6-26-2015 Food of the Day: Sha-e and other delicious innards

Cebuanos love lechon and I think there are countless of pigs that get slaughtered for this.  There was a time I was wondering what do they do with the innards? At first I thought lechon makers just make dinuguan (blood stew) and put everything on it.  Recently, I bought lechon in Talisay and saw that aside from dinuguan, the store sells some fried innards.  Locally, we call it sha-e, ginabot, atay,  and tungol. Intestines, liver, pancreas, and other internal organs are cooked in their oil to become a popular fare for lunch or pulutan. It's cheap and gives a lot of calories, it is not really a stretch why many people love this.  I may not eat this every day, but I really enjoy to have this once in a while.

Best Restaurants in Cebu: The Weekend

Image
One of the first ever favorite restaurants of Kalami Cebu was Carnivore in The Gallery, Mabolo .  I was so impressed with the Cebuano chefs who managed it because they were not afraid to innovate and use some advanced cooking methods.  Too bad, they closed down already.  I really missed the meat dishes of Kurt Famador and company.  I was hoping to see more Cebuano culinary talents to step up their game and compete with the "big boys" of the local restaurant scene.  Then, The Weekend happened!  As #TheWeekendPH turns 1, I do believe that Chef Jan Rodriguez took the cudgels of becoming the benchmark of an excellent local restaurant.

When a Wish Took Flight: Jake Adonis Sibial’s Story of Hope

Image
Jake Adonis Sibial grew up in Danao City with a clear picture of who he wanted to become. Aviation fascinated him. The skies felt like a possibility. But at sixteen, life interrupted that path in  the most unexpected way. Jake was diagnosed with leukemia. For any teenager, that kind of news can feel overwhelming — a sudden pause on plans, school, an d the future itself. Hospital rooms replaced classrooms. Treatments replaced routines. And for a while, everything else faded into the background except one thing: survival. Yet even in the hardest moments, hope found a way in.
