Ginataang Halo-Halo

Ginataang Halo-Halo
Ginataang Halo-Halo is a Pinoy traditional dish that is almost forgotten by the younger generation especially in the City. This is because of the popularity of Western fast foods that have proliferated everywhere.


Ginataang Halo-Halo Recipe

When I was a kid I still remember this native merienda being served at birthday celebrations or any other special occasions in the province. Cooking this ginataang halo-halo at your home is fairly easy. Ingredients are easily available at both supermarkets and wet markets.

    @ Anonymous,
    I read from somewhere that you can make galapong by simply mixing glutinous rice flour and water, I have not tried it but may be i could make one soon.

    @ tina,
    thanks for the info.

    about galapong. that's exactly how you make it. just slowly add water to the glutenous rice "giniling na pilit" as we call it, enough for it to clump up...... ching.. binignit..

Champeni of Batangas

Champeni of Batangas . Champeni or champene, sampeni or sampene , whats in a name, the important is, this goat or beef innards dish is a must try when you are in Batangas . I could not really confirm the common name of this delectable dish. Based on people that I have met and places and that I have visited in Batangas , the pronunciation varies. Even the cooking procedures and ingredients differ depending on the locality in Batangas . These are usually based on every family cooking practice, type and availability of ingredients, similar to the Batangas Kaldereta there are countless versions out there. I you have searched the internet you may have noticed that there is not enough information of the Champeni of Batangas . I could only share my knowledge and information about Champeni based of my long association with my Batangenyo friends and colleagues, and my frequent work assignment in Batangas . At this point can I ask our readers from Batangas to share with us mor...

Nilagang Saging na Saba , Nilagang Saba is one simple comfort food that we used to enjoy when fast-food was not in our vocabulary. And to this date I could say that it is still a regular merienda in the countryside, Plantain bananas are abundant in the Philippines and they are always available in our city wet markets. Please visit us also on our YouTube Channel! Overseas Pinoy Cooking on YouTube by the UT-Man Banana-q , minatamis na saging and turon are the more popular method of cooking saba aside from nilaga.

Turbo Crispy Pata

Turbo Crispy Pata . “Turbo” in Pinoy cooking refers to a dish cooked in turbo broiler , the most common is turbo chicken . On this post I want to share how to turbo cook crispy pata . This post is actually overdue, several readers have been asking if I had tried to cook crispy pata using the turbo broiler on my first crispy pata recipe a few years back. Click this link Crispy Pata , to see that post. If you are interested there is also a bonelsee version in the archives, click the link Boneless Crispy Pata to see that post. Ok back to my Turbo Crispy Pata , the idea of cooking crispy pata using the turbo broiler is to drain out or at least reduce the fats. With turbo crispy pata we have a healthier version . However the turbo crispy pata would not have the usual crisp skin with moist and succulent meat of a traditionally deep fried crispy pata . At least it is easier to cook, you won’t be dealing with splashes of hot oil. Remember this was my first attempt, th...
