Philippino delicacies I need to try?

[shugar]

mango is available in most metro manila good restaurants. Jolibee has mango pie !

when buying ripe mangoes, check for its sweetness. smell it you should detect the sweetness, else it may not be ripe yet. or worst not good quality carabao mango. definitely there should be no spots or roughness on the fruit. it should be smooth, soft, sweet, delectable, and the aroma really plays a big part in its sweetness .

and don't forget SWEET LANZONES, should be taken alone no other fruit,

stay away from CHICO, its like eating soil with sugar !!! and smells like a drunk person

watch the calories, you may need to buy a new wetsuit two sizes up

and that means more weights !!!!

.

lanzones from camiguin are the absolute BEST... forget that laguna crap after you've tried it... will try to bring home a few kilos for you guys when i go back to butuan

nope... longan closer to a lychee... relatively hard skin...

lanzones... hmmmm... well soft skin, the pits are in the meat itself rather than at the center (like a cherry or lychee pit)...

Lansium domesticum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

just got the link from wiki... apparently it's not very widespread in the world... but it doesn't mention Camiguin and northern mindanao as a source...

Are you sure there are any Lanzones left? I thought my wife ate them all when we in Puerto Galera in 2005

Yup, that's packed already! Wether I heed the advice of the wise or not, I figure I'm going to get it eventually...

You actually get more calcium you can use from the undeveloped (fresh) egg. By the time the embryo starts getting crunchy, it has taken the "nutritional" calcium from the yolk and converted it into indigestable bone, which passes right through you.
IOW, the calcium is there in the fresh egg all along, and Uncle Ricky's first law of eggs and fortune applies; to wit:
"The longer you wait, the more the chick uses it up, and the less you get out of it."


Rick

right you are. while it is still in fluid form than solid(bones) and that is why Penoy is best for calcium absorbtion !!!
