For the lack of a better title. Haha
Anyways, my mom and I have this certain gusto for food tripping. Some days, we would go to the side streets of Manila to indulge in cheap gastronomic delights such as siomai, turon, isaw (for my mom, I don't eat innards) and some days are like these..
We have our occasional trip on a buffet. This week, our choice was the
Crowne Plaza Seven Corners Restaurant.
One particular dish that I love was this Bouillabaisse (spell check google!)
The mixture of fish, clams and shrimp reminded me of the sun and sea. Like swimming in an ocean kind of feeling. I can't fully describe the taste, so a comparison
Like these: Bright and sunny. Very light and soothing soup dish
Or abundant fish reflected by the sunlight
The pasta marinara also delivers that kind of feel. More thicker and more flavorful
Which takes me back to these off the beaten track kind of places.
This place immediately came to mind:
Balesin Island! A bountiful island waiting to be discovered!
Or like Annawangin in Zambales, on a hiker's view. Sun-kissed with some spice. Like stepping on hot sand without slippers
Then this after-meal tea. Apple, Cinnamon and Raisin flavor.
I'm not a fan of teas. Hardly ever drink it. But this one I love.
Feels like this
Lying in the grass. Or the feel of freshly mowed grass
Or
Simply staring at the clouds passing by. Slowly.
Ive made food description more complicated, didn't I? Haha.
Well. In general, this particular food trip made me miss the beach.
Can't wait for summer to come
:)
