Ernest Hemingway once cited The Manila Hotel as “the perfect representation of the city, if not the country’s resilience, vitality, versatility and hospitality.” This certainly is true as the iconic Grand Dame not only evokes the prestige and nostalgia of the old city, but, as its current president Joey Lina put it, it also “is a repository of culture and history.” And one of the exciting…

NAPANGITI KA SA CHAT NI JENO AT TALAGANG GOOD MORNING NGA NAMAN TALAGA SA’YO.

jeno <3: good morning sinta! i’m off to church today dahil fiesta at magseserve ako ng dalawang misa, pupuntahan kita mamaya pagkatapos ng misa kasi may pinapadala sa’yo si mama.

jeno <3: don’t forget to eat kapag gising ka na ah, i love you! ❤️

fiesta ng barangay san vicente ngayon— ang isa sa pinakamalaking barangay sa siyudad kung saan kayo parehas nakatira. in honor of the said saint, maingay at masaya ang fiesta ng barangay niyo. lahat ng mga taong lumaki na dito ay palaging may sariling pasabog, may mga namimigay ng pera, may mga namimigay ng premyo tulad ng mga appliances, may mga namimigay ng pagkain, at marami pang iba. busy ang buong barangay taon-taon dahil dito sa fiesta na ito, kaso sayang dahil hindi sumali sa kaingayan ng barangay ang pamilya mo. wala kasi ang parents mo ngayon dito, bumisita sa mga tiyuhin mong bagong dating sa probinsya niyo.

hindi ka na sumama dahil may pasok ka pa at ayaw mo rin namang makita ang mga tito at tita mong judgmental kaya nagpaiwan ka dito. ilang araw ka na ring mag-isa at ilang araw pa bago sila makauwi kaya naman madalas kang bisitahin ni jeno na may dalang pagkain na luto ng mama niya. minsan nga ay dito pa ‘to natutulog sa inyo (balewala na rin naman ‘yun sa magulang niyo, tutal nasa tamang edad na rin naman daw kayo).

agad kang bumagon sa kama mo at dumiretso sa banyo, 10:30 na rin kasi at kanina pang alas sais ang chat ng nobyo mo, malamang sa malamang ay tapos na rin ang misa at iba pang ganap sa simbahan. dali-dali kang lumabas ng banyo at nagbalot ng bathrobe nung narinig mong bumusina ang kotse ni jeno, hindi ka pa tapos maligo pero lumabas ka agad kahit may tuwalya pang nakabalot sa ulo mo para pag buksan ng gate ito. bumaba ang nobyo mo sa kotse, may bitbit na ilang paper bag, ang sutana niyang nakahanger at nakangiti. tangina, ang pogi, sigaw ng utak mo. simpleng puting t-shirt, maong at itim na sapatos pero tangina bakit sobrang pogi? dagdag pogi points pa ‘yung relo at kwintas niyang krus na palagi niyang suot-suot at ayaw niyang tanggalin.

para iwas sa mga chismosa niyong kapitbahay, agad mong sinara ang gate at pinapasok si jeno sa loob ng bahay. nilapag niya ang mga paperbag sa dining table habang ikaw naman ay inayos ang sapatos niyang hinubad niya sa may sala. “sinta, come here. pakiss ako” tawag nito, agad ka namang lumapit sa kanya at ngumiti nung naramdaman mong pinagdikit niya ang labi niyong dalawa. “pasampay na rin pala muna ‘ko ng sutana ko dyan sa may sampayan niyo, baka kasi magusot sa kotse ko, may serve pa ‘ko mamaya. ang daming pinadala ni mama sa’yo kasi nag-text pala sa kanya si tita na hindi nga daw sila makakauwi ngayong fiesta, kaya ayan.” kwento niya, isa-isa niyang nilabas ang mga tupperware. pancit, kare-kare, barbecue, crispy pata, shanghai, morcon at tinadtad na lechon.

“babe, ang dami nito, mag-isa lang ako” tawa mo, “hindi pa nga ako nakakasaing eh, kakagising ko lang kasi”

naramdaman mo ang kamay ni jeno sa bewang mo at pinisil ito ng marahan, “hindi ka pa kumakain?” tanong nito, tumango ka naman at binuksan ang tupperware ng shanghai at kumuha ng isang piraso. kumagat ka ng kalahati at sinubo ang kalahati kay jeno, may kaliitan ito kaya naman nung sinubo mo ito sa bibig niya pati ang hinlalaki mo ay napunta sa bibig niya. nanlaki ang mata mo at kinindatan ka ni jeno, “sarap” ngisi nito, agad mo namang nilayo ang kamay mo sa kanya at bigla kang namutla, “ako na magsasaing tapos sabay na tayo ng kain, hindi pa rin ako kumakain eh kaya talagang pinasobrahan ko kay mama ‘yung pagkain”

