ICE CREAM BEANS!

Ya'll ever tried these? I also never see them in our market, but since I did today, had to grab them. This is one of those fruits that some people might have in their backyard, but no one really grows them for selling.

My favorite carinderia lady serves like this. I appreciate the effort in making simple things classy, a great experience for students as well, learning how to take pride in their work, no matter how simple it may seem.

PERFECT BITE

Jackpot finding the heart in yesterday's Foundation Day Marathon post race meal. Pinikpikan is always a favorite, but getting a spoon of smoked meat and a heart.....Jackpot!

PAD KRA PAO WITH DUCK EGG

Duck eggs are like eggs on steroids, much eggier than a regular egg. Who can set me up with an ostrich or emu egg?

KILAWIN, KINILAW, CEVICHE?

Anytime I leave the mountains and into the blistering heat (spoiled Baguio resident) of the lowlands, its great to grab fresh seafood as its so much more costly in our city.

I learned the word Kinilaw when I was younger, Kilawin when I moved to the north and Ceviche at some point in between...in my head, they're all the same idea of adding an acidic component to cure raw seafood, onions, chilies....etc. Unless you're making Sugba Kilaw/Sinuglaw which incorporates grilled meat along with the raw seafood.

Google AI says that there are distinct differences. Kinilaw is pure seafood and primarily cured with vinegar, Kilawin has grilled or blanched meat as part of the process and Ceviche utilizes only citrus juice.

We could argue all day on the various combos in between, origins and regional techniques....but save that for another time. Today is appreciation for this food preparation method, I love them all!

Tuna, Blue Marlin or Tanguige (Spanish Mackerel)...which is your 1st choice?

Its been said that when the river crabs leave the river and look for dryer land, a storm is coming! I sure hope not, we've been beat down by rain quite enough already, thank you.

Just lunch

Lettuce is an insane 500+ per kilo, so cabbage is the way!

Chicken was poached in water/shaoxing wine/soy/salt n pepper/a tiny bay leaf, touch of sugar (or not) and ginger (the portions are so tiny, so you can make this 100 times over and over)

Grate garlic and ginger, sliced leeks, some chili as you prefer, a little magic sarap, salt and sesame oil. Mix together and pour smoking oil over it.

De-bone your chicken (or don't), top with your garlic/ginger sauce (above) and you're set.

That broth you poached the chicken in is such a winner! Drink it as soup, pour it on your rice, save it for the next batch, add it to noodles...anything!

This sounds like a lot of work, but it truly isn't, I promise you'll make this over and over!

Add what you want, change what you want, enjoy cooking and eating!
