Happy Birthday!!

Last year, I was depreived of a birthday cake. Apparently, my Panget - forgot all about it. And so this year, I had to remind him to give me one. Two years ago, my Panget surprised me with a 'Didi' cake - I still keep the picture of it - because it was so cute, and because my Panget's sister-in-law told me how my Panget called her every single night to make kulit not to forget to make the cake, she said my Panget gave her explicit instructions on how the cake should turn out he was so hands on with the cake! It was a super cute cake! I love that cake to bits! Here's what it looked like:

Yesterday, I was expecting a simple cake - I told my Panget that Sugar House's Honey Cake or the good ol'reliable Hizon's Mocha Cake will do. I was expecting any of the two - but when he got to my house - he was holding a box - I'm assuming it's a cake. He told me that the cake is special. Hmm.. why was it special? Well, because in it was 2 flavors of cake! What's the rationale behind the 2 flavors? Well, since I have a twin brother - my Panget thought it would be nice if there were 2 different flavors of cake in the cake! His sister-in-law obliged of course, and what came out was a really nice combination. Since we were eating at Spiral at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza, I had put it in the ref first then sample it when I get back. But I couldn't help taking a quick look. My Panget insisted that I take a picture of the cake first - and I did. This is what it looks like:


When we got home after the delicious dinner at Spiral - I swear it has the best selection for a buffet! Too bad there were no more of the Vanilla Creme Brulee - apparently, they did not foresee that this dessert will be a favorite! As I sliced myself and my Panget a piece of the birthday cake he brought - I couldn't help but be amazed at it and try to figure out how she made such a cake! Brilliant!!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip s...
