Traveling Again by DU FU

TRAVELLING AGAIN BY DU FU

I remember the temple, this route I’ve travelled before,

I recall the bridge as I cross it again.

It seems the hills and rivers have been waiting,

The flowers and willows all are selfless now.

The field is sleek, and vivid, thin mist shines,

On soft sand, the sunlight’s colour shows it’s late.

All the traveler’s sorrow fades away,

What better place to rest than this?

Iloilo’s most famous culinary contribution!
Let's eat first before we travel again this for our stomach to be fulfilled by a hot batchoy Lapaz, Batchoy
A serving of egg noodles called miki, topped with generous amounts of fried garlic, crushed chicharon (crispy fried pork skin), scallions, slivers of pork meat, intestines, and liver, and for the finishing touch–a spoonful of bone marrow.
The secret to the dish is in the buto-buto broth, which is slow-cooked for hours with beef, pork, and bulalo mixed with local guinamos (shrimp paste) for flavoring.
We also loved the extra serving of soup, fried garlic, and chicharon! Best paired with sweet puto. It’s a cholesterol-laden nightmare but quite the treat every now and then! 🙂
