Bulanglang

I remember, we usually eat this dish with inihaw na bulig(mud fish or also called snake head fish)  freshly caught at my dad's  rice field in  San Pablo Hagonoy Bulacan with my Inang Gening homemade balawbalaw(a fermented rice and shrimp dish)all the family members eating on the long Narra tables  having a picnic by the green ricefield eating with our hands using banana leaves as our plates.Desserts usually guinatan,suman with sweet mangoes or rice cake and fresh buko juice from the farm.I miss all that foods and  laughter that  sadly my kids will never appreciate.
