Wrapped Cooked Rice

Leave a comment Posted by Lana on September 16, 2013

Rice boiled inside weaved coconut fronds. AKA puso.
So common in Eastern Visayas especially in Cebu and I think there are several practical uses of this type of rice packaging that I wonder why the rest of the country did not adapt it.
Puso is practical to bring as rice baon for school, work or picnic. Very practical as street food rice, as take-out rice and appropriate for “plastic-banned cities” Also there’s no need for flatware if paired with skewered meat such as pork barbecue, and eating rice in a moving vehicle is possible with puso.

Perfect for lechon baboy too. Got these together with lechon I bought in Tacloban

Route boards in the windshield of the jeepney. After passing through an area, the corresponding route board will be removed from the windshield

Balot Vendors

Leave a comment Posted by Lana on September 12, 2013

Selling balot in Puerto Princesa's boulevard. I like the basket as balot receptacle

Balot vendors usually have chicharon as side merchandise presumably since they're peddling in the streets at night so there's market for cheap beer accompaniment and chicharon has negligible mass to bring along

El Nido Poblacion

Tourism is the trade in this town center. Here are some photographs of the poblacion including its beach.

More boats and that’s the pier on the leftmost side and the Coast Guard building

Public market as seen from the bus terminal side

I’d rather ride a bus than a van between El Nido and Puerto Princesa. It may take longer but each stop to pick or drop local passengers is something worth noting. Bus ride gives more stories and views than the point-to-point characterless vans