“a-ah, okay sige, thank you” sabi mo, “ano, jeno, hindi pa ‘ko tapos maligo eh… dyan ka lang, maliligo lang ulit ako” agad kang bumalik sa loob ng banyo at naghubad ng bathrobe para ituloy ang pagligo mo. ano ‘yun? bakit ako na-turn on kanina? hindi mo na idedeny na na-turn on ka nung inut-ot ni jeno ang hinlalaki mo tapos kinindatan ka pa. nagiinit ka tuloy bigla kaya naman pinalitan mo ang setting ng heater niyo— sa pinaka-malamig na setting para mahimasmasan kahit konti. nakakainis talaga dahil sira ang linya ng tubig niyo sa banyo sa taas, kailangan mo tuloy tumawid sa sala para makapagbihis sa kwarto mo. huminga ka ng malalim bago buksan ang pinto, at nakita mong nasa sala si jeno, busy magcellphone kaya naman lalo mong binilisan ang paglalakad mo. tangina, nasaan ba kasi ‘yung tsinelas ko, baka madulas pa ‘ko isip mo.

“sinta, ingat, baka madulas ka” sabi ni jeno, hindi siya nakatingin sa’yo dahil ang atensyon niya ay nasa cellphone lang niya. “bihis ka na, kausap ko lang si father tungkol sa mga bagong sakristan”

agad kang tumakbo papunta sa taas at sinarado mo ang pinto ng kwarto mo, nakahinga ka ng malalim. may mga bagay naman na kayong ginagawa ni jeno, ilang beses na rin kayong nagsex pagkatapos niyang mag-serve sa simbahan pero bakit ibang iba ang pakiramdam ngayon? bakit ang lakas ng sex appeal niya ngayon? gawa ba ng buhok niya? gawa ba ng suot niya? hindi mo alam at parang nababaliw ka na dahil hindi mo malaman kung ano bang meron sa nobyo mo ngayon.

hindi ka agad nakapagbihis at nakabathrobe ka pa rin dahil inuna mo ang skincare mo, mukhang nainip na si jeno dahil narinig mong nagring ang cellphone mo kaya sinagot mo ito. “nasa baba ka lang, bakit ka tumatawag?” sagot mo habang naglalagay ng serum sa mukha.

“ang tagal mo mahal, naiinitan na ‘ko dito sa baba” sagot nito, ang tagal tagal niyo nang magkasintahan pero madalas nahihiya pa rin si jeno na magbukas ng kung anu-ano dito sa bahay niyo, “ayoko magbukas ng fan”

“hay nako jeno lee,” tawa mo, “akyat ka, naka-aircon ako”

he didn’t need to be told to twice, narinig mo na kumalabog ang hagdan and within seconds, kumatok siya sa pinto mo. pumasok siya na may ngiti sa mukha. “happy? dun ka sa kama ko, tatapusin ko lang ‘tong skincare ko” sabi mo habang nakatingin sa salamin, “sigurado ka pati na sa rice cooker ka nagsaing ha, baka masunog ‘yung bahay kung sa kalan ka nagsaing”

“eto napaka, malamang sa rice cooker ako nagsaing. sa rice cooker lang naman ako marunong magsaing eh” sagot nito, hindi sinunod ni jeno ang sinabi mo na umupo siya sa kama, instead he walked behind you and pulled his phone out of his pockets. “sinta, picture tayo” sabi niya, ngumiti ka at narinig mo ang shutter ng phone niya. agad niya itong nilagay sa lamesa mo at binabaan ang sarili para maipatong niya ang baba sa balikat mo. “sinta, ang ganda ganda mo na, hindi mo na kailangan nyan”

“‘wag mo nga ‘ko inuuto, jeno” asar mo, “bakit? ano pong kailangan mo, sir?”

“ikaw” sagot niya, “ikaw po ang kailangan ko, sinta” nanigas ka dahil bigla kang hinalikan at kinagat nito sa leeg at naramdaman mo ang kamay niya sa may bandang bewang mo, “pwede po ba?” bulong nito sa balat mong nilagyan niya ng marka. tumango ka kaya naman tumayo agad siya at lumipat sa kama mo, nakaupo lang siya dun at hinihintay kang tumayo mula sa upuan, pinapanood mong hubarin niya ang puting tshirt kasabay ng maong niya, naiwan ang boxers niya kaya naman napatayo ka na rin. paglapit mo sakanya, agad niyang tinanggal ang pagkakatali ng bathrobe mo, ang kamay niya ay nakapwesto sa likod mo at nilapit ka sa kanya. agad nahanap ng bibig niya ang dede mo kaya naman naitapon mo ang ulo mo patalikod. hinayaan ni jeno na umupo ka sa kandugan niya at siya na mismo ang nag-adjust ng pwesto niyong dalawa sa kama. ang likod niya ay nakasandal sa pader habang ikaw ay nakapatong sakanya at hinihila ang buhok niya.

