BUYING READY-TO-EAT FOOD IN THE STORE IS NOT SO GOOD IDEA

This evening, I was feeling a little lazy and I decided to buy the foods for tonight's meal. I often do the cooking but I guess my adventurous side took over my senses. Our hour is just few blocks away form a small carenderia. Carenderia means a small food store. This is very hit in small town because there are many carenderia around to do the cooking. Locals will just buy their viand and rice in these carenderias and everything will be okay. A carenderia is the best source of ready-to-buy foods.

I am not discriminating the way foods are cooked in a carenderia, especially when I know the cook in the store. There are also carenderias that do excellent cooking, especially native recipe that is local in the area. Prices of foods in carenderia is cheaper than chef controlled restaurant and even hotels. That makes the carenderia the most in demand store in town.

When I went to the nearest carenderia to buy my food, I looked at their dishes covered in pans. I bought adobong manok and baboy, fish stew, and beef caldereta. I was very curious on the way their food tasted. I saw many locals eating in the carenderia and thank God they did not noticed that I am a chef.

As I placed the food in the table for eating. I noticed that there were some unusual taste in the viands that I bought. I think there were some spices missing in the foods that were prepared in the carenderia. I guess cooking is relevant to the one who is doing the cooking. But their food is clean and edible. Buying foods in the carenderia is good when you are in a hurry. But when you still got the time to cook, I suggest that you do the cooking.
