The Diary Game: Better Life April 3: Healthy Dinner Away from Home

Kumusta mga Ka Steemit?

This is my second week here in Manila in search of a job and better opportunity for my family. Unfortunately it's lockdown here so I barely go out because of the strict policy and there are no means of transportation. For two weeks I have been far from my family and how I miss my wife's cooking.

Good thing I have a good friend here in my boarding house who shares their meal with me. It's very hard to buy food here because food business are forbidden to sell unless it is a necessity. Take out are most common but its so expensive. And you see I have to budget my money here.

So this wonderful couple who are camera shy shared this Native Filipino dish with me. It's called Tagalog Bulanglang. Bulanglang is a healthy dish consisting of different types of vegetables. There are different versions of Bulanglang; this particular recipe is the version from the province of Batangas.Making Bulanglang is quick and easy.This is probably the healthiest Filipino soup because of the combination of different kinds of vegetables. Having a serving of Bulanglang can supply most of your body’s daily needed vitamins and minerals.

You can try adding a little salt to enhance the flavor. Some people make a dip consisting of fish sauce (patis), birds eye chili (siling labuyo), and calamansi to add more flavor. If you want to try this dish to avail of its health benefits, I suggest that you take it easy on the salt and fish sauce.

This is best paired with fried fish and unlimited rice. Well I might be eating a lot today because of this healthy and delicious food. I remember my wife cooks similar thing but they call it Utan Bisaya.

I hope you had a full stomach today steemians.. See you again..
