Food Trip 170 - Sarap to the Bones

When the catch is fresh and the taste of the food is good, there's no holding back but to finish that one until only the bones are left.  This is what we call 'sarap to the bones.'

'Sarap to the bones' is a famous tagline of a famed fried chicken restaurant in the country.  But it does not follow that it is only applicable to chicken or other red meat alone.

As long as the catch is fresh, even with a simple dish like pinangat, one will definitely enjoy a good food to the bones.  It is even more fun enjoying your food with bare hands and taking your sweet time removing the meat from the bones and savoring the delight as you eat.

Food Trip 169 - Fried Bangus Skin

There's a restaurant in Greenhills where they offer bangus or milkfish as their specialty dish.  Well, aside from bangus, they also have the common meat stuff to attract more customers.

As we browse through their menu, a fried bangus skin caught our attention.  In order to satisfy our curiosity, we ordered one.

The meat of bangus is separated from its skin.  The skin was then cut into into strips and deep fried until it becomes crispy.  It has been seasoned to taste already before it was deep fried.  

The moment it was served to us, we found the oil used for cooking the bangus skin still present in it.  It could had been better if they placed that one on a paper towel in order for the oil to be absorbed first before serving.  Since it was freshly prepared, it was like a chicharon with all those crackling sound every time you eat it.  It would be a good finger food during a beer drinking spree.  But the catch is, its crispiness was gone after several minutes.  I guess you need to

finish this one as fast as possible the moment it is serve.

Food Trip 168 - Bibingka

Bibingka is a native delicacy that is available the whole year round.  Oftentimes, food stalls selling bibingkas and other similar delicacies could be encountered in almost every nook the moment the "ber" months are in.

We were waiting for a jeepney ride and in a street corner, there was this stall selling bibingka and puto bumbong.  The bibingka smells good though they had started cooking that one.  We wanted to taste their so-called special bibingka but there was already someone waiting for several orders of that stuff.  Since we could not wait any longer, we deferred our craving.

In the course of our conversation, I asked the lady vendor what made their bibingka special.  She proudly answered that their bibingka has salted egg.  In that case, I told her that I am also special because I have the same stuff as well.  The man waiting for his orders of bibingka could not help but to laugh upon hearing my joke.  The lady vendor looked at me a bit puzzled.  Hehe.
