Busog Meal | Bopis

In the middle of work sometimes you don’t have the time already to ponder and think what you’ll have for lunch. Most of the times you’ll just end up at 7 Eleven and don’t know what you have in mind, and then decided to grab whatever is in their freezer shelf. Usually, if it’s a Saturday there’s not much going on for the reason they don’t have restocks of your favourite rice meal or the ones you want to try it out. Sometimes, the ones that are hardly noticed might broaden your perspective in-between being on the go. 7 Eleven’s Busog Meal is mostly unnoticed because of being the food for individuals who are in a rush and have no time to choose the dish they want that so they go and grab something like a Filipino dish called Bopis.

“Bopis” traces its roots to the Spanish times of the Philippines, and it’s entire history or origin has been lost. It is a piquant dish of pork or beef lungs and heart sautéed in tomatoes, chilies and onions. The name itself is Spanish in origins, but the full detailed history has been lost a long time ago.

Instant Lunch

Just like most of the “Busog Meal,” they’re either packaged in a microwavable tub or box that can easily warmed. There’s no need to prepare for anything and most of the other cuisine under this range has a dark green motif to how they are categorized as an affordable meal to have that is more common than the other premium

Just Common

The dish is one of the common dishes you see being offered by food stalls, and it is similar with the Giniling or Sisig that 7 Eleven has offered. There’s nothing much to describe the meal other than being spicy was underrated and nothing special. But it is sometimes one of the few go to meals to have when you’re pressed for time.

Overall not the most desirable and interesting aesthetic when it comes to the image you see about a Bopis on top of white steamed rice. It is good, but not as what you’d expect to hope for. But it is a good quick meal before going about your day.
