Cabanatuan's Finest Longganisa

I love longganisa especially paired with fried rice and egg, that's one of the best breakfast for me! Longganisa is a type of sausage and has many variants all over the country. And Cabanatuan Longganisa from Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija is one of it!

The most famous Cabanatuan Longganisa is called Batutay or Beef Longganisa/Sausage. They also have the sweet-style which is called Hamonado, garlicky sausage that's Recado, or Skinless that means without the sausage casing.

Cabanatuan's Finest Longganisa is based in Nueva Ecija, however there are authorized sellers here in Metro Manila. In my case, I bought it from one of my friends. I think the best thing about Cabanatuan's Finest Longganisa is that their products looks really high-quality, clean and the meat itself doesn't shrink drastically when you're cooking it.

From all the Cabanatuan's Finest Longganisa, my favorite is the Hamonado variant. I love it because it really meaty, taste good with still the hint of garlicky flavor and that sweetness which is perfect for vinegar dip!

The other Cabanatuan's Finest products like Recado Garlic Longganisa, Cheezy Embutido and Chicken Skinless are also good. Worth really a try.

Until my next post!

Rocha's Puto and Kutsinta

Probably the most common kakanin in every Filipino household, Puto and/or Kutsinta. You can buy it anywhere, in restaurants, eateries, bakeshops, and it's even being sold at your doorstep by mobile street vendors in the morning. Puto and/or Kutsinta has so many variations around the country, different textures, main ingredient, colors, sizes, types, toppings and technique in cooking. Personally, my favorite Puto of all time is Puto Calasiao of Pangasinan. As for the Kutsinta, I don't have any because most of it is pretty much the same, they only differ in color, chewiness and toppings.

Don Benito's Cassava Cake in Holiday Boxes

Just only 4 days to go before Christmas and 11 days to go before 2022, people are so busy preparing for the Holidays. Long traffic everywhere, mini gatherings or reunions left and right, Christmas shopping, and planning the menu for Noche Buena and Media Noche are all energy draining. So to lessen your cooking load this coming Holiday, you can serve Don Benito's Cassava Cake or even give it as a gift or your share to a potluck gathering.

Happy, Blessed, and Grateful at 37

Today is a special day for me and my family. It's my 37th Birthday and our 6th Wedding Anniversary! We had a very simple and happy celebration at home, normal everyday food, store-bought cake, some picture moments and chasing our toddler.

And this surprise Birthday Cake given by my youngest sister. Dainty, super cute, and really touching customized design picked by my sister!!! It's me during my wedding day, how thoughtful of my sister to also include a touch of our wedding anniversary on the cake.

Mini Cakes or Bento Cakes which first gained popularity in South Korea is now also a hot item here in the Philippines. Why not, who can resist these cute, simple, and eye-catching minimalist design cakes? They are perfect for small occasions, good for 1-2 persons, and a really Instagram-worthy cake.
