Bibingka

This is not the usual bibingka that you can buy during the Christmas season. I first tasted this bibingka sometime in 2005 when my daughter's classmate who happens to hail from Ilocos gave us a box. At first glance, I thought its kalamay since it looks like a kalamay. But then, they pointed out that its bibingka. Okay, okay. Bibingka or kalamay or if this kakanin goes by other name in other parts of the Philippines, I don't have any problem with that since I like it very much. Very delicious especially if its cold (from the fridge).

Luckily, I don't have to travel all the way to Ilocos because this happens to be the specialty in Cainta where my cousin lives. So every now and then whenever there's a family gathering, she would bring boxes and boxes of bibingka. Kain na!

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
