This is one of my favorite that I don’t eat that often. First, I want to eat it at a place where this is their specialty. Second, I am also concern with my health. Eating too much delicious food is also not good. Everything must be taken in moderation. I have tasted a number of Humba from the Visayas with different version. I tasted a version that was cooked in clay pot. It was also good. There is also the one that was cooked with its own oil and made it dried and crispy.
For this, I tasted it in one of my favorite restaurant in Davao. It is the Humba of Blue Carabao. Their version has a black beans and long green peppers. It does taste great with a little twist of spiciness. What I like with it is using the oil as your sauce to your rice. Take note, the oil is already tasty. This humba ritual is not good specially if you do it everyday and of course, eating at Blue Carabao will not be complete without Hinalang. That is another favorite that will surely make your day. This is a very spicy carabao soup that can give your appetite a boost.

Sobrang Anghang, Sobrang Sarap!!! This is the hinalang na manok that was serve to me during my stay in Bohol. It is chicken cooked in coconut milk with plenty of chili (bird’s eye pepper). For this culinary experience, native chicken was used that made it more delicious. This is one of the dish that I can say, the sauce goes very good with hot steamed rice. The blend of coconut milk and spiciness makes the sauce a viand in itself. “Sarsa pa lang, ulam na”. It was so delectable that I was able to eat plenty of rice.
Hinalang in the Visayas, means “spicy”. The technique in cooking is similar to chicken curry except that there is no curry powder and this is full of chilis. Since this was new to me, I had a very sumptuous meal without tinking of diet at least for a while. Hehe! By the way, It did went well with seafoods. Hinalang is truly a mouth-watering food that will surely perk you up. Thanks to my mother-in-law who prepared this dish for me. She knew that I was fun of eating spicy foods and dishes not new to me. If you want to have this, make sure you know someone from the Visayas or Minadanao who knows how to cook. I’m pretty sure they know how to prepare this super spicy food. Hang kaayo bai!!!

Hinalang
Halang in Visayas is Anghang ( Spicy). This is a soup dish that is super hot!!! Guarantee to make you sweat. This is how spicy this soup dish is. There’s plenty of ginger, siling labuyo, onions, carabao meat and other spices. The Hinalang of Blue Carabao is a sure fire to your mouth but is very delicious. As a first timer to this dish, what I can say is “sobrang sarap, at sobrang anghang”. The more you sip, the more you will be enticed to have it again and again. As one of their signature dish, this soup is always available everyday. If you are to observe the people who dine, this is one of the bestseller aside from their Pochero.
