Snakehead Fish
This is one of my favorite foods, a broiled "Snakehead" or "Mudfish", I prefer it broiled over a hot coals because I like the flavor of burnt fish skin on its meat. But I like it parboiled in vinegar, garlic, black peppercorns, salt, and seasonings and then fried because it gets crispy and nice to eat with some rice and I also like to eat its liver because of its earthy flavor and well as the stomach and intestines so if broiled I just want the belly part to be cooked well.
Fermented Rice With Fish
This is one of the delicacy side-dish that I am always excited to eat. It can be eaten on its own or as a viand to rice if you do not have anything else to eat. But it is better paired with fried fish, broiled fish, some boiled or fried eggplants, boiled okras, and or blanched sweet potato tops.
Not all people here in my country likes or familiar with its taste. In my family it is only me and my parents knows how to eat it. My other siblings and their families just sees it as rotten, well they are right though but it is fermented and not that rotten where bad bacteria had transformed it to this beautiful-looking masterpiece of a side-dish.
This fermented rice and fish can have a variety of flavors depending on the fish that they used like tilapia, milkfish, the fish above or snakehead fish and other freshwater fishes and also some small shrimps. My favorite was the tilapia flavor because it just tastes nice for me.
Anything Beef And Beef Internal Organs
I also like many dishes made with beef including corned beef, the locally known "Bistek" where they cook some marinated thinly sliced beef, fried and then the marinade as a thin sauce which is made of soy sauce and local lemon. It really tastes nice with rice if it is cooked well (tenderized).
I also like to eat beef tendons and some gelatin-soft fats although not much because it is unhealthy.
Actually it doesn't matter sometimes about the food, the important thing is your appetite for food. In my case I only have a good appetite at dialysis when I am hooked-up but after my session especially after I had taken my Parathyroid medicine my appetite goes down the drain again. So if you still have your appetite then it is a gift that you must be grateful for because not all people can enjoy food even if it is delicious and well-cooked.
