Grilled Milkfish and Eggplant



The simplest and freshest foods are the ones found in the countryside.

Fresh fish catch from the sea.

Sweet vegetables, picked from the backyard.

Organic, they say. 

No artificial flavors.

The fish is moderately charred outside but really moist inside.

We also grilled eggplant and dip it with fish sauce.

Trust me, these foods are naturally sweet.

These are the simple joys of the countryside  that I've experience during my three days getaway in Baler, Aurora.