“jeno…” ungol mo nang bigla niyang kagatin ang utong mo, agad niya itong dinilaan para maibsan ang sakit. “jeno, ang unfair mo naman eh, bakit nakaboxers ka pa tapos ako hubad na talaga?” angal mo, pinakawalan ni jeno ang dede mo at ngumiti. umalis ka sa kandungan niya at pinanood mo siyang hubarin ang boxers niya. his cock sprung free the moment he removed it, the tip is red and has pre-cum— naglalaway ka kaya naman napakagat labi ka. babalik ka sana sa kandungan niya pero sobrang tempting ng tite niya. “let me suck you off” sabi mo, ngumisi at tumango si jeno. pumwesto ka sa gilid niya at hinawakan ang matigas niyang ari, napasipol siya ng mababa nung umpisahan mong galawin ang kamay mo.

“putangina” mura ni jeno nung maramdaman niya ang dila mong pinaglalaruan ang ulo ng ari niya, napahawak ito sa ulo mo at humakot ng buhok. tumingin ka sa kanya at nakita mong nakapikit siya, nung tumama ang mata mo sa kwintas niya, agad mong iniwas ang tingin mo. sorry po, bakit po ba kasi ampogi ng sakristan mo? isip mo, “putangina y/n, ‘wag mong bilisan, gusto kong iputok sa loob mo ‘yan eh…” mahinhin niyang sabi nung bumibilis ang pag galaw ng ulo mo. naramdaman mong humigpit ang pagkakakapit niya sa buhok mo at tinamaan na ng ulo ng tite niya ang kadulu-duluhan ng bibig mo, naduduwal ka na kaya inalis mo ang bibig mo bago ibalik ang kamay mo sa ari niya. “fuck, baby, higa na please… gusto na kita tirahin” sabi ni jeno nung inangat mo ang sarili mo para halikan siya.

inayos mo ang sarili mo sa kama, nung nagtatanggal ka ng ilang unan, ginamit ni jeno ang tsansa na ‘yun para hatawin ang pwet mo ng ilang beses, napapangiti at ungol ka tuwing hinahaplos niya pagkatapos paluin. sinunggaban ka ng halik ni jeno nung nakahiga ka na, buti na lang at medyo tuyo na ang buhok mo dahil kakapalit mo lang ng punda ng unan mo. binuka ni jeno ang mga hita mo, hindi niya pinaghihiwalay ang mga labi niyo at naramdaman mo ang daliri niyang pinaglalaruan ang tinggil mo, napaungol ka nung bigla siyang magpasok ng dalawang daliri sa butas mo at mabilis ang paggalaw ng kamay niya. “jeno, jeno…!” ungol mo, ikaw na mismo ang tumapos ng pagkakahalik niya sa’yo dahil nararamdaman mo ang pagkuyom ng puke mo sa daliri niya.

napangisi si jeno at hinalikan ka sa noo, “ready, baby?” tanong nito at pumwesto sa gitna mo. nakatingin kayo pareho ni jeno sa baba, you watched how he ran his cock on your slit, pushing the tip in and pulling it out again— the reason why you kept on sucking air in. napahawak ka sa bisig ni jeno nung ipasok na niya ito nang dahan-dahan, inungol niyo ang pangalan ng isa’t isa at dahil may kahabaan ang kwintas ni jeno, nararamdaman mong tumatama ito sa baba mo kada bayo niya. opo, aware po ‘ko na bastos ‘yung ginagawa namin ni jeno, isip mo kada tama nito sa’yo. binaba ni jeno ang sarili niya palapit sa mukha mo at hinalikan ang pisngi mo, “baby, bibilisan ko ah… tell me if it’s too much,” paalala niya at muling inangat ang sarili niya sa’yo, mahigpit ang kapit niya sa balakang mo at ang sa umpisa ay mabagal, kalaunan ay bumibilis. sa sobrang bilis ng pagbayo ni jeno, nararamdaman mong umuuga ang kama mo, tumutunog na rin ito.

“fuck, jeno—!” you moaned loudly, feeling the tip of his cock poking your sweet spot. napahawak ka sa bedsheet mo, nagugusot ito dahil sa pagkakakuyom ng kamay mo dito. “jeno, baby, malapit na ‘ko!” banggit mo, dumidiin ang ulo mo sa unan mo, umarko na rin ang likod mo kaya binitawan ni jeno ang isang side ng balakang mo para hawakan ang dede mo. pinisil pisil ito ni jeno habang bumabayo ng mabilis. binalot mo ang hita mo sa balakang niya kaya lalong lumalim ang tite niya sa loob mo. isang malakas na ungol ang nilabas mo nung nilabasan ka na, hinihingal ka at tumitirik ang mga mata mo habang patuloy pa rin si jeno sa pagbayo.

jeno removed himself inside of you, scooped your back and adjusted your position, bumaba siya sa kama mo at tumayo habang nakahiga ka pa. napapikit ka nang biglang ipasok ulit ni jeno ang tite niya sa loob mo at bumayo muli. “malapit na ‘ko, baby” sabi niya, ang kamay niya ay pumulupot sa leeg mo. “sa loob?”

