RECIPE: TKG's Brownie Balls with Cointreau Infused Cranberries

We may still be quarantined inside our homes but that doesn't mean we have to let go of our love for food. And if there's something positive that happened in our new normal, I'd say that most people (including me) have discovered the simple joys of spending more time in the kitchen.


Here's my take on a classic brownie recipe made special with Cointreau.



Ingredients:

Flour, 1 1/2 cups
Un-sweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup
Sugar, 1/2 cup (better if powdered sugar)
Butter, 1/2 cup softened
Eggs, 2 medium
Cranberries, 3 tbsp chopped
Cointreau, 3-5 tbsp (or just enough to soak the cranberries)

1. Soak the cranberries in Cointreau for at least 6 hours (better if overnight).
2. Mix flour, cocoa and sugar together.
3. Add eggs to the flour mixture and mix well.
4. Add the softened butter to the mixture by gently folding it into the batter.
5. Add the cranberries.
6. Grease the brownie pan (or in my cause I used a mini-muffin pan) with butter.
7. Heat oven to 200'F and set timer for 20 mins.
8. Place pan in oven and watch Netflix.
9. Bon appetit!

Yield: 36 brownie balls

NEW RESTO ALERT: Saigosan in Uptown Mall

Konnichiwa Saigosan! A new and funky izakaya recently opened at Uptown Mall headed by Chef Chris Oronce. This izakaya not only serves delectable dishes but is also a visual-feast. Inspired by animes, mangas, and JPop culture, Saigosan even has a train wherein you can hop from Kyoto to Osaka without a JR Pass! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow! 

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.
