I grew up eating fried fresh abo in Bacolod but in Camarines Sur salted dried abo is quite common.

Buyo

Leave a comment Posted by Lana on November 2, 2013

Aside from the tobacco leaves, betel leaf known as buyo in Bicol is a primary member of the nganga set (ugbas in Bicol).

Heart-shaped leaves that contribute to the "high feeling" of our geriatic folks (typically)

Kapihan

Leave a comment Posted by Lana on October 29, 2013

Here are some of the coffee shops in Burgos Market where locals hangout for breakfast or read newspapers while drinking brewed coffee which they refer to as native.
I like to hangout in a kapihan or carinderia (eatery) wherever town I may be as it’s in this kind of local hangout place one can hear about folk life. Such a great source of first hand information for visitors and more importantly you get a feel of the town and you’ll come across some knowledge about a certain ingredient or process or any tip that the kapihan/carinderia owner unknowingly share.
There’s nothing superficial in these local kapihans and carinderias particularly in rural areas and it’s a pleasure to take in sights including folk decorations and hear honest conversations.

Good native coffee for only 10 pesos

Proprietor usually sits in a corner and takes the role of the cashier

Gutierrez Cafe

I like this painted menu board. Coffee plain means native brewed coffee with muscovado or brown sugar only

Dama in the Plaza

Leave a comment Posted by Lana on October 25, 2013

Improvisation is always notable in this Philippine version of draughts that even the ground can be used as board. In Bacolod plaza players used wooden sheet drawn with skeleton of a checkerboard as well as using Coca-Cola caps as dama pieces.
