LP: Almusal

Masarap ang aming almusal nang pumunta kami sa Sorsogon noong nakaraang Marso. Espesyal ang aming pagkain dahil galing ito sa gobernador at sya rin mismo ang naghatid ng mga ito sa aming otel.

Ang nilagang kamote, biko at isda ang mga pagkaing galing sa lugar na iyon. Ang longganisa naman ay galing sa Iloko.

Parang gusto kong kumain uli ng mga ganito, lalo na ang isda na preska at ibinilad ng isang araw lamang. Walang mga ganyang pagkain dito. Hahanap na lang ako ng medyo pareho pero iba talaga ang sariling atin!

Marami pang mga kuwentong almusal doon sa
Litratong Pinoy.

Do you fancy any of these?

A few weeks ago we went to the Agricultural Fair at Kasetsart University Kampangsaen Campus, Nakhon Pathom. Key was so excited to show me around as he was part of the organizing group for his faculty. It was kind of nice to be with people and to see many nice things, such as orchids, fish and other aquatic animals, vegetables, and many varieties of plants. It took us about 2 hours to get there as we stopped along the way for breakfast. We had a Thai style breakfast at one of the popular local restaurants. What I had was so different from the ones I usually have in the office.

The orchids were so pretty and I was quite tempted to buy a few but then I was thinking that what happens after the flowers are gone? Although some have bulbs ready to bloom but I do not have the skill and time to take care of them. I remember buying them before and after a few months I had to give them away to friends who are better at taking care of orchids. So I resisted the temptation despite the fact that the colors were so attractive.

Of course we spent more time at the Fisheries booth. The main attraction was the whale shark made from fiberglass material. They had to transport this from the Fisheries Museum in Bangkhen-Bangkok campus where it is normally displayed. Nearly every visitor wanted to take photo of the shark as well as to pose with it. I also did the same as hey, I've never seen the real one. Gotta go to Donsol, Sorsogon for that where they have a Whale Shark Ecotourism Program. I had to wait for my turn, of course as there was a small queue forming. There were other samples of fish and aquatic organisms which were preserved from the real ones.

At the fair, after moving around the booths we went to see the food stalls. They were selling all kinds of food stuff. Some familiar ones and some not so familiar ones. Do you fancy any of these crispy creatures for your snack? Maybe down it with some ice cold pop soda? This is a delicacy here and now they are being packed in cans so anyone can take them anywhere. I did not dare to try to eat them. Would you? Or have you tried them before?
