Locally we call it bangus, it’s milkfish to you dear readers. It’s considered our national fish. The Philippines is one of the best places to buy fresh bangus. There are a hundred ways to cook bangus. The best part of course would be the belly. It contains a healthy fat that is good for our health. We had this for lunch today, three slices of bangus belly. Bear with me, I am practicing on my macro shots on food. I don’t seem to get it right, the focus is not always to my liking. What do you think of this?
Sweet and sour Bangus belly. Oh so yummy!
Dreams And Escapes 
How about posting a recipe of the sweet sour bangus ? I ate a lot of the fish when I was there.

Hahaha, just three fried slices topped with the sauce Elizz. Like you I am not good at food photography. Can’t you see it, yung may itim sa gitna. Maybe I should have used a wider plate for this ‘no?

I love bangus. The sweet and sour sounds great, esp. if it is boneless.

Really, you don’t like bangus belly but do you eat bangus? Eating the head part and the belly part is always the highlight of the meal when we have bangus at the table 🙂

Hahaha, ako naman, I don’t eat the “buntot” part no matter how it is cooked unless it is made into daing and deboned.
