” enjoyed your palayok post. It triggered warm childhood memories growing up. My sister and I love playing house and cook in our small “baby” palayoks in the backyard. I can still taste and smell the burnt rice and watery soup we made. Definitely nothing gourmet, but those were the best tasting rice and soup in my eyes. “… the same memories I had in the province!!! If you are in Bicol, TIWI., Albay is the place to buy palayoks and paso for the plants.

Hmm, makes me want to pick up a palayok next time I visit. The only experience I had with palayok was playing with the miniature palayok set we bought in front of the Antipolo church. We cooked Santan leaves and flowers in water. Good thing that we didn’t burn the house down. LOL

My mom, until now cooks sinaing na tambakol in a palayok, cooked slowly over firewood. My friend and i used to devour it after swimming , you can imagine how much rice we eat with it, complimented with kamatis, calamansi and patis, haaay….. those were the days when you care less how much rice you eat and sodium you ingest.

When I was in college, my sister & I went to visit my lola’s old house in Cebu. All the cooking there was done via woodfire & palayok. My sister was really excited to cook this way, so she volunteered to do the rice. As she tried to get the fire going, she blew into the fire with that little bamboo tube (I don’t know what it’s called). Next thing we saw was a cloud of ash right in her face!*P it was like something out of an ai-ai delas alas movie.