“mhm,” sagot mo, “s-sa loob, jeno”

ilang bayo pa bago labasan si jeno, inungol niya ang pangalan mo at naramdaman mong gumagalaw ang tite niya sa loob mo habang naglalabas ng tamod ito. paghigit ni jeno nito palabas, agad na rumagasa ang tamod niya palabas. napangiti naman siya kahit na hinihingal na rin. hinanap ng kamay niya ang kwintas, dinala ito sa labi niya at hinalikan bago tumabi sa’yo at takpan ang mga katawan niyo ng kumot. “lika dito, sinta” sabi niya at dahan-dahang hinigit ang nanghihina mong katawan papunta sa dibdib niya. nagtanim ng halik si jeno sa noo mo at hinahaplos ang likod mo, “pagod?”

“sobra” sagot mo, “i have a confession” sabi mo, pinatong mo ang baba mo sa dibdib niya, ang facial expression nito ay sinasabi na ituloy mo ang sasabihin mo, “naaano ‘ko sa kwintas mo, baby— i mean, i’m not asking you to remove it pero…”

“i know what you mean,” ngiti nito, “feels like god knows we’re doing filthy things ‘no?” tumango ka, agad kang hinalikan ni jeno, “don’t worry, may mga taong mas masahol pa ang ginagawa kesa satin”

“Siempre tenlo presente… entre más dura la prueba, mayor será la bendición”

Pío de Pietrelcina

Pío de Pretelcina, también conocido como Padre Pío, fue un fraile capuchino y sacerdote católico italiano nacido en Pietrelcina, Campania en mayo de 1887. Famoso por sus dones milagrosos y por los estigmas que presentaba en el costado, manos y pies.

Su familia era de clase humilde, trabajadora y muy devota, su infancia se caracterizó por ser de una salud frágil y enfermiza. Desde su niñez sufrió lo que el llamaba “encuentros demoniacos”, y sus vecinos y amigos constantemente lo veían peleando con lo que ellos afirmaban era su propia sombra.

Desde muy temprana edad, manifestó un deseo especial por el sacerdocio. Su padre tuvo que migrar hacia los Estados Unidos y posteriormente a Argentina para poder costear la educación de su hijo.

En 1903 a la edad de 15 años, fue aceptado como novicio en el convento de Morcone. La vida del noviciado era una vida difícil, llena de ayunos y mortificaciones que influyeron decisivamente en el carácter de Pío.

En enero de 1904, termina su noviciado y se traslada al convento de SantÉlia  para continuar con sus estudios. Es por esta época y en este convento en donde ocurre su primera bilocación (fenómeno paranormal en donde una misma persona aparece en dos lugares diferentes al mismo tiempo).

En enero de 1907, hace su profesión de votos solemnes y se traslada al convento de Serracapriola, perjudicando su salud, por lo que sus superiores lo regresan a Pietrelcina, en donde la gente de su pueblo confiaba en él y le pedia consejo.

En agosto de 1910, fue consagrado sacerdote en la catedral de Benevento, pero permanece con su familia derivado de sus problemas de salud.

Sin duda alguna lo que hace más famoso al Padre Pío, es la aparición de estigmas muy dolorosas en manos pies y costados, las cuales ocurrieron desde septiembre de 1918 hasta septiembre de 1968. La noticia de que el padre Pío tenia los estigmas, hizo que miles de personas acudieran a la iglesia de Giovanni Rotondo para verle y besarle las manos, confesarse y presenciar sus misas.

La Santa sede, envió un comunicado argumentando que sus estigmas tenían un origen neurótico, haciendo constar que no se constataba sobrenaturalidad en los hechos, por parte del Santo Oficio.

En los años siguientes, hubo otros 3 decretos en donde el último, prohibía las visitas al Padre Pío o mantener alguna relación con él. Es por esta causa que el Padre Pío pasa 10 años de 1923 a 1933 aislado completamente del mundo exterior.

El padre Pío fue objeto de numerosas investigaciones, hasta que en 1933 las cosas comenzaron a cambiar, ordenando el papa Pio XII se revirtiera la prohibición de la celebración de misas del padre, argumentando que no tenía una mala disposición hacia él, sino que había sido mal informado y animó a los devotos a visitarlo.

Fue hasta después de 30 años, que el entonces papa Juan XXIII prohibe nuevamente su participación como sacerdote, y en julio de 1960, bajo una investigación del arzobispo de Ancona, Carlo Maccari, lo acusa equivocadamente de tener relaciones sexuales.

Tras la muerte del papa Juan XXIII el papa Pablo VI rechazó las acusaciones y devolvió oficialmente la libertad en su ministerio, concediéndole el indulto para celebrar misas.

Al padre Pío además de sus estigmas se le atribuyen facultades extraordinarias como la capacidad de leer conciencias y almas, curas milagrosas mediante la oración, la facultad de estar en dos lugares al mismo tiempo, el don de apariciones y de profecía.

En junio de 2002, el papa Juan Pablo II proclama santo en el Vaticano al padre Pío, haciendo público el hecho de que alguna vez había sido confesado por él, y algunas fuentes inclusive dicen que le había vaticinado el papado.

What Defines Filipino Food?

