MAJA BLANCA CAKE

Maja Blanca Cake Tart Good morning everyone( or evening depending under what palm tree you are reading this post) and Happy Birthday! Who's birthday? Depends on specific cases ( Happy Bday Ate A and Gabrielle (counting that you'll be a Feb. baby, people born this month are the best!), but mostly generic we should celebrate the best day of all, Women's Day, on March 1st! Why the best? Because it's well known they always bring the best ( or worst ) in us ( but for this specific occasion we shall assume it's the best! ), and as such I have researched deep inside my endless bucket of inspiration for an appropriate gift. Not having found one and considering that flowers are overrated, I shall give you the best gift of all: the gift of knowledge, as I shall bake the best cake ever, using an old filipino recipe and my best unique ideas for an astonishing end result that I shall eat all alone while you cheer Sarap, Sarap !

TUNA SISIG

Tuna Sisig Dear diary. What is love? No, not the song, the feeling.

Normally, sisig is a filipino dish prepared using pig face as ingredient ( yuuuuuk!!) but since that sounds (not) extremely romantic and you would...

TORTANG GINILING

TORTANG GINILING (Meat Omelet) Halo halo everyone and what's up duude! As you know , last week Canada officially traded the maple leaf to it's shape resembling greener cousin you can also smoke, so we're on the way of becoming more eco friendly soon. This made me think I need to include more vegetables in my diet as per R's recommendation of becoming hotter at least since rich is not an option ( yet ). That's why I took a long look in my fridge and reflected on the past , present and future of the world as we know it, and computed that since i'm a bit lazy I shall chose a mix of my favorite ingredients in the world, eggs ( potatoes are still sharing the podium but not today. And yes, they are vegetables). Alright, so looking at the super short list of available components and seeing the word mix written in front... mix of ..eggs.. it give me the greatest idea ever: we shall cook an omelette! Nope, not du fromage, but as a quick google on filipino egg recipes...
