Linagpang na Bangus

There’s an unwritten rule in the house – leftover fried fish will become cardillo while broiled fish becomes linagpang. While cardillo involves a more complicated process of making an egg-based broth for the fish, making linagpang is just easy as 1-2-3.  It has become quite a dish in the house as there’s no need to wait for leftover fishes – bangus in particular, in order to make linagpang.
Here's the recipe for Linagpang na Bangus

Ingredients
  • 1 whole bangus, sinugba/inihaw/broiled with skin on
  • 2 whole onions, sliced
  • 4 big tomatoes, sliced
  • Onion leaves (garnish)
  • Salt
  • 2-3 cups boiling/hot water
The suggested way of broiling bangus for linagpang - whole with skin on.
How to make Linagpang na Bangus
  1. Flake broiled bangus, into "bite size" pieces.
  2. Mix with onions and tomatoes.
  3. Add boiling water and "sort of mix with force to bring out the flavors and juices". 
  4. Season with salt and garnish with  onion leaves.
  5. Serve hot.
While this recipe is for bangus, other fishes can also be used like tilapia, catfish and other fishes that can be broiled with scales on.
Linagpang na Pantat (Catfish)
The recipe can be tweaked to suit your taste like adding chilies/siling labuyo for a spicy broth. Others also broil the tomatoes and onions before slicing them. Some recipes add guinamos to the broth and give it a saute before adding water and bringing it to a boil.

Valenciana: An Ilonggo all-time favorite

Mention Valenciana to the Ilonggos and they’ll instantly crave for this special dish. Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, birthdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".     Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's a simple recipe for  Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 1 cup plain rice (optional) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork or Beef    Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins (optional) 1 large ilonion, chopped 6 clo...

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth. Here's a recipe guide for a simple Pochero Ilonggo

Simple Bukayo

Bukayo is a native Filipino delicacy which is made mainly with coconut strips and sugar. There are two popular variants - moist and dry (also called bocarillo).  The former is typically made into toppings and fillings for suman latik and inday-inday, among others, though I just love eating it right from the container.  The latter is more candy type reminiscent of bandi, which takes a shape of its own and is more convenient to be eaten on the go. Both share almost the same recipe with some more or less tweaks to make the other. Here's a Recipe to make the Dry-type Bukayo. Ingredients 3 cups Young coconut meat, shredded 2 cups Muscovado Sugar, adjust 1/2 cup Coconut juice or plain water Vanilla extract Calamansi rind (optional) How to make Bukayo In a wok, place coconut juice or water and sugar then mix thoroughly. Adjust the amount of liquid so as to dissolve the sugar but not to runny.  Bring to boil then add coconut meat gradually to m...
