Beef Wonton Noddle Soup

A friend who lives abroad was in town for a short visit recently.  We reminisced  the old times over bowls of noodle soup at North Park, one of our favorite late night haunts back in the day.

Batchoy craving

@ mirandablue
La Paz Batchoy from Ted's Oldtimer La Paz Batchoy

Blame it on memory gap.  I couldn't remember if this was Extra Super Batchoy or the variant Beef Batchoy.  But I remember it was über delicious!:p

I've been hankering for La Paz batchoy since the typhoons and monsoon rains started.  Batchoy is my ultimate comfort food---it's a hearty bowl of hot, feel-good soup and nostalgia.   It is a quintessential Ilonggo dish as sisig to the  Kapampangans. Growing up in Negros, we had batchoy any time of the day, in all kinds of weather.  Unlimited servings of kaldo (soup), chicharon bits and crunchy garlic were free then.

Bulalo Soup for the Soul

@ mirandablue

A bowl of hot beef bone marrow soup, more popularly known as Bulalo.  This was a kind of reward after a long drive in Batangas on a dark, rainy night. The hot soup energized us on our journey home.

Soup and pasta @ Almon Marina

@ mirandablue

Almon Marina is my favorite place when I needed a quick lunch or a light dinner. They serve healthy and fresh sandwiches, and their a la carte dishes are well-cooked.  Mushroom soup and Carbonara---my snack cum dinner on Sunday.  I needed a full stomach before I ventured to the HomeWorld sale at the SM Megatrade hall.:p

Sinigang na Tanguigue

@ mirandablue

Sinigang na Tanguigue (Spanish Mackerel) served hot in a clay pot.  For non-Filipinos, sinigang is a light soup cooked with a souring agent like tamarind, tomatoes, guava or calamondin.  Aside from fish, pork, beef or shrimps can also be used.  Vegetables are also added such as okra, taro corns, daikon, water spinach, eggplant and yard-long beans.  Green finger pepper is usually added to enhance the flavor.

Laksa

@ mirandablue

I was craving for something spicy the other night and this is what I had---Curry Laksa at Secret Recipe.  This is a coconut-based curry soup with rice noodles.  My bowl of Laksa had tofu puffs, fish sticks and shrimps.  It was delicious but not as spicy as I'd like it to be.
