After Then

All of us know that eating right food is good for the body.Our health is much important than anyone else. In tropical country we could find lot of vegetables that easy to grow in the backyard. Just water them regularly so that they will survive,and grow fast.



Eating vegetables daily is like "you keep the doctor away". Back in my country we used to eat 3 heavy meals everyday aside from the snack. Heavy meals with rice or maize cereals.



So seems that when time I moved here my family and friends are worried about me. Yah about the different kinds of food here. They're asking about that their's"no rice" the fact that potato and bread is much common food. Actually my first year at stay here is not such a big problem for me,their bread is different way back home. Bread are contains protein and fiber.





Potato instead of rice it still great and I love it.It sounds funny because as I grown up I experienced only that we used potato as mixed with meat.



During my first visit in my country I have a feeling to taste "food"that I used to ate. I check in the garden and saw eggplant. "Nomnom"I grill it and mixed with vinegar and soy sauce. Very simple but I like the taste.






I even saw okra in my brother's garden. This kind of plant could even bought in the grocery here but since the plants itself grown only in warm land. It's like quite an excitement for me when I saw them really fresh from the garden.



Not all member in the family like okra because of it's juicy contains. But this is one of my favorite and with it's high dietary fiber,vit.A,C,k and lot more. This is even good for pregnant women because it's rich with folate.








It's like a "bonus"for this lemongrass. Try to imagine cooking chicken soap then used lemongrass hmmm.The smell makes me more hungry.Ohhh native chicken soap!how I wish to taste it again.

Lemongrass is widely known in Thai and Vietnamese cooking. This grass is even rich in a substance called citral. A very good substance aid indigestion as well as relieve spasms,muscle cramps ,headache and specially good for rheumatism.






















Sugarcane is not a type of vegetables,but it's been a long time since I taste this one. Philippine is not the only country who produced "sugarcane".The largest country is Brasil and Indian.
