Bakareta, once tasted always always...

When i first heard the word bakareta, I was bewildered. What does it mean? The first thing that came into my mind was that of detergent soap(BARETA).. Or is it really?! Anyhow, without knowing what it meant, I tagged along with my colleagues. We came to this place just before the Tintay Jeep Terminal in Talamban. And there I saw a lot of people in all walks of life, finding themselves in getting a spot lest they be left standing. There were construction workers bringing along with them their rice baon, the executives alighting from their cars in a hurry, and students, mostly from USC shouting humay(rice) or mais(corn rice) whichever they preferred.

My friends quickly ordered bakareta, and 2 cups of humay. I also did the same. I got chillies and pressed them into the soup. I also mixed a lemonsito and tugnos(ginamos/fermented fish) and the good thing is it's free and my favorite too. I quickly helped myself sucking the meat bone-dry, and immediately sweat poured from my forehead. I asked for another bowl of soup and another extra rice; this time it's corn rice. I unbuttoned my shirt and unfastened my belt as I ate. The food tasted so good I couldn't help it. I downed 5 cups of rice in one sitting and I didn't even notice. Haha. Awesome.

Now I know that bakareta means "baka-kaldereta with free ginamos and surely more than a cup of rice or corn". If you want to eat there, you might want to go as early as 10am so as to avoid the rush. They are only open from mon-sat 10am-1pm. The food is great but they don't have beer nor wine; the price is very cheap; the place, hmmm not so great. Bring your own utensils if you can.
