6-27-2015 Food of The Day: Saang

One of my favorite seashells is the Saang. Saang is Spider Shell or Lambis Scorpius. I like this shell grilled and I could probably finish at least 5 pieces for lunch.  I prefer the Saang over the smaller shells because it packs a lot of meat.  I sometimes get impatient when I tuse a safety pin to get the meat out of the smaller kinason (seashell).  It is way easier with saang, you get a fairly large amount of meat just using your hands.

One of the best places to east Saang is at the beach.  It is one of the beach outing foods for me. You can also buy grilled spider shells at seafood restaurants like AA Barbecue.

How about you? Do you eat seashells? What is your favorite?

Pungko Pungko - Cebuano Foodie Must-try

Image
You cannot say you are a Cebuano foodie until you partake and enjoy the offerings of your local Pungko-Pungko stall. Pungko means squat in the Cebuano language.  The Pungko-Pungko name was attached to vendors who walk to sell food and when they find interested eaters they usually look for a clean corner and squat or "pungko" to eat.  Now, most Pungko-Pungko suki do not need to look for their favorite vendor because there are now in many places in the city that are known for this type of "cuisine".  The popular hotspots for pungko-pungko are the stalls in the Fuente area at the back of Sampaguita Suites, Redemptorist Church Area near Foodarama, and Cebu Doctor's University area beside McDonald's.

Cebu Local Food: Mandaue's Bakagan

Image
I love exploring my city late at night to look for food.  In a way, I believe that in any city in the world some of the best local food comes past your bedtime.  While many are asleep, I am having an awesome food trip.  One of my recent discoveries is the super yummy Bakagan of Mandaue.  If you ask your well-to-do Cebuano foodie friends, what Bakagan is, the question will probably be returned to you.  Well, my short definition of Bakagan is that it is a soup dish made with the skull of the pig boiled for hours.  This dish is characterized by a gingery broth with pulled pork-like meat that is very tender.   Bakagan is perfect during the rainy season or after a drinking session.
