After Puasa...

Shop at More Food Adventures

After the Holy Week puasa, or no meat meals, finally, we had these yummy viands on our table.. We usually eat Lauya or stewed pork during this time, but we decided to have Chicken Pork Adobo and Pork Kaldereta... 

These two pork recipes are quite the usual fair when we visit our parents' house, simply because everyone loves to cook these two.. It was my sister who cooked them respectively.. 

All I can say is that, they were both delicious.. Yum!

Holy Week Delights

Shop at More Food Adventures

Holy Week treats that are usually in every Filipino homes are Benignit or Ginataang Bilo-bilo or Ginataang Halo-halo in Tagalog. For those who do not know it, or are not familiar with it, it consists of a thick mixture of tubers such as taro, purple yam, sweet potato, as well as bananas, jack fruit,  sago, tapioca pearls and sugar, cooked in coconut milk and thickened with milled glutinous rice. It's a warm root crop and fruit stew that everyone loves to eat, in lieu of a complete meal during the Holy Week. Personally, I like my Benignit cold, where it has just come right out from the refrigerator.

Aside from Benignit, there is also Biko, another glutinous rice treat that Filipinos love.

And of course, there is suman too..

So what did you have during the Holy Week?

Lunch on Maundy Thursday

Shop at More Food Adventures

Okay..okay.. and I thought we won't be eating a full meal on Holy Week... Well, people in the house agreed on a NO PORK/MEAT meal.. So we had Ginataang Mongo with Fish Flakes and Malunggay...

At least this one, Ginataang Mongo with Fish Flakes and Malunggay, is good for the health, lol.. Another vegetable dish is the Radish Salad that is everyone's favorite...  

Radish Salad is best paired with Fried Fish, any kind of fish will do.. and you get the same yumminess in the partnership--- 

And because it was hot even this early morning, we thought of cooling everything down with Selecta Cornetto... 

Twas a great meal..

Del Monte Prune Juice..

Shop at More Food Adventures

I have not been taking vitamin C as the one I had been taking makes me hungry all the time. So I substituted with Vitamin C rich drinks and fruits. I guess they are far better than my Vitamin C... 

I thank my sister for insisting that I try Del Monte Prune Juice.. A glass a day, keeps my nose from running, hahaha..

Holy Week Loot..

Shop at More Food Adventures

In the Catholic World, Holy Week is a very meaningful season.. It is a time to reflect, and to ponder on the life of the Lord. There are accompanying rituals such as Puasa, which  is a term used when one is fasting.. that's one of the Holy Week traditions. Puasa, or abstinence from food--- especially Pork.

I got us these goodies to last until they last.. 

 Special Cinnamon Bread from Missy Bon Bon..

 This really wonderful soft bread, again from Missy Bon Bon..

Two Kilos of Dried Mangoes from our very own MOGCHS Coop...

And this all-time tempting Moist Chocolate Cake, still from Missy Bon Bon.. We also have 7 huge bags of Big Munch chips.. No, we are not in a party mood--- we are just prepping for our travel back home.. where our puasa will begin.. Oh, by the way, we are NOT Catholics.. do not judge us.

Manhattan Meatlovers Pizza and Galapeno Tango

Shop at More Food Adventures

Okay, okay, so what's good to eat with your pasta? At Yellow Cab, the Galapeno Tango is what's good. If you do not know what Galapeno Tango is, that's the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings and Jalapeno Potato Wedges.. I just love the cheesy garlicky goodness in every bite of the chicken.. Of course, chicken would be too much if you have the Alfredo or the Charlie Chan, but then again, who says too much goodness is too much?

Anyway, I had my Galapeno Tango with the Spaghetti Meatbals... The kids ordered it, but then again, eating it makes me feel like a kid too.. 

Of course, if you have a slice or two of the Manhattan Meatlovers Pizza, your pasta will be perfect.. Hahaha.. Carbo loading as it may be for some, it's pizza pasta heaven for me..
