FOOD FINDS: Dried Mango Chocolate

These lovelies came all the way from Cebu and lovingly hand-carried by a friend who indulges my foodie cravings. Actually, she is also a foodie-at-heart so she knows what its like to be on the lookout for new food products, delicacies, restaurants, etc. And since Cebu is known for its dried mangoes, there's a new craze in town and these are the chocolate covered dried mangoes. My friend got these from the airport before flying to Manila. Thanks much!

Filipino Cuisine at Sentro 1771

Lunch yesterday was at Sentro 1771 in Serendra. The restaurant has an array of mouth-watering Filipino dishes to offer including its famous Sinigang na Corned Beef that began the Filipino Cuisine evolution from traditional to modern. We dined at the Serendra branch yesterday to check out the new dishes on the menu and also got to meet Chef Vicky Pacheco. Wow!

RECIPE: Dory In Mango Cream Sauce

When I cook, I just let my creativity flow- like when I write stories (before). And I make use of whatever ingredients I have in the house. So to cut the long story short, I bought a pack of cream dory from the grocery and then I found some ripe mangoes in the fridge. And the rest is history --- I mean, the food is in our tummies now. ;)

Ingredients:

cream dory, 500g (cut into desired portions)

ripe mangoes, 2 (cube)

ginger, 2 tbsp (slivers)

cream, 1/4 or less 

olive oil

ground black pepper

salt

water

Pajo

These green jewels costs a lot since it is not in season the whole year and I'm guessing there's not much Pajo Trees around nowadays.
