Durian Season is here!
It's business as usual here in Butuan, but people in Luzon area have been battling it out with Typhoon Ondoy. My condolences for the people who lost their love ones and their properties. If you want to help please click this link for info.

Kinilaw
This is a kinilaw. Kinilaw or Ceviche is a dish made of seafood that is cooked without fire, using only lime, vinegar. There are many varieties of kinilaw here in the Philippines. This particular kinilaw was made using fresh tuna fish, ginger, cucumber, onion, vinegar, sugar, chilli and japanese mayo. Yeah. Mayonnaise-- and it was heavenly. As heavenly as a raw fish could be hehehe.
Kinilaw is usually best eaten at the beach but any place will do.
Food prepared by my friend Joanne. If you want a recipe for kinilaw (not this one exactly) you can follow this link.

Balancing Act
I find it funny how the passengers on both sides were talking as if they were at a bench on the park. Complete with hand gestures. Nonchalant.
Taken at Nasipit highway.
This is one of the forms of public transportation here in the Philippines that we call, skylab.
My other skylab post.

Lake Mainit
In our brief stop at Almont lakeside resort, we used the opportunity to take a lot of photos of Lake Mainit.
As I mentioned in my previous post two days ago, lake mainit is the fourth largest lake in the Philippines. And it is also the deepest.
There are four municipalities bordering this body of water namely: Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte, Mainit, Surigao del Norte, Alegria,Surigao del Norte, Jabonga, Agusan del Norte. We are looking at the lake from Kitcharao's perspective. The vantage point of Agusan del Norte that Butuan is a part of.
Lake Mainit is well know for its abundance of fishes, and some are rare like puyo and gabot.
As hadv kindly reminded me, lake mainit got its name from a hot spring that pours into the lake. They called the spring "Mapaso" (scalding or can scald) and the water because it is hot, mainit (which means hot).

Goat 2 geder
Montalban Street. Back of Gaisano mall.
It seems to be an unlikely name for a hotel and restaurant but Goat2geder is gaining the reputation of being the place to stay in Butuan.
It started as a small fastfood (?) selling mostly dishes made from goat at its previous location at Doongan-Ambago. Today its one of the hottest hotel and restaurant in the city (despite the name he he he). I can't vouch for taste of the goat dishes but I hear its good, if not the best.
It's one of the hotspots in the city.
