7-1-2015 Food of the Day: Guso

Eucheuma or Guso prepared Ceviche-style with coconut vinegar, tomatoes, onions, ginger, and chili.
One of the most popular seaweeds that are part of the Cebuano diet is guso or Eucheuma.  The most common preparation for guso is kinilaw-style.  To make kinilaw na guso or enchiladang guso, the seaweed is first blanched for a few seconds in boiling water.  Vinegar, tomato, ginger, onion, and chili is then added to the guso. I always love guso since I was a little boy.  I spent a majority of my childhood at the coastal town of Jagna in Bohol and guso has always been my favorite.  I prefer it over lato, another type of seaweed.  I like guso because of its texture.  I can have an enjoyable lunch with just a cup of guso as viand.

How about you, do you have a favorite seaweed?

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. A Wish That Changed Everything Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Jake was given something powerful — not just an ex perience, but a reason to believe again. His wish? To experience life in aviation. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. Jake trained at a real flight school in Malaysia. He learned from professionals. He sat in a c ockpit not as a visitor, but as someone trusted to understand,...

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.
