The old Magnolia Ice Cream House
The Magnolia Ice Cream House along Aurora Boulevard in Quezon City was a childhood habit. On most visits, I would order peach melba. My brother preferred banana split. Except for the fruits that went with the ice cream, there really wasnÕt much difference between the two. They both had three scoops of ice cream topped [...]

No waste chicken and rice meal
A whole chicken was the one and only item left in our freezer this morning–a clear reminder that we had to go either to the wet market or the supermarket later in the day. I was actually dreaming of lechon kawali but it would have to wait. As it was a week ago when I [...]

Steamed chicken breast fillets, black chinese mushrooms and Pinoy Cook’s salsa verde
Remember my version of salsa verde, that wonderful cross between the traditional salsa verde and the Italian pesto? Since it was made from leftover ginger-peanut oil sauce that accompanied steamed white chicken, I thought I’d combine it with the classic Chinese steamed chicken and mushrooms dish to come up with something new. The result [...]

Dampa sa Libis
In consonance with the 2005 Independent Food Festival & Awards, I have chosen Dampa sa Libis as ÒThe Best Eatery serving all-Filipino food in Metro ManilaÓ.
Dampa sa Libis isnÕt your ordinary carinderia (eatery). It is actually a series of eateries with its own wet market. Inspired by the original Dampa at the coastal seafood [...]

Roast chicken asado
A whole chicken is marinated for at least twenty-four hours to prepare it for roasting. Meat is braised in a salty-sweet sauce to make asado. I combined the two to create a new way of cooking roast whole chicken. I call it roast chicken asado.
The chicken is actually cooked twice. It is boiled before [...]

Dressed up turon at ‘Banana Na!’
We hadnÕt had any dinner yet when we arrived at RobinsonÕs Metro East last Wednesday evening to see The Phantom of the Opera. The plan was to bring in some sandwiches and drinks. While my husband went to buy the sandwiches and drinks, the kids and I inspected the food stalls on the aisles trying [...]

Dan Eric’s: ice cream without corporate pricing
WeÕre not ice cream cup people. What I mean is that we prefer to buy our ice cream in half gallon containers rather than in cups or waffle cones with fancy toppings. There was a time when I considered buying a home ice cream maker. I had two reasons: 1) Magnolia ice cream was already [...]

Talakitok belly and corn chowder
I grilled a huge fish belly for dinner yesterday but hubby came home with a mango cream pie from Red Ribbon before dinner was ready. We ended up eating the pie before dinner. Naturally, we had leftovers. Instead of cooking a new dish from scratch for today’s lunch and the kids’ packed school lunch, I [...]
