Underwater Magic: Freediving Adventures with Clownfish
Underwater Magic: Freediving Adventures with Clownfish
Freediving to find clownfish is a thrilling and serene underwater adventure that combines the beauty of the ocean with the excitement of discovering one of its most iconic inhabitants. Clownfish, known for their vibrant orange and white stripes, are often found in warm, shallow waters around coral reefs or in anemones. Unlike scuba diving, freediving involves holding your breath while diving without the aid of breathing apparatus, allowing for a more intimate and natural interaction with the marine environment.
Huge Thank You to our guide Jeano Llubit

Farm Fresh Buko Juice Straight from the Coconut!!
Farm Fresh Buko Juice Straight from the Coconut!! Buko Juice is a popular and refreshing drink in the Philippines. Buko juice is made from young coconut, known locally as "buko," which is full of electrolytes and nutrients, making it a healthy and hydrating beverage. The process of extracting the juice involves cutting open the young coconut and collecting the clear, sweet liquid inside.
In the Philippines, it is common to enjoy buko juice on a hot day as a way to cool down and stay refreshed. Many vendors sell it by the roadside or on the beach, offering it in its natural form or mixed with other flavors like pineapple or melon. But nothing is like having it farm fresh. Drinking fresh buko juice straight from the coconut is not only a delicious experience but also a way to connect with nature and appreciate the bounty it provides.

Farmfresh Jackfruit, a delicious treat in the Philippines
Fresh Jackfruit. Tree ripening is always the best for any fruit.
Jackfruit, known locally as "langka/nangka" in the Philippines, is a tropical fruit that has gained popularity not only for its distinctive sweet flavor and texture but also for its versatility in Filipino cuisine. This large, green fruit, which can weigh up to 55 kilograms, is believed to have originated in the Western Ghats of India but has found a second home in the warm, tropical climate of the Philippines, where it thrives abundantly.
In the Philippines, jackfruit is celebrated in a variety of culinary applications. It is eaten both ripe and unripe, showcasing its flexibility in dishes ranging from sweet to savory. Ripe jackfruit is known for its sweet, fragrant flesh that can be eaten fresh or used in desserts like turon (a type of fried banana roll), halo-halo (a mixed ice dessert), and various kakanin (rice cakes). Unripe jackfruit, on the other hand, has a more subtle flavor and meat-like texture, making it an excellent vegetable meat substitute in dishes such as ginataang langka (jackfruit cooked in coconut milk) and as a key ingredient in vegetable stews like pakbet (a mixed vegetable stew).
The cultivation and consumption of jackfruit in the Philippines reflect not only the fruit's adaptability to the local climate but also the creativity of Filipino cuisine in incorporating it into both traditional and modern dishes. Its nutritional benefits, including high levels of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, further contribute to its popularity. As the world becomes increasingly interested in sustainable and plant-based foods, the jackfruit stands out as a versatile and nutritious option, embodying a remarkable blend of flavor, culture, and sustainability in the Philippines.

Early morning Binignit cooking for Good Friday
Time to start cooking the Binignit. This is my favorite meal of the year :) So needless to say I am very excited to get this cooking finished and then eat myself into a food-induced coma!!!
Binignit, a cherished dish from the Visayas and Mindanao regions of the Philippines, holds a special place in the hearts of those who grew up with its unique blend of flavors and textures. It is a traditional Filipino dessert soup made primarily from glutinous rice, sago pearls, and various fruits and tubers, all simmered in a sweet coconut milk base. Your enthusiasm for preparing and enjoying this meal underscores the deep connection many have with their cultural culinary traditions, especially when such dishes are enjoyed only once a year or on special occasions.
Preparing binignit is a delightful culinary journey that begins with gathering all the necessary ingredients, which might include slices of ripe banana, chunks of sweet potato and taro, jackfruit strips, and tapioca pearls, among others. Each component is carefully prepared and added to the pot at just the right time to ensure it cooks perfectly, melding its flavors with the coconut milk to create a harmonious and comforting dish. The process of cooking binignit not only fills the kitchen with an intoxicating aroma but also brings a sense of anticipation and excitement for the delicious meal to come.
As you embark on this culinary adventure, remember that the joy of cooking binignit lies not only in the final dish but in the love and care put into its preparation. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with loved ones, binignit is more than just a meal; it's a celebration of heritage, a feast for the senses, and a testament to the rich culinary traditions of the Philippines. So, as you savor each spoonful, let it be a reminder of the warmth and joy that food can bring into our lives, especially when it's a dish as special and beloved as binignit.
