HELLO WEDNESDAY!

Now we feature what to eat in Siargao. This, however, is vegetarian-friendly.

If you are looking forward to more "variety"(in other words, meat and seafood) you should hang on until the next video upload soon. ;)

By the way, coconuts aka butong, buko, lubi is great for hydration. A must need for this hot summer season.

Boasting more than 10 surfing spots from beginners level to expert level, this is a dream for anyone who aspires to learn how to ride the waves.

However, there is also the question:
"Is Siargao only for surfers and surf enthusiasts?"

This video should answer that

We are always in search of the best beaches in the Philippines and best summer destinations. We go on a new adventure this summer by going to the favorite summer destination of 2019, Siargao Philippines.

This is what we have been missing out on?

Known as the surfing capital of the Philippines, Siargao have been a favorite among locals and hardcore surfers for decades.

And dip in chocolate?

It's a weird fruit fiesta fiasco for someone or a wild wallpaper of a person with a sweet tooth and love for mangoes.

Dried mangoes is almost a default "tinabuan"* when visiting a destination in the Philippines, especially Cebu, because it is simply the National Fruit of the Philippines.

Nowadays, they are also available dipped in chocolate and as chewies.


Why Dried Mangoes From The Philippines?
Some may ask.  It is because the variety of mangoes mostly grown in the Philippines are carabao mangoes.  They are known around the world for its sweet and exotic taste at its ripest.

If you have tried it, you'll understand.


Unfortunately, if you wanted to bring some outside of the Philippines it isn't easy as you need authorisation papers from the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI), this according to https://www.philippine-embassy.org.sg/the-philippines-2/visit-the-philippines/customs-passenger-guidelines/.

Having them dried, pasteurized and packaged safely would be the easiest to transport then.  So, dried mangoes it is!

There is a Mango Flying Everywhere
Because our carabao mango is well-loved by a lot of people, not just Filipinos, there is a demand to try this product.  In fact, there are a lot of dried mangoes processed and packed by Profood International Corp for other countries such like Korea and Japan.

Go to the nearest department store and look for the Philippine section, there will be dried mangoes there and most probably they are packed from our 1st stop on our second day of the Cebu Food Crawl 2016 - Profood.

That's it you guys.

Catch you on my next munchtrip.

Bye Bye my fellow munchters.

*tinabu-an - it is the Filipino term (Bisaya in origin) meaning souvenir or gift you give to your loved ones from your travels; it can either be unique food, a symbolic item, a miniature, or any reminder of the place; "pasalubong" in Tagalog.

Why Sweet Mangoes are Enjoyed in The Philippines
The mango is the National Fruit of the Philippines.  But it is not only us, Filipinos, who love this  diverse fruit.

Philippine mango also known as "carabao mango" (Carabao mango by Wikipedia) and this among exotic fruits is known around the world for its exotic sweetness that contributed to a big craving for these.


How To Court Someone With The Philippine Mango
I remember my Philippine History teacher in high school once said, the mango is shaped like a human heart, so it symbolises love.

"Ows?"

If you like a person and you want to tell that person that he or she is sweet, give sweet mangoes.  It will surely give her a smile.

But if you want to profess your whirlwind-like romance for someone, especially a Filipina, don't give her chocolate and flowers.  Instead give her mangos.  Find the face-wrenching sour green mango and add uyap**.

If you are lucky to be in the Philippines, it is only 20 PH Pesos (less than 0.50 USD)

You may say "WHUT?" to this combination but it is so good.

It is a rollercoaster of umami, tangy, and sweet that will make her jump off her feet and into your arms.

Try it.  Good luck!

That's it.

Catch you on my next MunchTrip.

Bye bye my fellow munchters.
