FOODS TO DIE FOR IN CAVITE:
BACALAO
This Cavitenean dish was inherited from the Portuguese way back during the Galleon Trade period (Spanish Era). Bacalao is a salted codfish and is present to the Caviteños' table during Lenten Season, most especially during Good Fridays.
TAMALES

One of the most popular delicacies in Cavite. Tamales is made of galapong with peanuts, wrapped and steamed in banana leaves. Tamales is perfect with coco jam as its dip.
PANCIT DE CHOCA
Filipinos love Pancit but Caviteños made something better. They incorporated squid and squid ink with pancit noodles. It might look intimidating but it's the taste that matters.
FOODS TO DIE FOR IN LAGUNA:
BUKO PIE
I'm pretty sure that when we say Laguna, the Top-of-the-Mind Food will be Buko Pie, a pastry with coconut fillings. There is really something with Laguna's Buko Pie that's why it is also a popular pasalubong.
MER-NELS CAKE
Cake? What's special with a typical cake? Nope, it's not just a cake but a cake to die for! This is one of my favorite cakes. Mer-nels's cake is so moist and its icing is really delicious.
PUTO BIÑAN
Made of galapong, sugar syrup, baking powder and with cheese and salted egg on top, Puto Biñan will surely make you drool not just because its cheesy and fluffy but it is also HUGE as plates.
FOODS TO DIE FOR IN BATANGAS:
BULALO
Your Batangas roadtrip will not be perfect without Bulalo! A signature dish of Batangas also known as Beef Bone Marrow Soup. Sipping the bone marrow is the best part.
TAPANG TAAL
Tapang Taal's other term is Jerked Pork and is derved with garlic rice, sunny side up egg and achara. In Taal, they serve it with hot cocoa chocolate poured in rice. This is a famous breakfast Batangas food.
MALIPUTO
Maliputo fish can only be found in Taal Lake, no wonder it's a very authentic Batangas dish. Batangueños love to cook it whether fried or steamed and partner it with Bagoong Balayan.
ADOBO SA DILAW
Adobo is a very famous Filipino dish but in Batangas, their Adobo is quite different. It's main ingredient, aside to pork or chicken, is turmeric or "Luyang Dilaw" that makes the food yellow.
So whenever you go to CALABARZON, be sure to ready your cameras or camera phones for your Instagram food posts. And oh! Your tummies as well. See you for my next blog!
