Pinaputok na Tiyan ng Bangus

What body parts of a man {or a woman} attract you the most and why? Me? It’s usually the smile that gets me….then the eyes….then the shoulders. I like men who smile a lot.

Like Ronald McDonalds for instance. Yes, I know, he’s a clown but can you see his smile?? jeez. It makes me buy Big Macs a lot. When I’m in the mood, there would be extra apple pie too…hee.

When peanutbutter flashed me his killer smile, my heart melted. His smile is attached to his eyes. His eyes smile too when he smiles. And those shoulders?? It’s so comfortable to be inside his arms, you would want to wake up in it every morning. The thing is, he is allergic to my hair so we don’t usually sleep that way. My hair makes his face itchy. It’s unromantic.

Since we are getting to the unromantic part, let’s just talk about milkfish belly. That’s my favorite part in milkfishes. Why? because it’s the most flavorful and tasty part and it has the least fishbone.

Pinaputok na Tiyan ng Bangus or  literally translated, means Fired/ Popped Milkfish Belly. I don’t know why this dish is called as such. It may have to do with the banana leaves producing popping sounds when it is being fried in hot oil. This time, I didn’t fry the fish, though, I baked it in the oven. I’m still on this health kick thing… sometimes.
