is it!

 

Foods and fruits in the Philippines.

 

I don’t have anything against the food here in America. They are good and delicious. It is just that for 38 years I was used to the food back in the Philippines. And so every time I came to visit the Philippines I pig myself with the dishes that I missed that much.

So what are those Filipino dishes that I’ve missed so much that I don’t have the privileged to cooked it here in US of A . Well number one is the bas-oy, bas-oy is a dish which contain the simple and cheap vegetables. You have the option to mix it with fried or paksiw fish or fried dried fish. But for me I’d rather put none but just vegetables. Second, is the paksiw na isda, my gush it is just so yummy I didn’t realized I have eaten too much already. Third is the kinilaw, this one is also too good specially when the fish is fresh. What is funny is that since my arrival in the Philippines I only ate lechon once!!! And that was last April 6 my birthday. And to the effect that I didn’t bought one whole lechon but just 2 kilos of lechon hehehe. Basically, the whole time I was in the Philippines I ate lots of veggies and not much on the pork or beef. Not included pa the squid and the shrimps that I ate a lot too.

 

Then on the other side, the fruits in PI. My gush I was having a good time drinking a lot of mango, buko, banana, avocado shakes. In spite of my hard cough and “pagaw” I still go for mango. Sabi nga nila I should not eat or drink too much mango because it will make me cough too much. But what the heck this is once in a life time moment hehehehehe. So go for it, drink what ever it takes me to hehe. And since it was summer there, fruits in different shapes and colors is everywhere. Like kaimito, guyabano, seragullas, durian, guava, papaya, banana, avocado, lanzones and a lot more! With all those healthy dishes and fruits I feel like I lose some weight or it is just in my dreams?? Hahaha!!

 

 

5 Hugs.

Oh my gosh, those foods looks soooooooooooooooooooooooo good Kim! I know what you mean, nothing beats those types of foods. Wow. Now you know what, I lived in Hawaii for the last few months and so I got to eat some of those fuits and foods. Lots of filipino's there so I felt obligated to eat and eat their cookings. haha! I gained a lot of weight. but i didnt have a chance to take pictures like you did. I know you went to spoil your neices and nephews again. Lucky lucky ...

Hi Kay, it is so nice of you to spend those months with your grandfather. I wish I could visit Hawaii too they said it is like Philippines. And that they also have fruits same like in the PI. It is so hard to maintain our weight Kay hahaha, specially many people loves to cooked for us or share their food to us diba? You bet my neices and nephew were all spoiled when I was there. :):)

Nice to know u're back. I love everything here EXCEPT for one. I don't eat kinilaw. I know my Tatay is fond of it and he loves to fix some especially during anchovy season. Have a great weekend and TC always.

Hello Lan, it is very minimal ra biya. Wish madala nako tanan ang pwedeng mapasalubong gikan sa Pinas hehe. Ug naa pa lang lagi ta kaugalingon nga jetplane hehe. Good to know you like it. :)

Hello Jeth, nakow po one of my favorite pa naman ang fish kinilaw. I discover that they mix alpine evaporated now to the kinilaw. But I do insist that my kinilaw is the original one, no evaporated or mayonnaise. Thanks for droppin by girl appreciate it.
