For example, what is the easiest option to get to the spectacular rice terraces? Or how to take the night ferry between Cebu and Siargao? Where can you get the best food in El Nido and where is the best view in the Philippines? (Hint: It's not the Chocolate Hills.) "I love Philippines" will answer you those questions and many more. In "I love Philippines" you find all my personal experiences of my travels to the islands of the Philippines. Each island offers unique and unexpected treasures even for the frequent traveler.

Download or read book Kain Na written by Felice Prudente Sta Maria and published by Rpd Publications. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Illustrated book containing essential information on Philippine food and eating habits, Kain Na! (which means "let's eat!") is a warm invitation to the country's communal dining table and its regional kitchens. Filipino food is the summary of Filipino history - from the indigenous food to the prehistoric era, to the influences of Asian cooking generated by trade, and the Colonial influences brought on by conquest. Yet for all its richness and diversity, little is known beyond dishes like adobo, sinigang, lechon. Kain Na! aims to change that. The first Illustrated tome of its kind contains essential information on Philippine food and eating habits. It is divided into 12 chapters. Almusal (breakfast), Lutong Bahay (home cooking), Meryenda (afternoon delights), Lutong Kalsada (street food), Paghimagas (desserts), Pulutan (bar chow), Pang-Pista (festival food), Inumin (beverages), Sa Panaderya (bakery finds), Kakanin (rice treats), Sawsawan (dipping sauces), and a section on ingredients key to the Filipino larder.
