The best companion to have, whether in traveling, food tripping, or even just walking and strolling, is my Mama. Why? Because she's always on the go. Just ask her, and she will say "Sure" to everything as long as you treat her with good food. She really love having a good time that whenever there is event in our place, she's the first to ask me goin there. She's an outgoing person while I'm not. But Mama is a good companion that when she asked me, I will also say yes to is. Because why not right?
Anyhow, as I've mentioned on my previous article, we couldn't see what we planned to see in Plaza last Tuesday, which is why we decided to just come back later, which we did yesterday. We went there earlier at 4 p.m., and luckily we were able to see what we wanted to see there. But I'm still a little disappointed because we didn't see any new products, like unfamiliar fruits or vegetables in there, which is really the reason why I want to visit there. It'll be good to flex them in herr, if only. We couldn't see a lot, but I find two unfamiliar fruit in here, that I think some haven't seen yet. I'll share that here later so, scroll down and read.
And of course, yes, I am with my Mama again. My forever companion, my barkada and my best friend when it comes to having a good time like this. She gladly come with me that day because I know how bored she is too in her house and I'm surely sure that this little walk of ours gave her a little kick that day. So, come with us as we have our walk going to the town Plaza to enjoy.
So, going to the Plaza, we take a different route, which I think will just take us a few minutes to get there compare to if we take the other route. This route is actually the route I take whenever I go to school. I also remember the vendor who sells Banana Cue, Banana fritters, and turon here. The reason why before I reached school, my money was already used up, lol. Who can't resist that food anyway? Tell me! Haha.
And this pretty house here is where my Mama used to work as a housekeeper. It's a big and beautiful house, but they didn't keep the old design of the house, I mean it's color. And this color is much cooler than before, which was duller than this. This one is bright and very lively, but I heard no one is living there right now, they are all living abroad and working. If ever they decide to go back here, they have a beautiful house waiting for them.
And with this picturesque view, it's perfect! This is also the reason why I have loved to take this path before. It is more enjoyable to have a peaceful walk in here with this kind of scenery with my friends on both sides while we are all chitchatting about just anything. Those are happy memories of mine as a young kid.
How I wish I lived in this kind of peaceful neighborhood. Once I save up enough money, I will buy my own lot, and I will find a place with this kind of view here. I want to enjoy the peace this kind of place has to offer to everyone. I hope it happens soonest.
Anyway, moving further, this one caught my attention because of that speed boat. I'm not sure why it's here, but whatever the case, it looks cool, and I want to ride it. I can imagine myself riding it while in my uniform and with a rifle hung on my shoulder. That looks so cool! OMG! Like they used this in an emergency or something. But this one should be placed in a safe place, but why this one was here, Im just wondering.
Moving on, we finally arrive at our destination, the main feature, BANSUD AGRI TRADE FAIR 2023! To be honest, there's nothing much to see here. But each booth consists of different fruits, vegetables, and other products from the 13 barangays here in Bansud. It's still a good program, especially since they sell much cheaper goods here. Those who visit Plaza de Bansud to have a good time can also visit here to check if there's a product that they like.
You can count on your fingers the number of people you can see at every booth. But who knows? Maybe people have already visited here before us. We went here in the afternoon, after all. The whole place is so big, and it looks even bigger because there aren't many people.
Here's more! And by the way, here's the booth for our Barangay, Poblacion. I see familiar faces, I know them, I just don't know their names, lol. So they are the ones managing this booth. I hope they've already sold a lot of product here. It's not just fruit that they sell here, there are also homemade products like that Fan made with Abanico.
And at the other booth, there are a few people buying here. I'm not sure what they are buying, but I think it is fruit.
And here are the two products that caught my attention, as i've mentioned above. The first fruit is what we called "balingbing" here in our place. I remember we used to eat a lot of it as kids, and we only get it in school for free. I already forgot what it tasted like, but I know that it is really a juicy fruit. I missed eating it, but I didn't buy it. I am craving for other things at that time, and Mama doesn't like it either, so we just skip it. According to Google, it is called Carambola, also known as Star Fruit. Well, as you can see from its shape, it really looks like a star.
Another one is this yellow fruit, and according to Mom, it is called "Tisa." I never really tried eating it before, but according to her, it is really delicious and sweet. I saw the texture of the fruit, and I don't like it. It's kind of dry for me. It is called Canistel or eggfruit, according to Google. Have you tried any of those? What do you think of it?
And for the last set or picture, This trip would not be complete without a food trip. We also had finger food and a drink that we really enjoyed, paired with a good scenery. I urged Mama to get a different drink, but she also chose the same as mine.
I mean, I can't blame her, that Coconut Shake is really good with lots of Milk and Coconut chunks. In fact, a small size is not enough. But we're sure that we can't take the large size, so we opt to just buy this. We are so full after eating that much. I will definitely buy that drink again!
What a perfect day! An awesome walk with Mama and good food after looking around, it's the best! Our bonding time is this simple, but all of it is worth it. └|∵|┐♪
