Ukoy


Cooked some Ukoy the other day, its a Filipino favorite..
For me, Binan in Laguna, southern Philippines makes some of the tastiest street ukoys..

Its made of eggs, flour, ground pork, lots of garlic, onions, mongo sprouts, instead of shrimp i used chopped squidballs..and of course salt and pepper..

Seen here with garlic rice and Achara another filipino favorite, pickled papaya, sugar, vinegar and hot chili..

Shot with a Canon 20d and Sigma 50mm f2.8 EX DG macro..f2.8 1/10sec

Lighted with a single 22w spiral daylght CFL with a diffused dish reflector placed at the back, above and to the right of the plate..2 foamboards in front both sides of the camera were used to light up the shadows in front..
