Traditional Filipino Food<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n If there is one distinct feature of Filipino culture, it would be love for Food \u2013 just about any kind. Considering the geographic diversity of the country, all kinds of fruits, vegetables, grains, and 2,000 species of fish can always land on a Filipino\u2019s table during meal time. So technically, traditional Filipino food is dependent on the location or region. Now, let\u2019s talk about me before you realize this is a Food Blog and not Geography Class… Lights\u2026Camera\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I am Bel \u2013 yes the voluptuous Bel of any feast since I am always in the kitchen assisting Lola (abuela, grandmother,\u00a0 ninuno<\/span><\/span>) whom we always referred to as Nanay. As Iv\u2019e said, flavors vary according to region so I learned to cook the Batanguena way. \u00a0 Batangas is a southern province maybe 2-3 hours away from Manila. \u00a0 Goodness, \u00a0I have learned to cook rigorously\u00a0sinaing na tambakol (tuna cooked slowly in salt, dried kamias and sometimes unripe mango), bulanglang (mixed freshly picked vegetables from our garden such as sitaw (string beans), calabasa (squash), patani (lima beans) and whatever there is on our garden boiled in Hugas bigas (water obtained from washing rice ) which is famous in Batangas. \u00a0 Definitely, \u00a0piece de resistance would be sumang magkayakap sa latik, burong mustasa and kapeng barako.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Instinctively, \u00a0I had a taste for good food but cultivated my skills when I got married to Darwin. \u00a0 Gotta feed the family with something that would make them long for \u00a0homemade food. \u00a0Incidentally, \u00a0a childhood friend and I also put up a restaurant named \u201cKikay Caf\u00e9\u201d in 2003 which caters to students, employees in nearby offices and med reps. \u00a0Who badly want a taste of home cooking. \u00a0 Last 2008, \u00a0we shifted into full time catering, \u00a0\u201cKubyertos Catering\u201d which is really a dream come true considering I was just full of uling ( coal) form my lola\u2019s kitchen way back then.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Today, \u00a0aside from cooking and trying new recipes, \u00a0I also love interior decorating and entertaining. \u00a0 We always host a party for our family, \u00a0relatives and friends. \u00a0 Our family is foodie people. \u00a0 I think there\u2019s a sub-culture for that as Homo sapiens.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n My favorite place is \u00a0Tanauan market, Tanauan Batangas to buy some of the freshest ingredients. \u00a0I guess, I also feel sentimental\u00a0 about puto, palaeros and the Pansit luglog which always remind me of my childhood days. Oh yes, before I forget\u2026WELCOME ! Indulge, enjoy and feel free to hang around!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Kubyertos Traditional Filipino Food If there is one distinct feature of Filipino culture, it would be love for Food \u2013 just about any kind.
