street food...

I could still remember that time when a foreign reporter narrated the realities on the ground after a catastrophic event happened in this country, everyone was so happy (some considered him a hero) that it highlighted the real scenario of what is really being done on the ground. Many said that it took a foreign journalist to point out several things for the truth to come out and they're very thankful. Just recently, a travelling blogger, a foreigner, created a blog post of her experience visiting the Philippines. In her post, she found Filipino food unlikable making it to her "will never eat again list". A description of her experience eating street foods; in an eatery or karenderya as we called them and those not so fresh vegetables and fruits found in the local market or palengke. Telling about her experience which is also the reality everyone seems to come out hating her. Their reason, she didn't went to popular places that serves "real" Filipino food, wrong place to eat, some said. But to really look into her post, what she did was simply tell about her experience, the reality of every Filipino who doesn't eat at good restaurants, like most of our daily workers who live in a small budget. I think her post just opened the reality of food quality in our famous karenderya's and public markets, where food safety and quality are sometimes not monitored or maybe not at all. Peace!
