Antoine's village day 2

After following Antoine by motorbike in the pouring muddy rain, we stopped at his friends hut, to collect a massive sac of locally grown potatoes. 

We sat under his delicate palm leaf roof with about 8 children, grandma, several ducks, chicks and chickens, hoping the rain would stop...

but never did.

Was it worth it?

yes.

Also worth being stuck under a hut with adorable little children.

My first time trying this kind of potato. 

Dense, satisfying, starchy, with a hint of sweetness. It's of the breed of 'camote' (sweet potato), but not the orange inside kind, and was teardrop shaped. 

Coffee + snacks = happiness

This is Ginataang Bilo Bilo

Colour comes from the purple yam, which is in a coconut mildly sweet sauce, with cassava and sago (tapioca pearls). 

I'd say nice and mild. 

Happy me
