Last December 2010, my colleagues and I went to Imperial Buffet for our Christmas lunch. Imperial Buffet has different kinds of food to choose from: Chinese, Japanese, Canadian, and other cultural cuisines. There are lots of deserts, cakes, and other fresh seafoods. Some foods that I can recall: Corn, Pork Sausages, Sushi,  Seaweeds, Spareribs, Fried Chicken, Fish, Siomai, Dumplings, Shrimps, Udon, and other typical chinese food. The cost is $10.99 per head but price may vary. It is reasonable though. No time limits unlike other buffets. Overall, its yummy!

Foods I Crave ...

Ginamus
Tubagbohol.com
I miss and love ginamus. Ginamus, based on my research, is called Salted Fermented Fish. It is grey in color. Ginamus consists of small fishes. The taste is salty so its better to mix ginamus with calamansi to lessen the saltiness. Mix it with rice then you can die busog(full). :p

Saluyot

Saluyot (Jute Leaves) is one of my favorite vegetable. We make it as our daily vegetable soup back in Zamboanga City. Saluyot is like alugbati, they’re slimy. I don’t know if they are related though.

Saluyot is rich in beta-carotene which is good for eye sight (now we have a substitue for kalabasa/squash), iron for healthy red blood cells, calcium for strong bones, and vitamin C for beautiful skin.

If you want to be pretty and healthy, eat Saluyot! :)

Dried Salted Fish
From a Flickr User
I assume we all know what this Dried Salted Fish tastes like. Its salty and dry. In Zamboanga, we call it Pescao Seco (Pescao = fish, Seco = Dry) and Bulad in Bisaya. Best combination with tuba or pinakurat + rice or just with rice. It is also like eating Patis(fish sauce) with rice. If I have to choose between chicken and Dried Salted Fish, of course I would choose the salted fish!

Pinakurat
Oriental Super-Mart
Described as hot spicy coconut vinegar, Pinakurat is best combined with lechon, pork, chicken, fish, rice, and everything you can think of. A must try for all Filipinos.
