It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...
Road trip to Cabanatuan City from Manila is three to four hours
drive depending what route you will take. My mom loves taking the back road to
buy fruits, vegetables, salted egg, and balut before we reach our destination.
Stop # 1:
No one can live out with watermelon you see every time you pass by and this is one thing my mom loves to eat either to blend to make a watermelon smoothie or cut up from the refrigerator.
Price of each watermelon is PHP 70.00 ($1.40)
Vegetables sold on the street onion from red or white and raw uncooked peanuts.
Price of Peanut and onions are PHP 100.00 ($2.00) per kilo
Stop # 3:
Exotic balut in what I had mentioned before in my blog on exotic food you may check it out for your reference.
Jing Jing is a place where you buy it wholesale and the main factory that provide other sellers in the Philippines.
Price on salted egg per piece PHP 10.00 ($0.20)
Penoy Balut per piece PHP 6.00 ($0.12)
Balut per piece PHP 11.00 ($0.22)
Penoy Balut has no chick just like an hard boiled chicken egg just it is a duck egg
It is best to contact Jing Jing Store before going there if you plan to buy by the dozen. They tend to run out which had happened to us.
Best to bring egg crate containers with you when you plan to buy by the dozen.
Stop # 4:
My favorite stop over is eating fresh grilled or steam white corn on the road. You can also buy white corn that is uncooked and bring home to your family.
Cost for one white corn is PHP 7.00 ($0.14)
Look for Elan to buy white corn we always buy from him because the white corn is so sweet and fresh.
By the time you come home you have so many goodies to eat the next day.
