Talaba with Friends

Negros Occidental is not only reach in sugar but also with different kinds of seafood and one of it is TALABA (Oysters). Talaba is famous in our province especially in Himamaylan City. One of the sources of income of the people in our municipality is Talaba. Over the city there are a lot of cultured oysters that's why me and my friends after we hang up we choose talaba for our lunch. We bought a half sack of talaba around 80 pesos. Even though there are some shell that is hard to open we still enjoying it. For those who doesn't even experience eating talaba, I suggest you to try especially if your going to visit our province.

Favorite Delicacies

These are my favorite delicacies . For some who doesn't know this product, I provided description below. 

1.Piaya is a flat unleavened bread filled with mozcovado (raw) sugar. A product of the Negros province, sugar capital of the Philippines, it is now also produced by other regions in the Visayas.  The bread is flaky, just like the Chinesehopia, and the filling is, of course, sweet. The dough is prepared then formed into small balls. The filling of mozcovado sugar is spooned at the center of each ball then the ball is re-shaped. Rolling pins are used to flatten them. Ovens used for commercially produced piaya are not enclosed contraptions but more like huge open griddles. The flattened piaya are arranged in rows and columns, cooked until the underside is lightly browned then flipped over to brown the opposite side.
