Mushroom Burger, Mushroom Chips, and Fermented Rice From the Locals
Happy Friday!
It is Market Friday again by @dswigle! We are now in the last month of the year. Time flies so fast, right? I just noticed that the more I get older, the faster the time feels. Am I the only one?
Last time, we went hiking in the mountains of our province. It is a relief to see some nature after a week of work and screens. Our eyes are always glued to those damn machines. We sit for long hours, forgetting to straighten up our backs. A perfect way to break this cycle is to get some fresh air from the mountains!
We went early for the day. We brought our water tumbler and shades with us. As we were on the way, we saw this little burger shop at the foot of the mountain. It is interesting that a local is selling mushroom burgers.
We parked on the side of the road to get some. We can just smell the fried patties a few feet away. Ahh~ the aroma is just so inviting.
The lady was the only one doing the cooking on the small stall. She had the brightest smile for the day. I love meeting cheerful and full spirit people. They just make the day better, don't they?
She handed me a laminated paper where the orders are listed. They also sell some mushroom products that were not on the list. She told us that they also sell mushroom pizza, rice wine, and fermented rice.
I noticed that some of the items on the menu were covered with white tape. Probably because of inflation, they have to change prices.
We ordered the mushroom burger with egg and cheese. In addition to that, as a support to the locals, we also bought fermented rice and mushroom chips.
The nice lady started to put oil in her small burger griller. The griller is enough to cook 3 burgers at the same time. I was just watching her as she cracks the egg perfectly. It was just satisfying to watch, hehe.
As she was frying, I asked her where did they get those mushrooms for consumption. She said that they grow it in their backyard and sometimes, they go to their land on the highlands to get some. She said that they also sell mushroom patties. I was so amazed at how locals are so sustainable. These mushrooms are organic and free from pesticides. I will choose this any day over the commercialized Mcdonald's cheeseburger.
This is fermented rice. I forgot to ask what is the local name of this delicacy. It was displayed on the tables provided for the customers. Per tub costs $1.08, which is 60 Philippine pesos.
I asked a friend of mine who is very knowledgeable about local food. I asked him what is the local name for fermented rice. @eunoia101 told me that it is called "tapoy". We lived in the same region so basically, he knows everything about agriculture and local stuff. A blessing for me who did live 3/4s of my life in the city.
The mushroom burgers were served after 20 minutes. I understand that the nice lady is the only one doing all the work so I do not mind waiting long. The smell was so amazing! My mistake was I bite too soon I burned my tongue, ugh what a bummer. That is what I get for not letting it cool first, haha!
After eating, we decided to buy their mushroom chips. They are also the ones who made this product. Apparently, they use oyster mushrooms for the chips. The chips were a bit bland for me, perhaps it needs a litte bit of salt or a vinegar dip. The mushroom chips cost $1.44, which is 80 Philippine peso.
We were so stuffed with mushroom burgers and chips. I was so happy that we tried this local food, and we were able to support the locals.
We paid for our food and we said goodbye to the lady. We wished that the next time we go hiking again, we will have some mushroom burgers again.
That is it for this blog. I will see you at the next one!

I wonder how the mushroom chips tasted and the fermented rice too. We do not have that kind of products here.
The chips tasted like a sweetpotato, but it was bland for me. The fermented rice taste like a rice with vinegar, it has a distinct smell too.
Dami foods ah..
Mushroom has a lot to offers actually burger was just one of the list hehe, there was mushroom sisig, mushroom kropeks and even mushroom ice cream yieee, excited to taste each of them? marry me hahaha
Can I taste your mushroom too? I saw some of your posts about your mushroom, so big!
I would love to eat those burgers too and I agree better than any of fast food chains....
I was curious about that fermented rice...so how does it taste?

Gosh! Love the mushroom burger and mushroom chips. I haven't eaten a mushroom chips though. I cannot imagine the exact taste. Haha. The good thing about this is that it was organic.
I tasted earthy onion, haha! It was delicious!
The mushroom burgers look yummy in the picture I could also smell them! Haven't tried eating burgers on my hike not tried the mushroom burgers.
It must be very delicious.!
It has this earthy aroma 🤤 it was worth the wait since the lady is the only one managing the stall. 😊
Oh how I like mushrooms. This is my first time seeing a burger mushroom.
It's mouthwatering. Do they have a branch anywhere in the city?
Unfortunately I think they do not have. It is a small local business in our province. I am hoping that one day her business will have branches in the future.
Hoping and praying. Hehe
Wow! I am sure you had a great time then. Yummy burgers too. Perfect for a hungry stomach. Stay safe and God bless.
Thanks amoreyl! Super delish! My fam and I enjoyed every bite. 😊
mushroom chips???? I wanna try! sana magkaron nyan dito samen.
Yeah, it is a rare find for us. I have not eaten mushroom burger in a long time. The last one is from a restaurant. I prefer this locally made. 😊
Mushroom burgers sounds like a good plan after a long walk. They look good, I hope you enjoyed it :)
Hey, Laura! How's it going? 😊 Truly enjoyed every munch of this yummy mushroom burger. 😊 Thanks for dropping by!
Ngayon ko lang nalaman 'yung mushroom chips haha. It's rare for me hahaha
You should try it! It is healthier that pork chicharon, hehe. Magandang alternative.
Oh!!! Mushroom burgers! How delightful! I can smell them from here. What a wonderful treat to come upon! Mcdonald's would be my very last choice, by the way. I have eaten in there less than a dozen times in my life and it's terrible.
I have never had mushroom chips but, they sure do sound interesting. I have to agree with you. Salt makes the world go round, doesn't it? Along with garlic and onions. :)
You have me wanting to seek out a mushroom burger now! Oh! Maybe I can make one? Oh!!!! Thanks for that thought! I love happy people! They just make life so much better~! Thanks for being a part of #MarketFriday!
I enjoy learning about the world and how it is to live in your corner of it, and if there are solutions to making it better in any way. I find it interesting to compare, not by the world's standards, but, by how we find the quality of our life with different indicators than the world does. It is not always about the wealth in money, sometimes money means very little when there is no value behind it. You cannot buy health although you can take care of what you have. Being educated isn't always about schooling, but acquiring knowledge and using it for the better good and happiness of the society you are living in. It is with great pleasure that I read through this and all of the posts, with these thoughts in mind.
Don't miss the small things in your life, they usually make no noise but can be indicators of bigger things. I enjoy learning more about you and hope you feel the same, that is why I find it important to take the time to read a couple of #MarketFriday posts and leave a genuine comment. It is important for a community to do this, learning about others, and getting to know each other. The fun is in getting to know people and making a positive contribution to community life. All this fun and money too. What is not to love? That is one of the reasons I joined Hive. How about you? :) I leave you with the guidelines. I hope you are having an amazing week!
