Negros Farmers Market (one more time)

Naadik na yata ako sa organic stuff kaya nung Sabado balik ulit kami sa Negros Farmers Market. This time we passed the main entrance wherein you need to pay P100 consumable entrance fee. Asked how to use it? Found out minimum purchase should be P50 and then you pay that card they gave you and the stall owner should give you a change. Now I bought food worth P130 and I gave the P200 worth ticket. The owner gave me P70 as a change. How would they know or track that I would still buy the remaining P70? Crazy idea right? Oh well. Nasa complain mode ulit ako. As usual plastics everywhere. Why? Why? Why?

New thing this time, agricultural stuff such as pesticides, insecticides, etc. are now in place. Still recognized the same faces I saw from last weekend but there's quite a few stalls that's not there this time. Meaning they come and go and back again when they feel like it ;) I'm assuming here. ☼

rice with adobo flakes

Ito ang mga bago na tinikman namin. Masarap ang adobo flakes.ü

Ito'ng siopao curry nakakaumay. Pinilit ko na lang ubusin. ;(

Ang paborito na sushi. This time may wasabi at wala para safe ;)

Tried this puto cooked in gata but it was so hollow I didn't like it much. I'm still thinking of the best puto I tasted in a school in Escalante City. 'twas so yummy! ;)))

But of course i'm still coming back to Negros Farmers once in a while to find out what's new. Hopefully no more plastics and papers but real utensils. ;)

Cattleya

Out of the blue i was told to go look for a cattleya blue to gift on a birthday. What the hell is cattleya? hahahahaa googled first before i went my way. It's supposed to be somewhere in San Dionisio barangay Granada, Bacolod City. We had to do 3 u-turns and a few stops to ask where we can find it. Finally found it just along the highway. How could we have been so blind to missed it? ;) But then quite small entrance they have. The place we were looking for was Rosario but the sign on the gate states otherwise. Yun pala shortcut ng del Rosario na apelyido ng may-ari.ü

very small entrance

hidden sign

huge Balete tree by the entrance

sun seeping through Balete tree

vanda

cattleya P500 (purple) and mokara P250 (orange-yellow) that we bought

caretaker

about to bloom

This is the widest orchid garden i've ever seen this lifetime. I was so excited going around and checking it out. Cattleyas supposed to bloom throughout the year but we have had to look harder before we found one that is in full bloom. It would have been a different view when every pot was with flowers.;)

It's worth going back there next chance for someone's birthday to gift.

Pala-Pala sa Bacolod

Apart from the Manokan Country near SM Bacolod there's a new place for more eateries. Still mostly chicken inasal. Checked it out last Sunday night and when we asked how much the regular size pusit was the salesgirl told us P180. Asked about the lagaw P100/each. We were just cussing while leaving of the horrendous price we're given! So the best thing to do? Head off to Pala-Pala original. I was informed it's open 24 hours. We ended up buying 2 big pusit for only P170 and half a kilo of shrimps P150.

Looked for an empty place to have it cooked and saw

We paid P315 for the cooking, 2 beers, 6 servings of rice and a sprite. Not bad for the 4 of us and we had to walk halfway home to burn some calories. We were just too busog. ;)

Ano'ng bag-o sa Bacolod?

it's been awhile since my last visit to New Government Center. i only go there if i have guests to show around the city. So when friends returned from UAE we checked out the city and what they missed for 2 years being away.

What used to be fruits stalls nearby NGC turned out into Eastwalk.

going there is this nice pathway beautifully landscaped with palms. And what did we see? Food stalls! Anywhere in Bacolod you won't get starved. Said they just opened last March and what caught our attention is the buko cocktails stall.

So we ordered 3 kinds of buko-halo just so we can have a taste of each kind.

buko halo-halo

buko mais con yielo

buko pandan

My friends from UAE almost finished the liquid sugar and i was just laughing the whole time until we cleaned out the last buko flesh.

So disappointing that all 3 buko-halo just tasted so plain and without sugar but i actually liked it because i can live without sweets. ;) I also noticed there were quite a few who would come and order 'to go'.

Next stop is to look for a place to have a decent dinner. i thought of San Juanokan because they usually have a live singer to entertain you while chewing and having a beer, unfortunately we realized it was a Sunday night and no entertainment. i noted of the days that they do have. i especially like it there for one food is affordable, and i love their 'nangka' as dessert and it's country music usually. ;)

Negros Farmers Market

I have heard and known of the Negros Farmers Market every Saturday months back but i can't seem to figure out their exact location so i kept on foregoing it to another Saturday. i am an advocate for anything organic since i started to become aware of my destructive lifestyle and even though it costs a bit more i believe that it will save me more from getting hospitalized in the long run by living out control damage as early.

Although it was drizzling last Saturday and so hard to tear away myself from the book i was reading (The Girl who played with Fire), i decided to move my ass and have brunch there. Even took a taxi to show us the right way but the driver didn't have a clue. We were driving so slow not to miss the sign until finally we saw this:

Yey! we didn't get lost hahahaha. Later did i know we entered through another gate thus missing this main entrance:

and so we didn't pay the P100 entrance (which is by the way consumable) but ended up spending much of that anyway.

Got so excited to go around. Ang lawak pala nya at divided into different zones.

Nung mapagod na sa pag-ikot siempre pagkain na ang hanap. The only stall that got my attention for something different is the Japanese corner. Maybe because i saw the chef is an authentic Japanese. ;))) Almost bought and tasted everything as of di na babalik. hahahaaha

claiming my ramen

Of all that i ate, i like best the korokke (mashed potato with ground pork and seasonings then fried). Then i ate the sushi which i topped with wasabi and here how i felt while munching it:

picking the sushi

putting it in

feeling the effect of wasabi

cursing the wasabi

I am such a fan of spicier than spicy but this moment, feeling ko nag burst lahat ng brain cells sa utak ko pagregister ng wasabi. watdapak! talaga na feeling. i had to buy one more sushi and enjoy the taste.

Ang isang bagay na di ko nagustuhan, paper plates, plastic spoon and fork, plastic cups, etc. It was just so ironic that i read so many signs around the area to bring your own plastic and bags when you come and that go for organic, be green and all and yet use the same. bad trip di ba?!

ramen

Paborito ko ang noodles. Mabubuhay ako kahit ito lang pagkain the whole of my life kaya sa lahat ng pagkain na nakita ko hindi kataka-taka na ramen ang inorder ko. I told the chef make it super spicy. When i got it, it was so disappointing. Nothing extraordinary. No kick whatsoever and the serving was pitiful. Sya pa naman pinakamahal na binili ko @ P60. All the rest ranging from P10-25 kaya matitikman mo talaga lahat ng produkto nila.
