Hey ayngie, the best time to experience PUTO-SIKWATE is on the early morning when it's still dark...the time when most Filipino mothers go to local fresh market to buy the fresh produce. Before going home, they already stop by at a food shop within the market to get their breakfast so when they go home they'll just prepare breakfast for their family. SIKWATE is a chocolate drink derived from Cocoa tablets with brown sugar. PUTO MAYA is steamed white glutinuous rice with coconut cream, white sugar, and ginger. TORTA is a tyoe of cake made of flour, butter or margarine, sugar and special ingredients as pork lard and coconut vinegar called "TUBA"....

Thanks so much for this! Afterwards I did try the Argao torta version with lard and it was delicious.

@@ayngelina yup! As you have noticed as well, SPANISH still abounds in Cebu, food and even language. We wouldn't be called oldest spanish settlement in the Philippines for nothing 🥰🥰

[@ayngelina]

I love that aspect as I’ve been missing Latin America but we won’t realistically be able to visit until we can get him a visa for Canada as it’s so expensive to fly across the Pacific, as you know.

[@aldrinpagunuran8688]

its hard to eat kinilaw without beers or rum,,,,,,

[@ayngelina]

A good calamansi drink does the trick! Although you'll notice in my kinilaw recipe there's beer 😉 www.baconismagic.ca/philippines/filipino-kinilaw-recipe/

Oh, welcome home to Cananda. I am from Alabama, USA. Alan (sp?) is getting good at reviewing food. That cake looked delicious! Also, the boy was working so you did great supporting him! Lastly, I think the squid may be charred with a torch. It looks so yummy❤.

[@ayngelina]

Oh I’ve never been to Alabama but I have heard the food there is delicious. And you know the boy was so sweet and never asked for anything so we felt it was ok to tip him. 😊

[@ayngelina]

Also you are the only one who spells Alan’s name right 😊

Sikwate is a good chocolate drink for a breakfast

One of my favourites!

there is a whale shark watching in Bohol, less crowded

[@ayngelina]

Do they put bait in the water to bring the whale sharks in?

[@fashionfgurl18]

@@ayngelina unfortunately yes, its actually just recent just a few years they notice whale sharks were frequent and started feeding them too, visayas sea is teeming with marine life there is even videos of Orcas/Killer Whales which is surprising because orcas mostly live in cold waters of the ocean

[@ayngelina]

The problem is that once they feed them they send the region out of balance because the sea life the whale shark ate gets overpopulated. This is going to be really bad in the long run 😢

[@fashionfgurl18]

@@ayngelina biggest issue is feeding them makes them human depedent, if you look at some whale sharks in oslob some have scars as they bumb the boats to signal to feed them

[@ayngelina]

It’s so sad. When we left Oslob for Dumaguete we drove through the area people do it and it was a mad house and way too busy

[@tommygunn3210]

I'm glad you didn't support an irresponsible operation like that, 😊

[@ayngelina]

Thanks! I do believe they think they are doing better. But I find more and more tourists have unrealistic expectations for wildlife and so operators in the ocean feed the waters even for snorkeling. I usually try to avoid animal tourism all together. When we drove to Dumaguete we went by the street where all the operators begin and it was PACKED for offseason so lots of people in the water means they are feeding for so long to keep the whale sharks around. That said they travel all over the world, and I know in Mexico you can do tours where they aren't guaranteed because they don't bait the waters.

[@briantravelman]

I kind of get it. I mean, if you're paying so much money, you want to be guaranteed a sighting, but I understand how it's bad for the animals. I've noticed that most of the people who run these tours have little or no background in eco-tourism or conservation. But even if they do, third world countries don't always have such high standards. The kind of tours you're speaking of, like the ones in Mexico, are usually run by expats or locals who studied in Western countries, where they have much better education and higher standards.

[@tommygunn3210]

@@ayngelina I saw one once by chance on our way to a dive spot. I jumped in (at a distance) to catch a glimpse before it took to the depths. It wasn't much, but I would never harass wildlife or feed them just to get a better look.

[@ayngelina]

Well to be fair the worst offenders of the environment are western companies in developing countries. I’ve seen this all over Latin America and Asia from Texaco oil spills in Ecuador to massive luxury developments in South East Asia. It’s easy to say that developing countries aren’t educated but they are and they know they shouldn’t be doing it.

Allan is awesome. Wish we could meet and have him talk more about Indonesian food.

[@ayngelina]

Alan is definitely awesome. And he's becoming more comfortable on camera so you'll see more and more of him. 😀 And after the Philippines we have a short 3 part series in Indonesia that I think you might like.

You give tips to nice people in the philippines. Just saying. Like this kid.

[@ayngelina]

Oh I am so glad you enjoyed it!

[@fashionfgurl18]

actually the raiders were pirates from sulu and mindanao that is why watch towers were built the churches were also the refuge for the people. If you travel to Mindanao - southern philippines there are muslims there different vibe more like Malaysia and Indonesia less hispanic influence than cebu

[@ayngelina]

This is why I’m interested in Mindanao 😊

I am happy to hear you’re feeling better and I do take your concerns seriously.

[@lizcarlyle2477]

@@ayngelina I emailed Carly of exploringsumatra. Her youthful husband just got out of the hospital with serious dengue fever in Prapat near Lake Toba. She told me she orders cheapest sunscreen from Tokopedia. Check out her ebook: North Sumatra Travel Guide. When I left Timor in 1985, my dark hair turned blonde, weighed 100lbs & my skin was like leather from all the walking unprotected in the sun, malnourished from lack of food, aka "musim lapar" in the villages. Heatwave here, 90+. Take care.

[@ayngelina]

I saw that he had that, so painful! I always wear sunscreen and a hat and I try to wear sleeves and stay out of the direct sun. I cannot imagine what it would have been like in Timor om 1985.
