Heavenly Food

Above, Daing na Bangus served with pickled vegetables, upland rice and bagoong in Cafe by the Ruins in Baguio City. Check that place out.

I was in California last weekend to visit with relatives in San Jose. We had a blast eating every lunchtime and dinner during those three days as we celebrated three graduations, a birthday, and several welcome dinners for an uncle visiting from the Philippines. Oh how I enjoyed Higado, a favorite Ilocano food and I had to ask an aunt to reserve some for me to bring back to Phoenix.

Heading back to Phoenix, I handcarried a big bunch of Kangkong! I got strange looks from airport inspectors and a knowing smile from an Ilocano security checker in San Jose. In my suitcase were frozen Daing na Bangus, Morcon, Higado, Nilagang Talong, Pinakbet, atbp.
