Food Trip!!!

Food Trip!!!



Nina's Fried Itik
San Jose, Plaridel, Bulacan

Fried Itik, Inihaw na Tilapia, Inihaw na Pusit, Inihaw na Liempo and Kinilaw na Tanigue. OK, Uncle went on an Inihaw overdrive!!! Meron ng lahat ng ito sa California pero sabi nya di kasing sarap ng luto dito sa atin!


After lunch scene...did I say that just get to Nina's we have to drive for at least 20 minutes from Plaridel proper? Yep it's out of the way with no public transpo available except if you pay Manong Tricycle extra for the special trip. But for the itik alone....it's so worth the trip.



Ka Resty's Special Bibingka
Baliuag, Bulacan, infront of Baliuag Church

Ka Resty's Special Bibingka and Free Tsaa (tea made of Pandan and Avocado Leaves) Yummy!!!
Ka Resty's is located in front of Baliuag Church. They have a stall in the Plaza fronting the church. They cook their bibingka and Tsaa the traditional way. I LOVE their tea....a nice ending to a really filling and satisfying meal!

(We went to baliuag church right after we hit Nina's for lunch so just imagine how full we are. That tea was a real saving grace and the Manong who served our orders was quite generous to give us extra tea to go with our take out order)





Food Cart (Name I did not bother to remember!)
MRT Station

Tito Mike has been craving for tukneneng since the day he arrived, so despite fair warning from his wife not eat anything that is bad for his cholesterol (and waistline!) he gave in to temptation as soon as he saw a foodcart selling some tukneneng (quail eggs in batter) the cart was located on an MRT station and looks clean enough for me that I did not stop him when he said he wants some. Here is waiting for his order.

Because he is my favorite Uncle and care for his health I split everything with him (except for the bill..hehehe!) the eggs looks nice...but the taste? let's just say it's not that good, the tuknenengs sold by the Manong on the street taste much better!

Church Hopping!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I played tourist guide to an uncle who came visiting from California. Since he only has time to do day trips, we ended up improvising by doing some DIY day trips. We visited churches, sampled local foods, visited churches, visited local museums and did I say we visited Churches....yep ...8 Churches in 2 weeks with bit of food tripping mixed in.

So here goes.....
Baliuag Church
Baliuag, Bulacan

Saint James Church
PLaridel, Bulacan


Baraosaoin Church
Malolos, Bulacan

Quiapo Church
Quiapo, Manila


Manaoag Church
Manaoag, Pangasinan

I was not able to get pictures of St. Jude and Baclaran Church.

Next .....food trip galore and some museum stops.....