What defines "Filipino food"? Some misguided purists argue that true Filipino cuisine comprises only dishes eaten by locals before the influx of foreign influences. However, our history is far more intricate than just the pre-colonial era. It's a rich tapestry woven from pre-colonial, colonial, and external influences. Philippine cuisine is as diverse as our islands.

If we were to apply the logic that authentic Filipino food is solely native to our land, then Italian cuisine couldn't claim many of its dishes because the tomato, a staple ingredient, is not indigenous to Italy. The truth is, the majority of cuisines worldwide borrow, exchange, and adapt elements from other cultures.

The Philippines, situated in a strategically significant location, has a long history of interaction with traders, colonizers, refugees, and neighboring countries. From these interactions, we assimilate aspects of their culture, a process known as indigenization. What starts as foreign can become truly Filipino when embraced by locals. Numerous examples of indigenization exist in Philippine cuisine.

Perhaps the most famous example of indigenization is Filipino Spaghetti. Its distinct sweetness is far from that of Italian spaghetti. We use sweet-style tomato sauce or the more local banana ketchup, which is also an example of indigenization (replacing tomatoes with bananas).

There are more cases of indigenization. Take champorado, for instance. In Mexico, it's known as "champurrado," a hot beverage made from chocolate and masa de maiz. Filipinos transformed the Mexican champurrado, which was introduced via Manila-Acapulco galleon trade, into Philippine champorado by replacing corn with glutinous rice, creating a sweet chocolate rice porridge. In return, we shared our knowledge of tuba making and varieties of mangoes with Mexico.

Another example is avocado, an introduced species, regarded as a dessert fruit by Filipinos. It's often eaten with milk and sugar or added to ice cream, ice candies, and shakes—a contrast to its use in savory dishes in the Americas.

In Palawan, chao long, a localized version of Vietnamese pho, was introduced by refugees from Vietnam after the fall of Saigon. Adapted to suit local tastes, this soup boasts a hint of sweetness and is served with a localized version of Vietnamese Banh mi known as 'French bread', sourced from local panaderias.

In Sulu, Zamboanga, and other parts of Mindanao, satti, a skewered grilled meat dish, is our local take on satay or sate, influenced by neighboring Southeast Asian countries. Unlike the traditional peanut sauce served with satay, ours comes with a thick, spicy orange sauce.

Chinese influence permeates our culture, evident in our celebration of Chinese New Year as a national holiday, portrayal in popular media, and a significant portion of the population with Chinese ancestry. If I may add, did you know that chopsticks, which we traditionally call "sipit," were used by locals long ago; it's not a recent fad.

One of many Chinese influences on our cuisine is the introduction of noodles. Since then, noodle dishes have undergone a remarkable evolution, giving rise to diverse regional variations that incorporate locally available ingredients.

For example, Malabon boasts pancit malabon, renowned for its seafood toppings, reflecting the area's abundance of marine resources. In Quezon Province, a leading coconut producer, locals enjoy pancit buko, a unique creation that substitutes young strips of coconut meat for noodles. There are more pancits like pancit pusit, pancit dinuguan, pancit habhab, pancit cabagan, pancit puti, and others . We've crafted numerous exceptionally unique variations that would likely be unrecognizable to a native of China.

While we actually have pre-colonial dishes like kinilaw and budbod kabog, it's crucial to recognize that dishes like morcon, empanadas, and lumpia, though influenced by foreign cultures, are also Filipino. These foods are intertwined in our culture and cherished as part of our collective memory and shared heritage. They are part of our birthdays, weddings, diet, sold in our markets, or perhaps a specialty of our beloved mothers. They are undeniably Filipino. -John Sherwin Felix (Facebook Post, April 4, 2024)

Wonderful Paradise: Discovering the Diverse Tapestry of Filipino Foods on Your First Trip to the Philippines"

One of the best places in the world for foodie travel is the Philippines. By exploring the country, you can taste the many cuisines that are offered on every island. Although a lot of visitors come to the Philippines to view its stunning islands and internationally recognized beaches, the nation's more than 7000 islands offer an incredibly varied food experience encounter. The people, history, and culture of a region, city, or island are reflected in each dish in Filipino cuisine. A component of visiting the Philippines as a tourist includes sampling local cuisine and doing culinary tours. Your taste buds will be stimulated, and you'll also learn more about Filipino culture. Every area of the nation has a unique cuisine. Despite the fact that some of them are the same, the places usually have twists and changes! The top cuisine locations in the nation are listed below, and you should include them in your itinerary:

