Coco jam and bread = perfect combination. You can also try peanut butter + coco jam together and you will get two thumbs up experience. This of course will depend on your tolerance to the coco jam.

All three featured in the photo came from a bakery that uses the old fashion way of baking bread, through brick oven. As a child I disliked coco jam candy because it smells “ewww”. The taste, I must say, seems like an acquired one and is something that develops over time.

The oil from coconut is said to work fine for pimples but I am not sure if acne vitamins and an intake of coco jam would go hand-in-hand for a clearer skin. Maybe it would, who knows?

Why waste time thinking about it, let’s all use up the coco jam in that little jar on the bread and eat! 

Filipinos know this food just by its scent alone.

When I was cropping the photo, I asked my son if he knew what this food is. He said the name of a mall near where we live where I had this as well as the name of the dish, and he was right on both counts. Bangus Belly from Reyes Barbecue.

I like this better than other food eaten with rice, even before I had to lay off on meats, especially with the fat attached.

What would you put in the soy sauce? Calamansi juice? Chili?

I prefer this eaten with fresh raw tomatoes

Nakakamay pa.
