Adobong Kangkong of HukadI remember we used to cook Kangkong ('water' spinach) in the house when I was younger. I remember that because I was often asked to buy it from the market and not because I can recall how it was cooked. The food must not have been that appealing at all. Hihi.
Then we discovered this little restaurant of a place in my hometown. I forgot its name but it could have been “Loloy’s Payag”. I’m not sure. They cook the best Adobong Kangkong I could ever remember. Also, the place was a sweet place in the sense that it was special to my brother for he knew everyone who worked there and so, everyone made us feel like it was home. We frequented the place for a long time until my brother passed away.
I don’t think the restaurant is still there. But if it still is, I would want to go back and dine there again. I’m sure the place and food would bring out so many memories I have often preferred to be hidden somewhere in the deepest, special part of the heart.
And I would want to bring the birthday girl, Chelo, with me when I do that.
Happy Birthday, Chelilly! *hugs* I wish more of your dreams and wishes to come true. =)
And I hope you know how grateful I am of our friendship. I may have met you a little late in life but boy, does it feel like a lifetime. =) Thank you for embracing me and my little family. Thank you for you. =)
