No Reservation (Part 1)

I said that I would be open to trying new experiences, and that includes food. I feel like I’m walking in the footsteps of Anthony Bourdain. I’ve tried almost everything that has been offered to me. Carlo’s family has been impressed by my willingness to be adventurous. Though I think I disappointed his father when I didn’t have the guts to try Balut (boiled, fertilized egg).

Here is just a sample of the type of food that I have tasted.

We went to Tender Bob’s which is an old restaurant chain in the Visayas region.

I had a version of fruit punch which was juice with pieces of watermelon and pieces and coconut. Chicken, pork and beef are prepared in many different ways. For example, I tried Kare Kare, which is a stew that you eat with a fish paste. For dessert I tried Brazo de Mercedes, a dessert made of the egg.

I really enjoyed their breakfast pastry, Ensaïmada. I also tried their version of chorizo sausage called longainiza which you eat with rice and egg, but I don’t have a photo.
