How about laswa, pinamalhan nga bilong-bilong and pancit canton? Just a typical noontime meal for people here in Iloilo but for Ilonggos residing elsewhere especially out of the country, it could spell a glorious meal of old favorites or dishes they haven't had for a long time.
Usually the pinamalhan nga bilong bilong often gets the most cravings since it's a rather hard to find fish even outside the region. A silvery flat fish often cooked pinamalhan but also delectable when sinugba, pinirito or binuro. It is considered the Ilonggos signature fish for it seems non Ilonggos are haven't discovered it yet.
Then there's laswa - the Ilonggo mixed vegetable stew cooked in the simplest way with the freshest vegetables one can find. Usually It has okra, kalabasa, saluyot, talong, patola, etc but the addition of puso ng saging makes it even more fiber enriched and adds texture. Now who can say no to this dish?
And lastly just a typical pancit canton with meat and vegetables but what makes this more than teh usual is that the noodles used isn;t the typical egg noodles. Its like a flatter version of the yellow (egg noodles) that resembles fettuccine and one can really appreciate the noodles in every forkful.
Now that I've answer my own question, how about dinner?
