Lenteng Buhay 'to: Food trip in Bacolod City

The AssoTech team went to Bacolod City to do a 2-day training workshop on rice production for our partners in Negros Occidental. We stayed in East View Hotel in Bacolod, our poging Sir in PhilRice-Negros did all the logistics and he's also the one to tour us around, but not for places but mostly for food, thank you, ACS (Albert Christian Suner).

halata bang gusto namin yung stairs?

After our courtesy visit to the Mayor of Kabankalan City, that's how we do things, we always go to the municipal hall or provincial hall to visit local officials and their municipal agriculturists. Then we proceed with our activities for the day in the area.

for my TODA collection, a tricycle wrapped in plastic because it's raining most of the time (it's July when we visited, already rainy season) waiting for passengers in Kabankalan City hall

Welcome to PhilRice-Negros, the station based at Cansilayan, Murcia, Negros Occidental, going here you will pass by a lot of sugarcane fields, oh well, you are in Bacolod, that's why.

Additional 2 for my TODA collection, saw these tricycles when we went to Pala Pala.

Pala Pala is a seafood market on San Juan Street corner of North Capitol Road. The style here is very much the same as "Dampa", you pick your kinds of seafood in the market (like what Ms. Lani and Tita Vangie are doing in the photo) then go to the restaurants around Pala Pala and asked them to cook it for you.

grabe, anlaking mga itlog

halaan nga ba 'to? hulaan nyo =P

pssttttt sarap!

iba't ibang klase ng hipon, di ko na inalam kung anong tawag sa kanila at anong kaibahan, basta orange din lahat yan pag naluto =P

siempre pag may hipon, may crab, partner yan sila

at dahil nasa Bacolod, siempre not to miss ang masarap na scallops, na ang tagalog pala ay "iskalop" or kabibi...mahal at di masyadong present to sa Laguna, kaya sige Marya, "heeyah scallop" ay gallop pala yun =P
