Comfort Food!! Home is where the Heart is!
Many of you haven't tried any home made provincial food especially if you grew up in the city. I'm fortunate that I'm able to go to our province and relax to get away from the stressful life of the city. It's always a must for my aunts and my grandmother to cook many local foods that are not found in the city.
It is always a customary to cook in a clay pot using charcoals. Cooking in a clay pot and charcoals takes a lot of patience because it takes some time unlike stoves. However, cooking in clay pot especially if it is soup based is better and more flavorful than stove.
It's an opportunity for me (working in a bank) to have a 2 days off + weekend = 4 days vacation! it's such a nice opportunity to de-stress!
Halo-Halo. It may not be as fancy as those if Iceberg or Chowking but this home made Halo-Halo taste sooo good! ingredients are all tasty: Ube Halaya, Leche Flan, Sweetened Bananas, Jelly, Beans, Sweet Jack fruit. On top of that is Crushed Ice and Milk! No need for sugar since ingredients are sweet! Now, once all the ingredients are placed you have to mixed them and savor the cold, sweet, and delicious dessert to beat the summer heat! Cost: P20 / $.48 now that is waaaay cheap!!
Cheese Bread from a local Bakeshop - yellow bread w/ crumbs (P5 / $.12) / Pan de Coco - little brown bread (Bread with coconut filling - P5 / $.12) / Puto ( P10 / $.24) These local pastries are so good especially during Afternoon Tea / Coffee
