Panutsa Maker

2 Comments Posted by on October 1, 2013

Peanuts (whether whole or chopped) that are bonded by caramelized sugar is a local candy known by different names such as bandi in Western Visayas (my mother would always buy me this), piñato in Eastern Visayas (sustained me in long bus rides between Negros and Cebu provinces during college years, my favorite variant), peanut brittle in Baguio (wish there’s a local name) and panutsa in Batangas.

Sinaing na Tulingan

Leave a comment Posted by on September 30, 2013

Simmering tulingan for a long time in claypot saturate the fish with the added salt and souring ingredient such as kamias hence the resulting dish makes it a very appetizing viand. Locals who don’t want to spend time simmering and non-locals who would like to bring home this Batangas signature dish gave this old lady a market for her sinaing na tulingan.

Carefully getting the fish where each one is separated by banana leaf during simmering process. The bones are very soft already that it can be eaten as proudly claimed by the vendor

Getting another fish. It's 3 for Php100. She then wrapped the 3 cooked fish together using banana leaf and newspaper as her packaging
