A Food Hunt with Mama: Checking and Trying Some Carinderia in Poblacion for the First Time

Our short quest in the market become a fun one because of what happened this morning. It is unplanned walk that we did in different area in Bansud, we never really plan anything today. I thought it would be just a "typical day" but guess what, it is actually an exciting one. We went to the area that we rarely visit and if we go visit it, we don't really explore it. ←⁠(⁠>⁠▽⁠<⁠)⁠ﾉ

But this time, we explored it a bit in search for a Carinderias as we heard from a friends that there's actually a lot of eatery there that we can find. There's a private high school on this spot and one private elementary school somewhere so maybe that's why there's more carinderia in there now. Good for the kids, they have a variety of choices for a Carinderia where they can have their lunch or snacks.

But before that, let me share first this first carinderia that we checked. This one is near PUP, my old UNI where I graduate. And actually, we went to this part because we want to buy fried chicken. We couldn't find fresh fish in the market so we decided that will just buy a "kanto style chicken joy." But sadly, the fried chicken stall is not present that time. We also checkesld this carinderia because the fried chicken stall is also near this carinderia. I want to buy cooked vegetable dish but the only dish available that time was only breakfast meal. We left this area sad and disappointed.

And this is when mama said that we should also check the Carinderia near B.I, that private high school that i mentioned above. And on our way there we also checked this one here. We never tried buying any dish here but today I decides to but their Taro with Coconut Milk because it looks really good.

This one is small but look how much dishes they have on their menu. There's a lot! I guess they have a lot of regulars here seeing that they cooked a lot of dishes. One servings of their meat dishes cost 100 pesos, half for 50 pesos. Then for the vegetable dish, its 20 pesos but the serving's really small. I was disappointed to be honest. Haha

Anyways, the walk continue. We're on our way to the B.I now and its really hot in here, OMG!

Heres the first one, there's not much in display yet inside so we didn't check it.

The second one, here's the second carinderia that sells more dishes in it. Mama decided to buy "Ginataang Langka" here. As for me, I want to buy another vegetable dish but i'm having a second thought. I feel like I will be disappointed again with their servings haha

Here's the third one, Gina's Eatery. I think I know who owns this one. I remember ka Gina as the one who go house to house to sell her homemade dishes. Sadly, she's not here now. So for sire it's her kids who's managing this eatery. So sweet of them to name it after their Mother. And we also didn't check this coz they don't have anything in display yet, maybe they are still cooking.

I saw two more small eatery on our way back home but could't take a photo of them, ehe (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠). It's like a typical eatery too with all the casseroles in the front. Although we wanted to check but we already bought what we need so, maybe we'll check then again next time.

By the way, here's the Ginataang Gabi that i bought. Seriously, it's just okay. But I prefer the Ginataang Gabi near our house. I won't buy the same dish again there but I could try the other. As for Mama, she like the Ginataang Langka very much, its a bit sweet. When I tried it, I told her that it is more like a Humbang Langka. Anyways, I also bought Lumpiang Shanghai in a nearby restaurant, near put house I mean. Lucky coz they're still hot so its still really crispy when we ate it. ♪⁠ ⁠\⁠(⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠\⁠ ⁠)

What a wonderful walk this is. ＼⁠(⁠^⁠o⁠^⁠)⁠／
