yum yum! I love grilled corn! I grew up in Manila but I’m now based in Cebu. The first time I saw grilled corn on the streets of Cebu 12 years ago, I screamed “wow! INIHAW NA MAIS!” All my friends stared horridly at me and laughed. Apparently “inihaw or ihaw” here in Cebu means to slaughter or kill (the pig, chicken or any livestock). There definitely ain’t no bloody corn around. When in Cebu, the politically correct term would be “Sinugbang Mais”. :)

I will definitely try your version with paprika and chili powder. thanks!

I grew up with the white, sticky, native corn and i can eat 4 pcs all by myself. Boiled, grilled, in corn soup with sauteed garlic, onions, fish sauce, and sili leaves thrown on. Comfort food.

My lola used to make pinoy corn soup with pork bits fried till crunchy (like chicharon) and ampalaya leaves. Yum!

Thanks MM! I love grilled corn. It brings back childhood memories when our maid would bring me some grilled native white corn from the market when she does the weekly food purchase.

I also like grilled corn but I prefer grilled native corn (the white one) though hard to find nowadays. I also love boiled corn (plain or as ingridient in beef nilaga) and the pinoy corn soup. I said Pinoy Corn Soup because my grand mother used to prepare corn soup, made of grated white corn with shrimps (I can’t remember but I know it’s shrimp)and leaves of sili. That soup is not thick and very delicious.

Another fast & easy microwave tip:

Thoroughly wet a paper towel then wrap around a fresh picked corn. Stick in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Voila! talk about fast, hassle free and tasty treat.
