Tuesday Travels (Local Food): Shells



I never thought that this "toy shells" to me is food to the locals.  Honestly, I really dunno how to eat shells and I don't ever had an idea what it tastes like.  That is why when I saw this plateful of shells, I asked the owner who was axing coconuts, if I can have some shells for my collection.  And he said, they are still filled and it is going to be their viand that morning.   That explains why it is placed in a plate.  I was taken by surprise but laugh it out later.  My friends teased me for being so ignorant that shells like these are food.  When it's empty, that's the time it can become a toy.


This food was taken in one of the barrio in Cabilao Island, Loon, Bohol during our trip in April 2008.

    The first time I tasted shells that looked like these was when I first arrived in Cagayan de Oro. I was surprised and amused that my in-laws ate it with safety pins :)

Lake Apo: The Plan and the Visit

Image
The first time I saw Lake Apo in the Facebook account of the owner, Dr. Almer Alfonso, I said to myself, I am going there.  So I clicked Like on the photo and then later ask Dr. Almer how to get there.  Summer was over and first semester started and I still can't put into my schedule a trip to Bukidnon.  I desired to see the place alone.  But then thinking it would be more fun to have company, I tagged the photo to my fellow Iligan blogger, Pinay Travelista .  I am betting she got a mole on her foot thus her travel blog.   Indeed she agreed to make me realize my wish without a second thought.  We thought we could make it last August during the last weekend where Iligan enjoyed a long weekend.   But Dr. Almer was on vacation in the US.  September made us really busy for the planning of the coming MBS5 so the plan was put aside to an unknown schedule. Before September ended, I know I am going to make the plan a reality.  I shared the plan with fellow Iligan bloggers and invited ever...
