You Know You're From Bacolod, Philippines If...Gakaon ka man "But-ong"!



"But-ong" is like "Ibos" ~ only, it is wrapped in banana leaf.
It is made of plain rice and sometimes a combination of plain rice & sticky rice cooked in just water,
or with a generous amount of gata (coconut milk) & water.


This is what I had for breakfast today ~
native "But-ong" & a cup of Kanlaon Organic Coffee:
hmm, perfect combination?! ♥




Negros Island Rainforest Organic Coffee ~
Mt. Kanlaon premium blend

If you want to taste Organic Coffee with a premium blend of Arabica & Robusta boosting out a superb aroma, why don’t you try the Negros Island Rainforest Organic Coffee?

It is Organic Coffee naturally grown in Negros Island & now available in the market.
Launched through the Negros Island Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development Foundation Inc.,
the Rainforest Coffee is produced without the use of chemicals and pesticides.

The Organic Coffee is made from selectively handpicked Red Coffee Cherries by the rural forest dwellers in Negros Island following the strict quality control system for Organic Coffee Production.
It is freshly picked, dried, sorted and stored by farming communities in the mountains of Negros.

Organic Farming practices promote shade grown coffee trees resulting in the increase of forest covers,
at the same time protecting the water shed areas that provide clean water source to Negros Island.
As the coffee beans mature more slowly in the shade, natural sugars increase and enhance the flavor of the coffee giving it an intense taste of goodness.
Most and foremost, organically grown products helps prevent soil erosion, reduces Green House Gas emissions, foster farm crop diversification and provides habitat to the native animal species, all of which benefits us ~ the people of Negros.

With every cup of Negros Rainforest that we drink,
we don’t only help the lives of those farmers but we also help ourselves value the best of nature’s products from our very own Island of Negros.
