Mrs Naty
---
On a previous post I mentioned that Filipinos love to eat. We do. We love fiestas but we also do crave for regular home-cooked meals.
As a boy, we had this neighbor called Aling Naty. She had a carinderia* and daily serves the most wonderful okoy** and the best tasting vinegar with chili to match. For mid afternoon snack she would have some banana or camote que*** or turon****. And late afternoon til early evening, she would be grilling tasty pork barbeque.
I would happily exchange buckets of fastfood chicken for that again.
* neighborhood home-based food stall
** shrimp fritters
*** deep-fried bananas or sweet potato with caramelized sugar
**** banana (sometimes with bits of jackfruit) spring rolls with caramelized sugar coating
