🍽 Best Bite in Bacolod – The Authentic Bacolod Inasal.

Advertisement by Google:

Aside from its colourful Maskara festival and must-visit tourist spots, Bacolod city is popular for its Bacolod Inasal. In fact, there are numerous restaurants located around the country claiming to have an authentic Bacolod Inasal as part of their menu. But eating Bacolod Inasal,  that is being bought and eaten right in the vicinity of Bacolod City gives such feeling of genuineness.

Bacolod Inasal has a great taste that will surely make you consider of tasting once you visit this place. It has a tender and juicy flavour which is perfect partner for rice. I would also advise you to try this as pulutan with cold beer. Without a doubt, Bacolod Inasal can be eaten without a sauce because of its savoury flavour.

Inasal is a Visayan word “asal” which means to grill or roast. Inasal means roasted or grilled which is commonly used as Inasal Baboy and Manok or simply Lechon.  Inasal varies in terms of taste depending in the origin of the recipe. With Bacolod Inasal, it has distinctive taste that you can easily distinguish when you eat a roasted chicken that are coming from different location. I must say that whoever created the secret recipe of Bacolod Inasal – he/she made

The Taste of Mango Flavoured Pizza in Province of Guimaras.

Advertisement by Google:

When I visited the province of Guimaras , a lot of residents here advised me to try their pride – the sweetest mango in the whole world ; it can only be found in this province and they export it in various countries.  I’ve heard it a lot; not just hearsay but I read numerous travel blogs that are highlighting this famous mango. But “nothing-to-few” online writers wrote about this Mango Flavoured Pizza; indeed, it can only be found as well in this province.

Honestly, I just discovered it when I personally get there. It can be bought at the store named “The Pitstop Restaurant, ” which is located along the Guimaras Circumferencial Road of the municipality of Jordan. It is my first time to hear, see and taste such innovative pizza.


Obviously, since mango is the primary product of the province. Entrepreneurs took advantage of the abundance of such fruit; they innovate the usual pizza into a mango-flavored pizza that when you heard it – it will trigger your curiosity of buying and get the answer of “HOW   DOES IT TASTE LIKE?”



Personally, nothing spectacular when it comes to the crust. The crust is tender especially if it is still hot. But when it comes to the topping which is mango itself, I rather preferred eating the mango separately as a fruit or as a shake rather than eating it on the top of pizza crust. I can taste the sourness from it, which is obviously normal for a mango when it went through a process of cooking. Unlike with the process of “Mango Jam”, though it undergone with the heat; sugar is added as part of the process to maintain the sweetness.


Honestly, I don’t like mango on the crust. I rather chose mango shake with pizza instead. But that was just my preference because my friends enjoyed the Guimaras Pizza. In fact, they bought a lot as a pasalubong way back home. Well. It’s a matter of preference. But I strongly suggest considering it buying and personally taste it.

If you already taste it, please leave your comments below. Maybe I just have a weird taste bud and didn’t enjoy the pizza.

🥚 Balut (Chicken Embryo) Eating Challenge Turns Into a Tutorial

In this video blog, I take on the challenge of eating one of the Philippines' most iconic and “daring” delicacies—Balut (or Balot). Often labeled as "the most challenging Filipino food" by foreigners, balut may not sound appealing to everyone, especially if you didn’t grow up with it. However, it’s a surprisingly nutritious snack, packed with 188 calories, 14 grams each of protein and fat, 2 milligrams of iron, and 116 milligrams of calcium. Today, I’m sharing another food trip experience featuring this exotic treat!

On February 19, 2017, a Sunday evening at exactly 5:30 PM, I stepped out in search of something unique to eat. That’s when I came across a young vendor selling balut. Without hesitation, I bought three pieces and thought, "Why not film myself eating these?" And just like that, this spontaneous idea turned into a fun and informative vlog, capturing not only my enjoyment of the food but also the nutritional insights I discovered along the way.

Balut has always been one of my favorite exotic foods. The savory broth inside the egg is a flavor I find irresistible! In fact, back in college, I once ate eleven balut eggs in one sitting—a memory that still makes me laugh. While balut is considered a healthy aphrodisiac and a great source of nutrients, moderation is key due to its high cholesterol content.

If you’re curious about balut or simply want to learn more about this iconic Filipino delicacy, this video is for you. From the spontaneous challenge to the nutritional breakdown, it’s a mix of fun and learning that you won’t want to miss. Watch the video below and experience the taste of Filipino street food culture with me!

🍪 Rejano’s Marinduque Delicacies – Arrowroot Cookies.

