Sarciadong Hiwas refers to one of the dishes from the Philippines made from Pritong Hiwas (Fried Moonfish) cooked in sauteed crushed garlic, chopped onions and tomatoes or tomato sauce. When cooked, Binating Itlog (scrambled or beaten eggs) is often added towards the end of cooking.
Sarciado also spelled as Sarsiado means cooked with a thick sauce.
Any kind of fried fish can be made into Sarciado and 2 of my favorite fishes made into Sarciado are Galunggong (Mackarel Scad) and Hiwas (Moonfish)
In Europe, because I find it hard to find fresh fish, I use frozen filleted fish like Cod and Pangasius to make a Sarciado and I think it is still enjoyed by everyone I cook for
Sawmill Gravy refers to the traditional gravy from the Southern part of the United States which is often served with biscuits, sausages, meat patties and eggs. It is made from milk or cream, meat drippings and flour and salt and pepper to taste.
Sawmill Gravy is also known as Cream Gravy.
During my roadtrip in 2016 in the USA. This Sawmill Gravy became a part of my breakfast meal with those delicious and interesting Biscuits. I did not encounter any motel or hotel where we stopped for breakfast seeing Biscuits without the Sawmill Gravy on the side.
Here below on the lower right side of my plate was a Biscuit covered with Sawmill Gravy. It is one my interesting breakfasts in a traditional diner when we were already nearby Forthworth, Texas.
Sampinit a red fruit being sold in San Pablo City, Laguna market in March so probably they are available during summer months, the seller said it is called "Raspberries" in English.

Sampinit fruit is said to be good source of phythochemicals that helps fight the growth of cancer cells and development of Alzheimer's.
This exotic fruit is too rare. I have visited a lot of Wet markets (Palengke) around the Philippines and I only saw them sold in San Pablo City Market in Laguna. Unfortunately, I do not dare to taste fruits which is too foreign to me, especially when the weather is too hot.
Raspberries is also called in Filipino as Prambuwesas.
