Watermelon Seeds?

I haven't tasted butong pakwan for a long time (years na!) and upon seeing it being sold in a pasalubong store in Bulacan, I bought a small supot (P35). Of course na-excite si Isabel since fave nya ang watermelon. She find it also easy to crack open the seeds.

But thinking out loud, is it really watermelon seeds? Looks suspiciously different to me if you compare the seeds of a 'real' watermelon and the butong pakwan being sold. So what kind of a seed is it?

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

By
I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

By Edel San
I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
