"Promoting Steem Engagement: Food Photography Contest [ROUND 2]"


Hello everyone! Let’s continue our Food Photography Contest Round 2! I was really surprised by the number of people who participated in my first ever contest! There were 22 entries if I remembered it correctly! You guys are awesome! Keep em’ comin’!

Again congratulations to the previous winners and also congratulations to all of us! Now for the love of food and as an effort to really encourage active participation in the platform, I will increase the prize pool to 5 SBD! Therefore, I will now pick 5 winners instead of 3 before.

The same rules applied! If you haven’t participated in the previous one, you can read the rules here. But the duration of the contest will be increased to 48 hours.

Anyway, the rules are these: first you must upvote this post. I will not require you to resteem this but I would encourage you to do so. This is to gather more people to interact with! Again all you have to do is to upvote, you don’t need to resteem!

Next, comment your photo below with a short description of you entry food (at least 2 to 3 sentences). Take note that you need to introduce the food and not explain why you liked it. All I want to know is what the food is (if it is not familiar to me).

You are only allowed to submit one entry. Again, I will pick 5 winners for 1 SBD each after 2 days. AGAIN, prizes will increase depending on the success of the contest. I know the prizes are still cheap but if you actively participate and engage with the people, you will build a strong network in steemit. This will help you become fruitful in the platform!

The event will end on Sunday, January 28, 2018 at 1PM (Philippine Time). You have 48 hours!

HAVE FUN EVERYONE!

The Typical German Breakfast


20171124_074645.jpg

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And if you plan to visit Germany, your breakfast will most probably consist of bread, cereals & milk, ham & cheese, sausage, apple, yogurt, boiled-eggs and orange juice. After eating, don't forget to say "köstlich" which means delicious! Photo taken via Samsung J7+.

Wow! Amazing photography! I am not really into this kind of foods but your photography is just amazing! Galing galing! Thanks for sharing us this Don @ruel.cedeno :D

I also can't survive if I have to eat this everyday. I need rice! Haha

You have to get used to it hahaha!

Halo-halo (tagalog word for "mix") is a popular Filipino dessert with mixtures of shaved ice and evaporated milk to which are added various ingredients, including boiled sweet beans, coconut, sago, gulaman (agar jelly), tubers and fruits. It is served in a tall glass or bowl.

Sweets are one of my guilty pleasures! Hahah it makes me wanna eat now.hahaha

Hmmm looks good! Thanks for sharing!

This is a Filipino food and has a generic name of "pancit or pancit bihon". This yummy, flavory food is made from a pancit bihon noodles mixed with either corned beef, grind pork, "laman loob"/internal organs of cow or pig. What made this food special is that it is believed that once you ate it, it will give you a longer life.


The longer the strand of the bihon, the longer the life it would give you hahaha! Thanks for sharing man!

Bihon is life!

"Grilled Pusit (squid)"

Super easy and simplest way to cook squid, no need to add ingredients all you need is salt spread in the body of the squid and grilled it. Done!

Delicious Filipino local way of cooking, the way we fishermen cooked!

I am a fan of Filipino's way of cooking! Love the simplicity :)

My dinner for tonight, it is called Pigar-Pigar of Dagupan. Basically it is a fried carabeef, but it has a technique in how they sliced the meat making it tender and juicy. Then added just vegetables like cauliflower and cabbage on it.

It's somewhat like a beef steak with cabbage? Wow! I want to try this!!

Yes like beef steak but dry. Just add toyomansi in it like eating it. Pigar pigar is one of our local cuisine.

Godzilla Sushi and Butabara.
Godzilla sushi is a Japanese preparation and serving of specially prepared vinegared rice combined with varied ingredients such as chiefly seafood ang vegetables.
While Butabara is a pork belly. Hehe
While eating, drinking beer is recommended.

FB_IMG_1517028759843.jpg

Why is drinking beer recommended? Is butabara somewhat like pork bbq? Hahaha!

to help digest faster. haha
usually its sake instead of beer but here in the Philippines, beer is much common than sake.
Butabara is different from pork bbq because butabara is from the pork belly and before cooking the skin should be peeled first. also its way of cooking is different. haha

Ahh okay, because it looked like bbq hahaha

gpasosyal rana na bbq oi. hahaha

ALIMANGO( crab in english)

one of may favorite seafood. i bet this is everyone's favorite hahaha

Wow this is a good one! What actually is a ban pho? Is this served in Iligan? Hehehe thanks by the way for sharing this.

I dont know any vietnamese resto here in iligan or in cdo. This one i ate in vietnam. By the way ban pho is somewhat like rice noodles i think hahah.

Ohh you've traveled already in Vietnam. That's nice :)

Vietnamese people really love leafy vegetables! Healthy and tasty!

Exactly! I remember one time we ate at local resto and was very shocked coz i am seeing a lot of herbs and spices and it should be mixed with other foods.

This is what we call "Chapsoy". Its ingredients are mainly vegetables. It is good for those who are healthy living.

I love carrots but only in chopsuey hahaha! You should start planting veggies and share them to us :)

Fried Rice


Screenshot_20180127_160743.png


I really like the fried rice. this is my favorite food. Fried rice is fried rice using oil, soy sauce, and other spices that make a fragrant aroma and taste delicious. the reason why I choose fried rice as my favorite food because fried rice can be varied with various kinds of spices and other foods such as meatballs, sausages, meat, chicken. there is also a make fried rice as another variant of seafood and a mainstay seafood restaurant because it fits with the tongue of the wider community. even fried rice can also be combined with vegetables such as mustard greens, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, and much more. can even be given topping in the form of crackers, fried onions or in accordance with the wishes of the maker (chef). Besides fried rice is also easily found in every corner of the city even in remote areas though. so if I want to eat my favorite food just stay out the house that do not even have to travel long distances. if we want to make it ourselves also does not require a lot of cost and materials that are difficult because it was we can make fried rice in accordance with our own desires.
so that's some of my reasons why I love fried rice because it's simple, easy to find and most importantly it does not disappoint.

Thank you for sharing this to me @arfah :)

Hi good morning!

I would like to introduce my entry, a Quezon's special delicacy "Pansit Lucban"" or "Pansit Habhab".

It is made from special noodles found only in Quezon,cooked just like the traditional pansit but what makes it different, was of course the noodles, the raw onion toppings and perfectly paired with cane vinegar as sauce.

It is originated in Lucban and tradionally eaten in "habhab" way (using the mouth not the hands or fork), does the name came from.

Thank you and happy weekend! 😊😊

Captured by my Samsung S7edge.

What makes the noodles different and what makes it special? To us (Bisaya), the word habhab means to eat like there's no tomorrow hahaha! Thanks for sharing this to us :)

Hi,
Its a dried flour noodles similar to pansit canton, but it has a distinct taste which I have no idea with the other ingredients that the local makers put on that, haha! And the color of the noodles is quite darker than the pansit canton. The noodles also known as "Miki Lucban".
Wow! Thanks for the trivia about "habhab". 😄😄
New vocabulary. 😊

Ohh thank you for the information too. I'd love to habhab this hahaha!

Hahahaha! You must try that "habhab"! 😂😂.
Thank you sir. 😊

You're welcome, and please don't sir me hahaha

Oh Im so sorry 😔, not gonna happen again... 😂
