We went to Pangyawan as per invitation of my cousin's half brother and his family, who were generous and hospitable towards us.. When we arrived, we were welcomed by freshly harvested Buko from the coconut trees in their own yard...

They also cooked Kamoteng Kahoy and we enjoyed how naturally sweet they were..

After that afternoon snack, we went to the seashore and decided to take a plunge and go boating...

My cousin told me that at that very shore, fishermen would sell fresh fishes direct from when they have arrived from fishing at the deep waters... They are fishes you would normally find in the market, that shall already be priced high and perhaps be preserved using ice.. But buying from there would mean that the fishes are yet fresh, un-iced and cheap..If the fisherman is a friend, you can even get them for free...

My cousin told us that in the morning she will buy some fresh catch for us to enjoy... so yeah, in the morning, we were served Tinolang Nucos (Squid) and Bisayang Manok sa Gata (Native Chicken in Coconut Milk) for breakfast... Yummy.. Both, chicken and squid were fresh...

I bet this is your first time to hear of Tinolang Nucos or Stewed Squid as it is usually cooked Adobo style. Tinolang Squid is much similar to cooking Fish Tinola as fresh squid is cooked in boiling water with lemon grass as primary herbal ingredient... It tasted sweet, and has no odor..

Before we started breakfast, I saw two other foodies coking in the kitchen with another Squid recipe, and the Native Chicken in coconut milk continuously boiling...