In addition to being the location of the magnificent Mayon Volcano, Bicol has become known for its unique use of coconut and chiles in Filipino cuisine across the nation. The most well-known food item associated with Bicol is the Bicol Express. This stew with coconut milk is made with either sautéed shrimp or pork chunks, chiles, and shrimp paste. Another delicacy is kinunot, a coconut-based dish made with stingray, shark flesh, and malunggay leaves. Remember to consume some pili nuts or their derivatives. The typical Bicolano snack is this nut, which is harvested from a tree of the same name. Second, Cebu has established a name for itself in the culinary world. The traditional Cebuano food is lechon. Lechon is available all throughout the country, but Cebu's version is definitely worth trying! Sutukil—a a acronym of the words "sugba" (grill), "tula" (stew), and "kilawin"—is a well-liked culinary experience (soaked in vinegar). One can find Sutukil restaurants throughout the province. Other Cebuano dishes to sample include pochero (beef soup similar to bulalo), kinilaw (fish ceviche), and utan (leafy green and root vegetables cooked in salted water). Third, Pampanga is approximately a few hours' drive from Metro Manila. The province has been named the Culinary Capital of the Philippines since it is home to some of the country's best culinary legends and mouthwatering native specialties. Morcon never misses a family or community event. This recipe calls for wrapping ground beef and pork, chorizo sausages, onions, eggs, raisins, and cheese in pig's caul fat. Sisig is another traditional Pampanga dish that is a must-try on Pampanga vacations and has received widespread praise. If you're a gourmet, these attractions in the Philippines will grab your interest and spark your creativity.

Southeast Asian Cuisine: Culinary Delights

Let’s go on a journey through Southeast Asian Cuisine, where each dish tells a story of tradition and flavor. This guide unveils the culinary treasures of Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and beyond. Southeast Asia serves hundreds of culinary delights for those wanting to try new foods and experience different tastes. Exploring the diverse cuisine in Southeast Asia allows people to better understand the history and people of the region. So, if you’re considering visiting the area any time soon, there are certain dishes you certainly will want to take advantage of! Let’s jump in and look at the highlights of some of the essential dishes in the region.

A Foodie’s Journey Through Southeast Asian Cuisine

Indonesia 

Indonesian cuisine is less famous than other regions like Thailand or China internationally (a situation the Economist attributes to varying factors like politics and prejudice). But there are incredible dishes using rich, flavorful ingredients and spices. An Indonesian staple is rice. It may be served steamed, slightly cooked, or wrapped in leaves. Other popular foods include soup, noodles, and dishes like Nasi Goreng and Rendang.

Rendang is a traditional Indonesian dish originating from Padang. It consists of tenderized beef marinated in coconut milk and traditional species. It certainly is a favorite among people visiting the region. Other notable mentions include satay lilit in Bali. This is a grilled minced meat dish seasoned with chili, lime, and lemongrass. Siomay, a street snack consisting of fish dumplings, sliced potatoes, cabbage, and tofu, topped with a tasty peanut sauce is also great.

The Philippines

Filipino cuisine is more like a fusion of various cultures and influences from Malay, China, and Spain. Some of the more popular choices for those visiting the region include Lechon (roast pig), a staple in Cebu. Don’t miss out on chicken inasal (a charcoal-grilled chicken dish). If you have the chance, enjoy the authentic version in Bacolod. Other tasty meals include adobo (which is marinated meat), and morcon (made from beef, poor, sausages, onions and eggs).

If you’re visiting Davao, take advantage of the opportunities to try durian. There’s also numerous varieties of durian fruit (consisting of candies, cake, flavored coffee, and more). If you are looking for a new taste sensation, the Philippines is definitely the right choice for you.

Southeast Asian Cuisine – Thailand 

The history of Thai food interweaves ingredients and cooking methods from various cultures. The result is a culinary experience that attracts people from around the world. If you’re looking to participate in it, Thai street food is a perfect choice. While visiting, definitely don’t miss out on the roadside stalls where you can try out some delicious options like moo ping (grilled pork), tom yum goong (hot and sour shrimp), Khao man gai (chicken and rice), Khao niao mamuang (sticky rice), grilled skewers and Pad Thai. Head out early in the morning if you want a comforting bowl of jok, a rice porridge featuring pork topped with ginger and onions. Street food allows for a truly immersive experience for those visiting Thailand and wanting to get a unique taste of their culture. 

If you want to explore Thailand, remember that each city and region features something unique. In Chiang Mai, stop and enjoy Khao Soi, a curry soup made with coconut milk served over egg noodles and topped with layered crispy fried noodles. Heading to Northeastern Thailand? Try Som Tam, a mash of tasty vegetables, Larb, and Nam Toke, and salads of meat, rice, lime, and fish sauce. Staying in the central region of Thailand? Well, many describe Bangkok as a “”food lover’s paradise, ” so don’t miss out on everything the city has to offer. If you’re heading South to the beautiful islands, try Sataw (prawns with a unique flavor), Massaman curry, or Khua Kling.

Vietnam

Southeast Asian Cuisine and Vietnam! If you’re traveling in Vietnam, you’ll encounter a range of dishes and flavors that change from North to South. Those in Sagon enjoy bánh xèo (crispy pancakes) rolled with greens and dipped in sweet-and-sour fish sauce, while Hai An Cao Lau noodles are a popular snack. Don’t miss out on the fantastic street food options like banh mi (a sandwich featuring pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, pork belly, pork floss, and cucumber) or pho (featuring flat rice noodles with beef or chicken cooked in a hearty stock, spiced with clove, and cinnamon and anise). 

