Binagol - This is a visayan delicacy. Sweetened shredded gabi tuber with coconut and condensed milk then cooked in coconut shells and wrapped in banana leaves.
My colleague brought this home for us from his R&R. We had one each.
Zamboanga: Shrimps and Crabs in Alavar sauce
2nd Lunch after the Civac this morning.
#crabs #shrimp #alavar
Zamboanga: Wichcraft by La Tienda
It's been months since I last visited this place so I invited my boss and two fellows for some sandwiches and coffee. The crabwich that I loved was out of stock so I ended up ordering these instead:
 |
| Prune cake - It was the winner for the night. The cake was moist and it was not too sweet. |
 |
| Salted Caramel Frappe - ho hum... Can't taste the "salt". I should have stuck with the juice. |
 |
| Grilled chicken wrap - The bread wrap was somewhat stale. The chicken had an unusual taste. I'm not going for this again. |
Zamboanga: Tamal
Tamal
The Zamboanga version of the tamales. It uses ground rice and coconut milk and is wrapped in banana leaves. For the stuffing, it is stuffed with glass noodles (vermicelli) cooked with camaron rebosado (i.e., with sautéed shrimp and seasonings, plus a hint of chili).
Bought this from the OJT for 10Php.
Zamboanga: Chicken Pianggang
Late lunch. The boss saved some ”chicken pianggang” exclusively for me. =P
Chicken Pianggang - According to the Boss, pianggang is a Tausug viand. It’s very spicy chicken soup.
Warning: It’s not for the feint of heart.
Zambaonga: Paseo - Knicker bocker and Isaw
 |
| Knicker bocker - A Zamboanga favorite. Before I went home, I had my friends bring me to Paseo . Nothin like a good ole dessert to top the night. <3 br="br"> |
 |
| Isaw - Chicken intestines. My friend had this. Not really something I'd readily eat. I'm happy with my knicker bocker. =P |
Zamboanga: Early Bird's
Early bird is famous for their shawarma. We usually have it delivered at the hospital. It's my first time to go to the actual shop and imagine my surprise when they had one of the best tasting smoothies I've tried in the city! Seriously.
 |
| Mango shake |
 |
| Banana shake with choco chips on top |
 |
| Zambaonga's version of shawarma comes with potato wedges. =P |
Chocola's Cispy Mint
I am addicted to mint choco. Period.
Review:
Bought for the sake of trying. Will not buy again.
Baguio: Cafe by the Ruins
This is one of my fave foodie places. I often bring my visitors here whenever I want to showcase my hometown. I think a part of the history of Baguio is embedded in the resto thus I also consider it as a landmark.
