'Bowling'

Do you like eating meals from a bowl? I think that the bowl is the most versatile eating 'platform' ever devised.

A bowl can hold both dry and soupy foods. One can drink from a bowl. Hey, you can even use it to take a bath with!

There's just something about eating from a bowl that makes it enjoyable. For me, it brings back memories of my childhood when I would be doing my midnight snacks - rice and whatever leftover dinner. And specially if it was sauteed mung beans with pork and shrimp! In the picture, I had beef picadillo. I did start eating from a plate but when I saw the bowl of picadillo, something kicked in and I put all my rice on it.

Some people say that eating from a bowl 'masks' the amount of food you eat. Unless of course you're eating from a bowl the size of a helmet...

Speaking of more pancit...

Jollibee's pancit palabok (also known as fiesta noodles here in the US) is something that I would crave for when I visit home.

It is fast food stuff, but good nonetheless. And pairing it with the 'Champ' burger makes it good x 2!

More to come!

'Simple' pancit

This has got to be the simplest pancit bihon back home. Barely any meat or veggies. But does it taste soooo gooood!! And amazingly priced too!

My sister would buy this in the wet market if time permits, and I would request for her to buy more than usual. It is neat that such a simple dish can pack such a wallop. I know that it subjective, but in my books, this is 'The Pancit' - provided it is not made with MSG....

Hot weather drink

My hot weather drink of choice while visiting back home. Good 'ol Gatorade!

Water would still be primary, but Gatorade is a close second. I think I bought a couple of dozens back then. Also found out that Gatorade goes well with Goldilock's cakes - nice! :-D

Tilapia

Fried tilapia. Some tomatoes and a little 'patis' or salt. Perfect!
