In the galley, every meal prepared is more than just a food to fill the stomach. It is a source of strength, comfort, and connection with home. For a better wellbeing onboard, one needs to have a meal which is wholesome, appealing and nourishing. Nourishment comes from the balance of nutrients; taste of the food comes from the hearty ingredients, cooking techniques and emotions. Among Filipino favourites, one dish that stands out for its warmth and nourishment is Almondigas, a simple yet hearty soup made with meatballs, misua, and patola.
Almondigas is nutritionally balanced with pork which provides protein for muscle strength, misua gives quick energy, and patola offers vitamins and fibre for digestion. A warm bowl of soup connects crew to home, easing stress and boosting morale. It also increases the fluid intake and helps seafarers stay hydrated, especially in hot, humid environments.
