Asal


The Pic I got above is what I got from recently while going back to the dacha, for you otakus out there in all over the world the food being cooked in the picture is best described as barbecued chicken parts and organs, and barbecued bread,  the chicken organs are first cleaned thoroughly in boiling water before being cooked on the grill, next this are marinated in a combination of different spices and mixes depending on the preference of the seller, then they let it sit for a couple of hours or so before selling it. usually some of this who are really serious in this business starts their work in cleaning, marinating and keeping the chicken parts to be barbecued  usually starts somewhere 10 in the morning to do this stuffs and then let the chicken sit for around 4 hours. the finished products are sold around 3 in the afternoon here in the city.. next a barbecue sauce is prepared usually it is made from any ingredients the one cooking it can have an idea to, such as soy sauce, cooking oil, ketchup, and so is mixed with spices such as laurel leaves, ginger, garlic, etc. then it  brushed on the barbecued chicken parts while being cooked to enhance the flavor. barbecued bread is a bread called pandesiosa or similar bread sold in local bakeshops which is inserted into bamboo sticks and cooked gently under the grill and brushed with the same barbecue sauce used on the chicken parts until the bread turns light brown but not burned, which goes great with the asal. unlike the asal in lzuon, asal delicacies in Negros and Bacolod do not need to be dipped in sweet or spicy sauces like tagalogs prefer, illongos like to eat this straight and also it can go as a hearty dinner if the scenario requires..

here are some parts of the chicken being sold as barbecued (asal) delicacies:

isol(e-sol) - chicken butt
atay(ah-tay) - chicken liver
batikolon(batey-kohlun) - chicken gizzard
li-ug/og - chicken neck
adidas - chicken feet
tina-e(tina-ei) - chicken stomach
dugo (dou-gu) - chicken blood

and so many more!
 hope our otaku friends from all over the world get to know this kind food from Negros!
