This Week in Weird: Sardinas Con Yelo? This Lockdown is Forcing Pinoys to Get Creative With Food

When you don’t have access to fresh seafood, you find ways
Fresh food is getting more difficult to buy these days what with long lines in supermarkets and most wet markets closed. This leaves us to do the next best thing — use our imagination. As in cut up a piece of hotdog to resemble a squid and do our best not to think of takoyaki. Or buttered shrimp. Or sushi.
Sinigang na hotdog, anyone?
Since it’s potentially dangerous to step outside these days (you can’t anyway because of the quarantine), you make do with what you have. Craving for sinigang? Sure, cook it. And you might as well boil the hotdogs in it while you’re at it.
Siomai rice, as plain as that
You really can’t be choosy these days. How about spicing up your meals by swapping meat with rice? Add little drops of toyomansi in for the plating so you look a little bougie.
Fitacepcion
Not gonna lie, we kinda threw up in our mouths a little. Pasintabi po sa mga kumakain habang nagbabasa.
Lumpiang sinaing
Think about it, you get to have lunch on the go. “On the go” of course means visiting different parts of your house.
Hotdog Couple
What is it with people, quarantine, and hotdogs?!
Tortang itlog with egg
Now that is just creative. This guy probably had too many eggs in their pantry than he knew what to do with.
GRAND FINALE: Sardinas con Yelo
This guy did something really
Now we’re looking forward to the next few days of quarantine meals!
What’s the craziest food invention you’ve seen lately?
