Karanasan sa Pagkain sa Higalaay Festival sa CDO

-


Sa bawat taon, ang Higalaay Festival sa Cagayan de Oro ay nagiging dahilan ng masayang pagdiriwang ng kultura, sining, at siyempre, masasarap na pagkain. Kamakailan, nagkaroon ako ng pagkakataon na dumalo sa festival market at talagang hindi ako nakapagpigil na mag siyasat ng iba't ibang lasa at putahe na iniaalok ng mga lokal na tindahan.


Pagdating ng aming grupo sa festival market, agad naming napansin ang makukulay na mga booth na nag-aalok ng sari-saring pagkain. Mula sa mga street food hanggang sa mga gourmet na putahe, tila hindi kami mauubusan ng pagpipilian. Una naming sinubukan ang potato swirl, ang piniritong patatas na may orange na coating. Ang bawat kagat ay malambot at malasa, at pagiging chezzyness talagang nagpapasaya sa bawat kagat.


Hindi rin namin pinalampas ang lechon, na isa sa mga paborito ng mga tao sa festival. Ang malutong na balat at malambot na laman ay talagang nakakaginhawa sa panlasa. Habang kumakain, napansin namin ang mga tao sa paligid na masaya rin sa kanilang mga pagkain. Ang dami ng ngiti at tawanan ay tila nagdadala ng masayang atmospera sa buong lugar.


Isang highlight ng karanasan namin ay ang pagtikim ng fruit shake, isang espesyal na dessert na gawa sa ibat’ ibang mga klase ng prutas. Ang tamis nito ay nagbigay ng tamang balanse sa lahat ng savory dishes na natikman ko. Sa huli, nag enjoy kami at napuno ng masasarap na alaala at bagong karanasan, na hindi lamang tungkol sa pagkain kundi pati na rin sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga tao at kultura ng CDO.


Ang Higalaay Festival Market ay talagang isang gastronomic adventure na puno ng saya at lasa. Kung may pagkakataon kayong makapunta sa Cagayan de Oro, siguraduhing huwag palampasin ang festival na ito. Tiyak na mag-enjoy kayo sa masarap na pagkain at sa kakaibang karanasan ng pakikipagkapwa!

The culinary identity of the Philippines is beautifully captured in three iconic dishes: adobo, lechon, and sinigang. Each of these dishes holds a unique place in Filipino culture, yet together, they form a narrative of flavor, history, and shared experiences. From the comforting tang of sinigang to the celebratory indulgence of lechon and the familiar boldness of adobo, these dishes are the embodiment of Filipino ingenuity and hospitality. Photo Layout by Ingie Simen e A Taste of the Philippines: The Harmony of Adobo, Sinigang, and Lechon The Essence of Tradition and Versatility At the heart of Filipino homes lies adobo, a dish that perfectly represents the balance of simplicity and bold flavor. Its base of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices creates a versatile stew that can be crafted with chicken, pork, or seafood. Every family adds its own twist, making adobo a dish of endless variations and a testament to Filipino adaptability. Similarly, sinigang reflects the Filipino love fo...

The Viewpoint: A Culinary Journey with a View

          In the neighboring Municipality of Malanang, Opol, Misamis Oriental, about 20 minutes from Cagayan de Oro City, lies a hidden gem for food lovers and nature enthusiasts alike: The Viewpoint Resort Cafe and Resto. As a food photographer and avid foodie, I was recently commissioned to take photos of their menu and some amenities, and there, I fell in love. My first experience of this resort was just before they opened in May 2023. While the drive going to the resort was smooth, leading towards it’s location when you get to Opol public market was somehow a challenge. The view though as I eased through its wide parking was another story. Most of the overlooking resorts I have been to, i would dread the road because it was either too steep and our old Mitsubishi Adventure might not be able to handle it. Surprisingly, the ride was a breeze, a little bump here and there and since it was not raining, I got there with no problem and the GPS location was on...
