I Missed it, Food is Happiness!
They said, foods are happiness. For me, I'm totally agree with it. Food is my happiness but it's also depend of a person. Some are fond eating foods but there are some are not also. I am a foodie lover ever since. I love to try new recipes. I love to try the foods that new in my eyes.
This article, I want to share the foods that I want to eat. I missed already our province because there are a lot of foods I want to eat already. I missed it a lot!
Let's start!
• Grilled Squid
This is one of my favorite when I was in our province, we have a neighbor and his work was catching a squids during night then he would came back in the morning already. Everytime he has a squids, my mom always bought a squid from him. Mom sometimes grilled the squids. It's really delicious. It's perfect viand.
Now I am here in the city, it's been a long time I didn't eat grilled squid. I missed it already. I missed eating squid especially in our home with my family. It's really perfect especially if there is a spicy sauce too. I wish I can travel home so that I can eat it again.
• Kinilaw na Isda
This is what we called "Kinilaw" in our province. I don't know what's the English of it. I'm sorry. It's a fish. You will add some vinegar, onions, ginger, calamansi and salt. It's really satisfying too. I love this one if we have an outing at the beach. Kinilaw is the best viand. It's perfect for beach time.
I always eat it everytime we have a celebration like birthdays and we spent it into a beach. Kinilaw is always there because it's my aunt favorite also. She love Kinilaw a lot. I missed it already!
Everytime we have an outing with my batchmates too, we have always a kinilaw. It's their favorite also. It's perfect for rice. They were always suggested it. The outing wasn't complete if there was no kinilaw.
Now, I want to have a vacation in our province because my family, relatives and friends love this kind of food. It's better if the fish is also fresh from the sea. It's the perfect time for kinilaw!
• Balut
I love it so much! I remember when I was in second year college I saw my sisters that they were eating balut but that time I never tried balut. My sister insisted me to eat even one but I refused it.
Until it was weekend, I travelled home and it was already evening when I arrived home already then my sisters eating dinner that's why I eat also because I felt hungry already because of the travel. After we ate they get some balut, they insisted me to try it because they said it's really delicious. I decided to have a try on it.
When I ate it, oh my! I said it to myself that it was really yummy. It was the time I started became addicted with the balut. I missed it already! The last time I ate balut was year 2020 with my workmates in Cebu City. Now when I am here in Manila I don't have time to buy a balut and I don't know also where it is and I'm scared if I buy somewhere I didn't know.
• Maja Blanca
Ever since when I was a kid this is my favorite! The Maja Blanca! It's really delicious. When I was an elementary I always buy a Maja in the store as my snacks especially if there is a corn. It's perfect to me! Maja Blanca is the best!
I remember when I was in highschool, we have a subject that cooking was included. We divided by our teacher into groups then it's up to us if what are we going to cook. I suggested that time for Maja Blanca and I was really glad because they agreed on it also.
I was thankful also because we have a member in our group that she knows how to cook a Maja Blanca because she was always helping her mother while making a Maja Blanca. After we've done, we ate together and glad we make it especially the member who lead us.
Now, I want to eat a Maja Blanca! I missed it already especially if it is cold! It's super satisfying!
There will be a part 2 with this article.

Oh the foods are great. I was curious what balut is made of? I have never eaten squid, but it must be delicious, because I know many who are interested in it.