Bánh Xèo, emerging from the Mekong Delta and popular in south and central Vietnam, features a batter made from coconut milk and rice. The filling contains pork, bean sprouts, and shrimp. If you still have room, try Che, a dessert sometimes served hot or cold and topped with fruits like bananas and longan. The unique combination of sauces, herbs, and spices creates a memorable experience that captures Vietnamese cuisine.

Singapore

We have to talk about Singapore if we are talking about Southeast Asian Cuisine. Singapore’s cuisine combines influences from China, Malay, and India. Some staples include Hainanese chicken rice and chili crab. Suppose you’re looking to check out some fine dining. In that case, several Michelin-star regional restaurants offer a promising taste sensation.

Laos

Laos’ amazing scenery and deep cultural legacy makes it a popular choice. The food is also worth trying out. Laotian cuisine is not as well known in the West. The dishes may seem simple, but it’s quite flavorful, frequently combining fermented pork and fish with chilies and fresh herbs (think mint, cilantro, makrut lime leaf, ginger, garlic, etc.).

Cambodia

When we talk about Southeast Asian Cuisine, we have to talk about Cambodia. The use of different herbs and spices, together with the addition of tropical fruits from the area, define the cuisine. The region’s most popular dishes include lok lak, a stir-fried beef dish; fish amok, which is fish made with banana leaves; and amok, a stew made with kroeung and fresh coconut milk. The cuisine of the area combines a variety of tastes, from spicy to sweet, to produce a flavor profile that is sure to please. You might want to try kangkep baob if you’re feeling more daring. It’s a frog that’s been roasted over hot coals packed with peanuts, chiles, pork, and different spices like garlic and lemongrass.

Sinta

Indang is never gonna be the same without Inang Sinta's RBF and red nails, especially on summer's pistang bayan.

The RBF and the red nails are passed down from my Inang Sinta, the mom of mother dragon. Whenever it's pista during May, these ladies headlock a lot. LOL. Mother Dragon never fails to come home and get her OCD in full throttle. Sinta never budged. Watching them argue is much like seeing me and mom engage in a laughable disagreement. However, mom told me that what separates her mothering from that of her mother's mothering is this: Sinta is so selfish and mom is so selfless. I laughed so many times when mom shared this bit. My mom is a daddy's girl and I did get the reason why Sinta tended to be jealous of their dynamics. Mom and Sinta looked too alike: white hair, RBF, short, big boobs, great legs. Para silang pinagbiyak na atis. Atis and guyabano are their favorite fruits, too. Their tone and their stature (aka angas and sungit) are the same, too.

The redeeming factor of Sinta is that she cooks really, really, really well. Mom was nowhere near Sinta's cooking prowess. How well did Sinta cook? She's requested by a good number of ka-barrio and kabilang ka-barrio to cook. She didn't charge since she had pension from my Amang Pio, my departed lolo, a war veteran. She did the cooking very meticulously, almost OC. Hahahaha. I grew up watching her cook her staples: menudo, mechado, caldereta, atchara and the like; but what I liked best are her versions of ube halaya and morcon. Damn. That combo still haunts me beautifully and wala pa akong natikman na anywhere near her versions of these two.

Sinta's ube halaya is pure ube. Almost black. She does this by hand. JUSQ. Pahirap kung pahirap siya sa sarili. She filled fish-shaped big ass plates with margarine at the bottom then slapped smooth, chewy ube. Ansarap talaga. Kunat level na kakapit sa gilagid mo and would just melt. 'Yung morcon, wild. 'Yung sarsa ang game-changer. Sarsa pa lang, ulam na. 'Yung pagkatali niya, sobrang ganda. 'Yung meat niya and stuffing sobrang legit. Basta. Ansarap. 'Di ko siya maexplain pero even the expensive and lutong-bahay versions of morcon I've tested are no match. Baka sa Spain na lang ma-test? CHOZ. LUH.

Sinta is super sungit na lola pero 'pag naglambing, iba rin naman. LOL. She gifted me with pakimkim 'pag nanalo siya sa sugal, her favorite pastime. Of course, mother dragon abhors all forms of sugal since forever, kaya, syempre, mom will lash out on me whenever she discovered I accepted Sinta's pakimkim. There'd be times when she'd shove the pakimkim on Sinta's tukador. Que horror, senyor!

Sinta never failed to feed me good food when I'm in her humble home. All out kung all out because we're rarely visiting. Whenever she gets her nails painted in red, I watch her face soften and smile a small smile. She asked me one time during my toddler year if I wanted to get red nails. Syempre, I said yes. And poof. Galit woman na naman mother dragon ko. Hahahaha. Minsan talaga, ina-agit ko lang nanay ko para makita ko sila mag-daragan ng nanay niya kasi sobrang petty talaga nila mag-headlock most of the time. LOL.

What's funny though is that, mom had red nails most of her life if not nude, brown or deep purple. After my first red nails, mother dragon allowed me to get colored nails na rin since she's a fan din naman talaga. LOL. Ayus 'to e. Naglalaba pero naka-manicure na siya malimit nagma-manicure sa sarili niya e. I wondered how she was able to squeeze that in her busy schedule, honestly.

