Then, Mayette casually asked if I would like to try “sawa”. Hmmm… exotic food. Of all animals, I am most afraid of snakes. Just looking at it sends me shivers and goose bumps. I thought though, this one is cooked. Its dead… I have power over it! So I gave it a yes!
Snake is not actually readily available in the city, though it is a pretty common type of meat that they cook at home. Her husband bought the snake from Carmen Davao del Norte. Here you go… Adobong Sawa!
What can I say? Taste like chicken! Hahahahahahaha. Pretty much a hybrid of chicken and tuna meat actually, a boney version of it. No weird smell, no yucky texture. ☺
To end the snake meal off…I went back to the familiar realm and had sans rival – their best seller. I must admit, I am not easily pleased when it comes to desserts, this one though is well done! Crisp airy meringue with a generous sprinkling of cashew nuts and a buttercream layer that’s just right. Something I’d recommend and would actually come back for ;)
