Palenke

Ruby has a Canadian classmate visiting, so yesterday morning they went to the 6am "Rumba" exercise class in the nearby plaza, drank a taho from a vendor for a snack, and then bought food for a full Filipino breakfast in the Palenke.

so what does a palenke look like?




yes, we have shops and we now have a mall (and a new one being built) but the regular folk go to the Palenke down the street to do their shopping in the very early morning, before the it gets hot.

Joy then cooked them a full Filipino breakfast: fried Bangus belly (deboned milk fish fillet), red egg (egg soaked in salt brine then hard boiled), and Rice.
