Nilagang Mais (Boiled Corn)

Nilagang mais (boiled corn) is one of the favorite snacks here in the Philippines. 

There are different ways how the corn can be boiled:

1. With the husk and silk - you can find this often in the side street vendors

2. Remove the husk and silk - this is how we prefer it at home

3. Remove the cob - especially those being sold in the stalls. Then the corn is topped with powdered cheese.

Regardless how one boils the corn, the result is still simply delicious.

I really like it when I put some cheese spread on to the hot, hot, boiled japanese corn. I love the combination of mild sweetness and saltiness. Soo yummy!
