Unluckily for me they were sold out of putong ube. Puto is steamed rice cake. Ube is purple yam. Putong ube isContinue reading “Putong Ube”

I Love Taho

I have a love/hate relationship with tofu or soybean. I don’t like eating silken (soft) tofu in Chinese dishes like ma po tofu. But I like fried tofu eaten straight or in casseroles like the popular chicken, tofu and salted fish in clay pot. I don’t like soymilk but I tried Silk chocolate soymilk thatContinue reading “I Love Taho”

Arny ♥ Dading’s Peachy Peachy

Everyone I know loves this dessert made of cassava. It’s a mainstay in potlucks and is a popular Filipino snack. A lot of stores and restaurants sell this but the best in my opinion is the one from Arny ♥ Dading’s Peachy Peachy. Finding their locations is not as easy though. The problem is whenContinue reading “Arny ♥ Dading’s Peachy Peachy”

Philippine Food Expo – Malunggay

Malunggay is a popular tree in the Philippines. In English it is called Moringa Oleifera. The leaves are highly nutritious, being a significant source of beta-carotene, Vitamin C, protein, iron and potassium. I think this is the year of the Malunggay. It’s being made into beverages, chips, noodles and even soap. Moringa powder can beContinue reading “Philippine Food Expo – Malunggay”

Philippine Food Expo – Pili Nuts

Pili nut products are abundant in the food fair. But for me the ‘best in show’ award goes to Wrapsody. These pilinut filled pastries taste like a cross between baklava and turon (fried bananas in lumpia wrapper). It may be quality control or whatever but in the box of 12 pastries that I bought someContinue reading “Philippine Food Expo – Pili Nuts”
