Chicken Inuburan:)


Chicken Inuburan or Chicken with banana pith!

 
This tender and sweet white part is what gives the recipe a blissful flavor. The preparation of this dish is actually laborious since you have to cut down a whole banana tree to get the pith.

Binakol

 Aklan chicken dish that is steamed together with its own tasty juice cooked over a flaming charcoal inside a bamboo.

The process of this cooking makes the chicken absorb all aroma of the natural way of cooking and provides a juicy texture and rich taste that lingers on in the mouth for quite a while after the whole eating is done.

 Baye-Baye

This brown baye-baye variety is made from toasted rice thus giving it a more disctinct flavour compared to it's more "caucasian" cousin. I like the one wrapped in banana leaves compared with the one in plastic for it gives it a more native feel.

This is in no particular order. It is again sequenced by the land area of each province just like my previous posts! :)
Sorry, it was posted late as we had an OCLA last weekend and exams crashed over me last week :(

1. Mt. Mayon in Albay

I've mentioned this beautiful place a lot of times, and yes expect more of it for the rest of my future blog posts. Huhu #Don'tH8 I can't help it, it's the most iconic tourist destination in Albay. Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines, having erupted at least 49 times in the last 400 years.

If you're updated with the current "ganaps", locals are being evacuated away from the Mayon as it is now classified to be on Alert Level 3, zero being no volcanic activity. The most destructive eruption by far happened in February 1, 1841. Anyway, you really won't have to make an effort to see this when you go to Albay since it's visible anywhere you go! :)

10 Food Delicacies in Region 8: Eastern Visayas

Philippines has always been one of the countries that has plenty of food selections. A lot of people worldwide love the exotic and different kind of food here in the country. Here are 10 of the mouthwatering food delicacies in Region 8:

1. Sasima from Eastern Samar

Sasima is a caramel bread crumb treat which is more expensive than the tambis-tambis. This is made by using caramel to stick the bread crumbs together and hold them in one piece. It is neither hard nor is it soft like how it was before it was processed into this. I think it is largely because of the caramel which is absorbed by the small pieces of bread.

2. Binagol from Eastern Samar

Binagol is pronounced with a longer stress on the "a". Binagol is made of a root crop named Talyan, coconut milk and sugar. It is then molded into a coconut shell. Binagol is quite sweet with the distinct tast of the root crop.

3. Tambis-Tambis from Eastern Samar

Tambis-Tambis is a sweet coconut treat sprinkled with white sugar. The coconut shreds were molded with the added food coloring to give its bright and fruitful appearance and then deep friend which holds them together but still retaining the soft insides.

4. Moron from Eastern Samar

Moron is pronounced like Morong. Moron is like the regular suman but the rice is cooked in coconut milk and mixed with a bit of cocoa. The Moron has the similar consistency of the suman and the cocoa enhances the taste. Moron is so soft that you can cut the small tube with a pair of scissors down the middle and just squeeze it out. You can go through a lot really quick.

8. Pastillas from Samar

Carigara is known for its tasty pastillas made from pure carabao's milk. There are imitations, ones made from condensed milk and the city shops are littered with them. It's the carabao's milk that makes all the difference so if it's not made from it, the tast is really different - it becomes too sweet.
