#PanlaSarap Five Ways to Cook Tocino

Tocino is a much-loved food across the globe. It is popular in the Caribbean, Latin America, and most parts in Asia. But of course, we all know how popular it is in the Philippines.

With its savory sweet taste and reddish hue, the Pinoy tocino is a go-to meal for Pinoys, especially tosilog (tocino + sinangag + itlog). With that in mind, Mekeni has two delicious variants of tocino that suit the different #PanlaSarap. If you like it sweet, the Mekeni Classic Tocino is for you, but if you're after that tamis-alat blend, there's Mekeni Pork Tocino.


Here are five #PanlaSarap ways to prepare your fave tocino:

Wrap it like a burrito! This is perfect especially if you only have a short time to grab a bite. Simply scoop tocino bits in your tortilla, add rice mixture (with tomatoes, cilantro, or anything you want to add), wrap it, seal it, and you have your Tocino Burrito. Yum!

Add some KDrama-feel to your tocino by making your own Tocino Bibimbap. The tamis-alat or even the classic sweet taste of tocino will perfectly complement the spicy gochujang paste. Mashisoyo!

Have your piece of Japan right at home with Tocino Tonkatsu. Dip the tocino strips with egg batter and coat with panko bread crumbs and deep fry. Serve with wasabi-mayo dip for that added Japanese touch.

Salad greens with tocino bits. Healthy and savory at the same time. Add some tocino bits on your salad greens, add tangy dressing, and toss. 

Of course, you can still prepare your tocino the traditional way and pair it with a warm bowl of white rice or fried rice, whichever you prefer. 

Mekeni tocino is available in Mekeni Home2Home delivery, online stores, groceries, and supermarkets nationwide. The Mekeni Classic Sweet Tocino and Tamis-Alat Pork Tocino comes in 220g and 450g packs.

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!
