• brown butter pulboron (polvoron)

  

  Making pulboron will always take me back to the memory of how my lola (grandmother) first introduced them to us. I was about 4 or 5 and my lola showed us her pulboron mold in our kitchen and from there just started to make them right in front of us. It was almost like watching […]

• ube mochi muffins

  

  These mochi muffins came together so easily that out of all the ube things I’ve made in the last two weeks, these quickly jumped to the number one spot in my head right away in terms of taste, ease of recipe, and overall satisfaction. If you’ve never used glutinous rice flour before, you’re in for […]

• pandan lime snack cake

  

  First, I wanted to address the name. I really wrestled with what to call this, probably more than a normal food blogger should, but I’ve been seeing the term “snack cake” used to describe cakes that look like this. Wiki describes “snack cake” as a baked dessert confectionery made with cake and icing, but I’m wondering if […]

• ube marble bread

  

  This is my third attempt at ube bread. Ube is a Filipino purple yam, used in many Filipino desserts, usually as fillings, ice cream flavors, cheesecake, cookies, breads and rolls, etc. Usually in Filipino Bakeries, if something is called ube bread, it’s a soft yeast bread, like a brioche dough, with swirls of sweetened ube. I decided to […]

• cassava cake with macapuno

  

  I know what you are thinking. “Um…this is not a cake.”  I kinda agree. These are more like bars to me. But not anytime while I was growing up did I hear anyone call them bars. It’s always been called cassava cake. I was tempted to call them “cassava bars” here. But I feel I need to […]

• Pan De Sal

  I’m still with family, not in my kitchen, so there are limits to what I can do. It may be a couple more weeks before I can get back to my kitchen. But…I just wanted to update that I finally made a couple of batches of Pan de Sal. I used this recipe. Pan de […]
