FoodBlast from the Past : @ Calle Crisologo of Vigan City (2 of 2)

Bagnet

Calle Crisologo is a "must be" in Vigan City. The street was named in honor to their Political Clan that served the city and the province of Ilocos Sur for generations. It is famous for its remarkable restoration to its Spanish colonial era look. It also houses to a numerous shops and stores of sovienier items and food. One of which is the Bagnet.

In simple terms,if chicharon is to pork cracklings of pork skin and with a little fat, Bagnet is a pork crackling with its skin, fat and meat intact. It is boiled, air dried and fried two to three times until the dessired crackling effect on all parts.

and yes! its full of fat so its sinful and full of guilt. dont tell me i did not warned you.

Background of the Entry:
I got my first digital (point and shoot) camera last September of the year 2007. I dont have a blog site yet but I do have a multiply site since January of 2006. My blogging started August of year 2008. In between those dates, I captured many photos of places, food, events and virtualy any thing that my heart desires on that time. Blogging those photos was my primary reason why I captured them. Blogging on those times was kind-a difficult for me for I dont have the means. So im reviving my old food photos to make these entries.

Chichacorn

Calle Crisologo is a "must see" in Vigan City. The street was named in honor to their Political Clan that served the city and the province of Ilocos Sur for generations. It is famous for its remarkable restoration to its Spanish colonial era look. It also houses to a numerous shops and stores of sovienier items and food. One of which is the Chichacorn.

Chichacorn was coined from two words : chicha from chicharon (pork cracklings) and corn from cornick. The difference between a cornick and a chichacorn is that the chichacorn is fried until it "popped" thus the crackling effect of its kernel.

It has a varriety of flavors and the most common one is salted-garlic and hot and spicy.

Background of the entry:
Before I became a blogger, my personal hobby in amateur photography came first to me. Back then, I use a film based cameras, like the one i used here is a Kodak KE85 35mm film camera. I went to different churches not only for tour/travel but also for pilgrimage and thanksgiving.

Starting this week, I'll feature all churches I been but never been blog before. because for me, church tour is just a beautiful way of showing gratitude and offering self's prayer.

Litratong Pinoy # 52 : Paboritong Litrato (Favorite Photo)

Cape Bojeador Lighthouse
Burgos, Ilocos Norte, Philippines

Nag isip ako kung ano ba ang aking "paboritong litrato" at eto ang pinaka sa lahat. sayang di nyo nakita eto sa photo paper. sa lumang Kodak KE85 ko ito kinuhanan. naka film pa sya kaya maganda sa papel. nung i-ni-can ko sya medio dumami yung dumi, na-is-can pati alikabok.

searching for my favorite photo, this one is the most. sadly you cant and you did not see it on paper. i captured this photo using our old Kodak KE85 35mm film camera. i just used a photo scanner to digitized this but unfurtunately even the dust and specks are also included in the scanning.

tuwang tuwa ako nung nakita ko ito sa unag pagakakataon. para syang post card.

im so happy, deeply glad upon seeing this photo. it really looks like a post card.

Maligayang huweBEST sa inyo mga ka-LP

ABC Wed R3 : the letter "W"

W is for
Wind Turbine

This windmill farm is located at Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The farm has 20 windmills, each has about 24 stories high and produces a total of 25 Megawatts of electricity enough to power 40% of the province. It is along the coastline, thus, being there is breathtakingly amazing. Engineers decided to put up the farm there since the place is not prone to typhoons and the northwesterly winds are strong.

To get there. Take a bus or a plane in Manila to Laoag. Its better to hire a van from Laoag City to go there, this will take about 45 min to reach the farm. Public commuting is possible but you will make almost a kilometer hike from the national road to the farm.

Have a great Wednesday to all...Happy Holidays :)

This is the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, Philippines

Its the highest Lighthouse in the Philippines.Solar powered and funded by the local government.

Situated on top of the hill, It has about 230 steps from ground to its bulb. When you reached the top,you can see the sea to the west and the mountains to the east. its breeze is so cool and the scene is breathtaking.

to get there:

proceed to
Laoag, Ilocos Norte by bus or plane from Manila;
then by bus to Pagudpod, just ask the conductor to drop you on the site;
then walk on the hill, thus renting a van will be the best idea
