Food, food, food!



Food is the material that contains or consists of essential body nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals, and is ingested and assimilated by an organism to produce energy, stimulate growth, and maintain life. Food is very important to us because we need it to sustain life and if we don’t consume food we will starve and die. 


We all love to eat food with the different aromas and mouth watering tastes and treats. Some of us even have our favorite food and this is a list of mine:




1. Pizza- I LOVE PIZZA-especially with the ones with many toppings like pepperoni, ham, meat, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives and others. With all these ingredients, pizza is so delicious!


I first ate pizza when I was a kid and I liked eating it. I always wanted to try different flavors and recipes like Hawaiian or Pepperoni and they taste amazing!






2. Chop Suey- Chop Suey is a meat or fish stir-fried with vegetables (e.g., celery, onions, peppers or bean sprouts) seasoned with ginger and garlic and soy sauce; served with rice. I like eating chop suey because it is very healthy since it contains many vegetables, meat, and sometimes quail eggs. This mix of vegetables and meat gives the food amazing blending of tastes.




3. Rice- Rice is a staple food in the Philippines and we always eat it with different food or as we call it our "ulam" to go with rice. Rice can be cooked in different ways and the best method of cooking rice is by steaming it. If boiled in much water, it loses a portion of its already small percentage of nitrogenous elements. It requires much less time for cooking than any of the other grains. Like all the dried grains and seeds, rice swells in cooking to several times its original bulk.


We Filipinos also make "Sinangag" or fried rice. Philippine style fried rice is a simple dish of rice, meat/and or vegetables, a little oil, some spice and a garnish. Filipino fried rice or Sinangag is less seasoned than other versions of fried rice such as Chinese Fried rice, but the recipe utilizes the same techniques. One difference in the final outcome is colour — Filipino Fried Rice will usually be paler in color because there is no soy sauce in the cooking. This is an easy, delicious and versatile rice recipe than anyone can enjoy. It is also easily modified for vegetarians and vegans.



4. Pansit- a dish of noodles and shrimps, fish, meat, or vegetables, with many variations, e.g., molo (with pork-filled wontons and broth), Malabon (with shrimps, oysters, and squid), Canton (with egg noodles), bihon (with rice noodles), buko (with coconut strips instead of noodles). I love eating Pansit because it has a great taste. It has many ingredients like fish, meat and vegetables and we can also add the juice of calamansi to add flavor. Filipinos love to eat this dish especially on occasions like fiestas and birthdays.



There you go! These are some of my favorite foods. These are cuisine I crave for. Even if I eat a lot of food, I never forget to exercise and live a healthy lifestyle. And also remember to finish your food everytime you can and don't waste the food the Lord has given us.
