Buko-strawberry ice cream and diced mangoes

Serving ice cream with pieces of fresh fruits is nothing new. Peach melba and banana split are only some of the more common ways of doing it. I was really tempted to go all the way and add whipped cream and strawberry syrup to my midday snack but I didn’t want an overkill. Just the [...]

Ripe and sweet Philippine mangoes

It’s almost summer and mangoes are getting more abundant in the markets. For someone who absolutely loathes the hot and humid summer months, mangoes are a serious consolation.

If you are a Filipino who used to live in the Philippines but now living in a cold country, you probably miss the ripe, juicy and sweet mangoes [...]

Butter-fried chicken with basil

Sometimes, getting disappointed with restaurant food makes me a little more imaginative than usual. Like that time when PinoyBlog had its Christmas party at Cabalen restaurant and the food was just awful. The following day, I came up with a brand new recipe for sinangag.
Last Wednesday evening, I was out with a girl friend, [...]

Japanese-style beef and cabbage stir fry

I don’t know what it is about combining garlic, ginger, light soy sauce and sugar but this has got to be one of the most perfect combinations of seasonings and spices.

It was actually a late lunch that overlapped with breakfast. We had a very hectic weekend and the kids got up really, really late today. The pandan-flavored [...]

Reader and Pinoy blogger Richard, on the other hand, commented that there were other variations of the recipe. He wrote: “almost close or maybe cousins to this [...]

Pandan macaroons

We were in the supermarket the other night and discovered new products from Pillsbury–strawberry and pandan flavored pancakes. The box of the pandan flavored pancakes had a recipe for pandan macaroons using a mixture of pancake mix and dessicated coconut. I considered following the recipe to make pandan macaroons but finally decided against it. I [...]

Colette’s buko (coconut) pie

Time was when we had to go all the way to Laguna to buy a decent buko (coconut) pie. It used to be one of my childhood’s guilty pleasures, an excuse, really, to go on a road trip with my father. Colette’s, based in San Pablo City in the province of Laguna, was not the [...]