The Rejano’s Bakery has been making bread, cookies, pastries and sweets for over 60 years now. The tradition began in 1946 when Timoteo Castillo opened the Castillo Bakery in Sta. Cruz, Marinduque. The bakery was inherited by Crisistomo Rejano, Castillo’s adopted son. Later, Crisostomo’s wife, Belen cooked up a very good arrowroot (uraro) cookie that served as treats for friends and relatives during birthdays and weddings. Little did she know that her arrowroot cookies would become so popular even outside the boarders of Marinduque. Balikbayans and local tourists would always buy Rejano’s arrowroot cookies as pasalubongs to their loved ones in Manila and abroad.  Carmelita, the daughter of Crisostomo and Belen continued the tradition. She succeeded not only in bringing the Rejano’s arrowroot cookies to arrowroot lovers in Manila, but also in sustaining the livelihood of farmers in her province.

The Rejano’s Bakery is situated in Brgy. Banahaw , Sta Cruz , Marinduque. It is very easy for you to locate the store because it is located walking distance beside the church of the town. Moreover, the bakery is famous - any locals are aware if you ask where it is.

They are proud of their unique product. “We have Gluten Free, Low Sugar and highly digestible foods here” the sales lady said.  

Meanwhile, arrowroot is a starch obtained from the rhizomes (rootstock) of several tropical plants, traditionally Maranta arundinacea and the Province of Marinduque is abundant of that plant - they called it “Uraro" . Arrowroot tubers contain about 23% starch. “Madaming ganyan sa mga gubat, kinkuha lang namin yan, pero ngayon may taniman na. (In the forest area, arrowroot is wild and plenty plant and we just harvest it but there are now some plantations exist” a local said.  The starch has t been quite extensively adulterated with potato starch and other similar substances in creating cookies.

How to make Arrowroot cookies?

8 ounces butter

8 ounces rice flour

8 ounces superfine sugar

6 ounces arrowroot

6 eggs

Beat the butter to a cream.

Whisk the eggs to a strong froth.

Add them to the butter, stir in the flour a little at a time and beat the mixture well.

Break down all the lumps from the arrowroot and add it with the sugar to the other ingredients.

Mix all well together, drop the dough on a buttered tin, in pieces the size of a shilling.

Bake the biscuits about 15 minutes in a slow oven.

Time: 15 minutes.

Sufficient to make from 3 to 4 dozen biscuits.

“It melts in the mouth”, that’s how I defined the cookies. It was like eating the famous silvanas in Dumaguete City but the arrowroot cookies is not extremely sweet- tolerable for my taste bud. “Maganda to ipakain sa mga kaaway mo, tapos wag mong bigyan ng tubig (This is perfect treat for your enemy and don’t give water afterwards” Bonjo jokingly said. The cookies really require water to avoid being choked.

Japanese Corn in the Philippines: So Corny! So Sweet! So Cheesy!

The Delicious Sweetened Cheese Corn only in the Philippines 

I was walking from the gym going home when I noticed a street vendor. I asked him “Kuya Ano Tinda mo?” (Sir, what are you selling?). He answered me “Mais!”

Tansyong and His Sweetened Cheese Corn 

So I Bought an amount of P20, there were also P5 and P10 depending on your budget. So affordable, isn’t it?

So Corny!

Only in the Philippines, you can taste this kind of food. It’s a Boiled Corn, with cheese powder and sugar. Mixed in a plastic cup and served to the customer.

Undeniably, the Philippines is an agricultural country, we produced also corn. But I was wondering why is that the corn that I bought is too juicy and very tasty. Most of the Corn in the Philippines is not that delicious, coz that’s a feed-corn was cultured for hogs, well for human also.

Japanese Corn in Davao (Photos by Bob Martin )

As per my research, it’s Japanese corn. But the question is, are we importing corn from JAPAN for our consumption? Very Ironic, We import Corn and the selling price here is cheaper. How come?

I checked Google which leads me to the accurate answer. Japanese Corn is available in Davao as per Bob Martin (Publisher & Editor in Chief of the Live in the Philippines). “If you are in Davao, you can find this corn along Buhangin Road, along the south side of the road.  His store is about 750 meters from the Buhangin Underpass, toward the city.  I highly recommend this place if you like corn like I do!” He mentioned.

I was very thankful for Bob’s article since I'm planning to go to Davao, and another item was added to my list. P35/Kilo is worth a pasalubong.



So Sweet!

Mouthwatering Thingy 

When I started to taste the Sweetened Cheese Corn, I realized that Filipinos are really skillful in innovating products. From raw corn, we come up with this very tasteful food. The color of the cheese powder arouses my appetite to eat it and order another one. It was most delicious. The flavor and texture were outstanding.

Unfortunately, when I went out, the vendor already left.

So Cheesy!

I really love cheese, it adds up the foods to become mouthwatering. This is very nutritive, easy, and tasteful. Nutritive in a way that it is a popular food that’s known for its yellow color, its pleasant taste, and its unique ability to be eaten.

Here is the list of nutrients that you can get from eating Corn.