Sinta's rare touch, smiles and laughs made me see that after all, she's human. She just had such a strong head and super square shoulder. When she got sick during her 70+ years, I saw how mom felt so low. She didn't cry, but I witnessed how she truly cared for her mom. She told me that Sinta is not getting any better and that her mom is the ultimate pasaway na takas ng takas sa lahat. She rarely went on check ups kasi gastos lang daw. True naman 'yun, but mom tried her best to provide. Ayaw kasi ipagalaw ni Sinta 'yung pension niya because sugal is lifer. For the record, sugal ni Sinta is just basic. LOL. Pero high roller din 'to e. Maybe that's the reason why I suck even in Lucky Nine or Ungguyan. I don't even know how to play Poker but I remember enjoying mahjong with my cousins sa side ni dad. Syempre, galit woman na naman nanay ko, kaya tinigilan ko na kahit wala namang pustahan involved.

Sinta eventually weakened and during her last summer which falls under pista sa barrio namin sa Indang, she got her nails painted in red. She even had her short hair shaped so well. I love her super white hair. As in. Mom ko kasi, white and black na she called salt and pepper hair color. Sinta prettified herself and was down with fever which is out of her character. Pista is her A-game season talaga; so I knew something was so wrong. I waited patiently for her to recover and bounce back since she got a big pig that was being slaughtered sa bakuran namin. I waited a bit more and was called by one of my cousins. I was surprised to see Sinta breathing her last breaths that summer morning. I was in grade school then, I think, if not Prep.

I didn't even get the memo that I'd be part of this scene. Mom hugged me tightly, but she never covered or shielded my eye. Medyo masakit 'yung yakap niya or baka 'di lang ako sanay that my Taurus mom is hugging me. Hahahaha. Kidding aside, I was in shock. Nasa morcon and ube halaya A-game season ni Sinta pa ako e. I saw Sinta's chest fall and never rise again. I touched her wrinkled arms and felt its coldness. She didn't move. She didn't budge. Her face was RBF and peaceful.

Mom didn't cry much except for the time when she was up in the pulpit as she was the spokesperson of the family. Aba. Nag-buckle si accla. I was so surprised because mom rarely cried talaga during this era. Dad waited for her to come down and comforted mom. Hihihihihihi. Gulat man din dad ko e. 'Di raw niya expected mag-buckle mom ko. LOL. Strong and independent kasi talaga siya. As in.

Mom confessed that she loved Sinta so much from a distance. She told me that if she could turn back time, she'd drag her mother to the doctor and watch her down her meds. Sinta loved to skip her med time. Hahahaha. Very Sinta. Mom felt that she didn't take care of Sinta well enough. I told her that she did her best even if her best wasn't good enough. Again, grade school ako nito. LOL. I didn't grow up kasi na may baby talk e. I told her that Sinta is too tough, too childish, too picky, too sneaky. Ganun talaga.

Sinta is never a villain in my book. I actually love her talaga from a safe distance, too. Takot ako mapalo or mapagalitan e. Ganun vibe niya, pero she really has a soft side that I can't unsee. I love Sinta and the reason why I'm trying to slay my silver hair is because I want her and mother dragon's mothering to be with me, syempre, tanggal 'yung toxic vibes sa bit na 'to in as much as I can. I'm getting more and more white hair these days, but honestly, ambagal. Sinta's white hair was with her since baby ako. Mom's super nice black and white hair was with her mga 40s siya, so sa Piandre na lang muna tayo magtitiwala at magtatawid ng ganitong kulay na 'di madaling ma-achieve.

These two un-gentle women in my life are my sheroes. <3 They're messy, wild and weird. However, they have this signature way of making me feel loved talaga. I know that I can call both of them home. Perhaps, 'yung pinnacle ng dynamics or relationship naming three was when I had this lucid dream where mother dragon, Sinta ang my Lola Tanting and Lola Tipay are at the back of an SUV. Nasa driver's seat ako. LOL. I saw them all from the rear view mirror. Sobrang RBF smiles sila and looked at me as though they don't give a fuck. This lucid dream happened during the time when mom died and I was asking God if happy na mom ko. LOL. Ayun. Ang sakit at ang sagad ng sagot. I needed that solid answer talaga. Hirap lang.

My attempt to cook is actually me missing Sinta and mother dragon and our mutual weirdness. :D I can never be as good as Sinta sa kitchen, but, I'm kinda decent. Tamad lang maghugas ng pinaglutuan. LOL.

Actually, I was asked yesterday about my grey hair. If sadya ba or not; kaya naisip ko si Sinta. LOL. May this season of grey hair be one that would allow me to inch forward more and more. May this season also be a celebration of vulnerability and true love that comes from within. LUH. Hahahaha. Soft yarn with red nails and baon na may times na akala mo may pista? I guess, it's a yes kahit 'di halata. :p Unti-unti.

My 4th nak-anakans, favorite band ever is in the PL today though Ariana is looping like crazy because I miss her a lot. Can't wait for Wicked even when she's in the middle of a "cheating" chizmiz which I hope is but a PR ploy.
