Manic Monday Recreated

Monday - the beginning of the week for school and work (Urban Dictionary)

Manic - having or relating to mental illness that causes someone to become very excited or emotional (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)

Manic Monday - a very stressful day to start a week! (Then)

Manic Monday - a very relaxing day which replaced my Sundays.... (Now) 

With all the crazy work load I have (weekday regular classes, weekend masteral classes, store duties, etc.), I'm still glad God vacated my Monday afternoons for relaxation!  It's just that today, I had over-relaxed to give time reconnecting with different sets of friends!  Here's how my aftie was:

Lunch at Big J Grill House With MM and Atsi Ann

Dessert at Cafe Eduardo

After my 6 PM - 7 PM class, I thought my day would end but Cherry Ann called up for a Tuslob Buwa experience!

With Cherry Ann, Ann Lorien, Princess, and Queenie

Ishi and Shania Writing and Posting Their Experience 

To wrap up the day, a cup of tea is best all the way!  So back to my favorite couch at Cafe Eduardo! :)

This time, with Carl Antoni "DJ Carlo"

See, a manic Monday cannot be that manic at all!  If you hate Mondays, find ways to recreate 'em.  Though we're gonna be early for school and work tomorrow, it still pays to give in to late nights with friends and tea!  Oh, we're already maturing!!!!  Haha!  'Till next time, guys! :)

Feature Friday: Tuslob Buwa at The BBQ Station

Feature Friday highlights businesses, people, fashion, and basically anything under the sun!

Tuslob buwa is a colloquial term for food dipping. It originates in Cebu City where it literally means "to dip in bubbles". In the streets of Carbon and Pasil, vendors offer tuslob buwa for free to passers-by and all they have to pay is the puso or hanging rice which costs for only P3 each. Market workers and laborers just drop by to any tuslob buwa nook around the market to ease their hunger for the day.  Now you might be wondering what's in this tuslob buwa?

Tuslob buwa is a concoction of sautéed pig brain, shrimp paste, spices, and broth.  Out from the simmering wok, eaters dip their puso into it thus taking the word buwa.  It's too far from being a viand but to the masses, it's already a complete meal that could get them through.  

But out of curiosity, other people also want to try this boy-scout-kind-of-eating-thingy apart from boodle fighting.  Sanitation-wise, it's unwise to eat at tuslob buwa nooks in Carbon.  Just imagine the plenty of hands dipping into the wok.  Just imagine the puso from a person's mouth to be dipped again into the wok. Tuslob buwa indeed is just for those with rigid stomachs.

However, it's a great thing there are carenderias and even restaurants that are now adapting the culture of tuslob buwa.  They are now offering tuslob buwa so we can also experience the fun dining that comes with it!  This time, we need not worry about sanitation for the wok is inclusive for our group only.  Additionally, you'll also get to enjoy cooking your own tuslob buwa version by yourself.

And another great thing, tuslob buwa is now here in Ozamiz!  Thanks to The BBQ Station for bringing this exotic Cebuano street food to our city!  Now let me share to you how to cook your tuslob buwa version.

Sauté onions.

Add in the liver.

Pour the broth.

Add the shrimp paste.

Season with soy sauce, pepper, and secret seasoning.

Dip the puso and start eating!

There you have a quick and easy tuslob buwa tutorial.  It's not a very hard thing to do so anyone can just do the honor in cooking it though he/she cannot actually cook.  Group work cooking is more fun with this like you just have to take turn in doing the first step then next and next.

It's not just fun cooking and dining at The BBQ Station but it is also affordable.  One set of tuslob buwa costs only P99!

Now, what are you waiting for?  Tag along your family and friends for this unique fun dining experience!  Visit The BBQ Station along Port Road, Ozamiz City and taste a Cebuano delicacy in an Ozamiz way!
