Yummy Peanut Kisses

I was browsing the pictures in my pc and I found this yummy photo of peanut kisses. I just miss it. If I can only find a substitute for this kind of cookie, I will not be craving for this anymore. Peanut Kisses is a product originated from Bohol Philippines. "Calamay" is another delicacy that I long for to eat on my lazy snacking moment.

Vietnamese Delicacy

I have Vietnamese friends in Biloxi, Mississippi and they always bring food in the workplace. These foods really tastes great but the only problem, I can't remember the name.This green foodie taste like "gulaman" with mongo-like filling sprinkled with sesame seeds at the top.This is made of sticky rice and taste like "suman" with black beans and the filling tastes like banana. I really don't know LOL but, the taste is really good.When I was working in the casino, my Vietnamese co-worker would always bring a snack for both of us. She's so kind and friendly.I love their food and when hubby and I went to Mississippi for Mardi Gras, I bought these foods in the Vietnamese store. I did asked the name but now, it's forgotten LOL.

Hot Tamales

When we went to Harrah's Hotel in New Orleans, they have a buffet and we took the time to dine in for a late lunch before heading back to Mississippi. We enjoyed it because the food was delicious and so many to choose from.As you can see, they have hot tamales and it was my first time to see and tasted it. I though it was the same as our "Binaki" in the Philippines. When I took a big bite, I don't like it because it was spicy and the taste is not right. I am used to eating a sweet corn baked with milk and other ingredients. Hot tamales is not the kind of food that I love.

Just Delicious

When I go for a buffet, I seldom eat from the pastry area because the main entree' alone can fill me up. But, when I am starving, I can manage a plate of my favorite sweet foodies.If I miss Filipino foods, I would go to a chinese restaurant and in the US, you can see this establishment everywhere. Oh I can't resist good tasty food! Let's chow everyone!

Food is Delightful

My husband and I have no vices and we both love to dine out. It started when we live in Mississippi with my father-in-law. As a matter of fact, we are influenced by him and hopping from restaurant to other were just ordinary activity for the three of us.He was 89 and we all love gardening. We ate breakfast at home though then, I would go to the garden to keep me busy and he would help out sort of making him active. When we are hungry, it was easy to put on clothes and go than prepare something at home; sort of finding a lost appetite! He would go to the finest restaurants in the area and he gives huge tip to the server.
He was a big fan of Subway and he loves their soup. He loves to eat and when we go to the buffet in the casino hotel in the area, we would eat first and play the slots afterwards.
His favorite is Hardrock and the Isle of Capri because every time he play a slot, he would win. One time, we went to Hardrock on a Wednesday which they offer 50% on the buffet from $25/dinner. When we pay, our ticket has $82 bills for three because the promo was good up to 6pm. It was past 6pm at that time and I cancel it and told him we would go to another casino.
He told the cashier he would pay anyway because he is rich and he has money. My husband rolled out laughing! I had no appetite to eat knowing it was my fault to came in late! He was enjoying his food! Anyway, when we go out and he put $50 on the machine, he hit the jackpot and won $700. The best thing was, he quit playing right after winning a game. Did you know that they don't like that? That is why in most places, if you won a lot, they would offer you big time deal such as FREE rooms for the night so; they could get back their money if you keep on playing. They will not force you though! In fact, their advice is "KNOW WHEN TO QUIT". My father-in-law quit when he is winning!

Delicious Filipino Desserts

This is "malagkit", one of my favorite snacks back home. It is made from glutinous rice garnished with "latik" or coconut milk residue topped with bits of peanuts and cheese.I am not sure what to call this. It is made of pearl, young coconut, milk, and mango.These are "fresh lumpia" or spring roll with vegies inside, "puto"or rice cake with cheese, and "maja blanca" or coconut pudding.Fried spring roll with gravy. I can't remember the taste now LOL. It must be deliciousThis is a cassava cake made from manioc and in our grocery stores it is called yuca. The Puerto Ricans and Mexicans love to make this too.
When I visited the Philippines last year, I bought these desserts all the time. I would trade the cake and ice cream for these foods, oh yeah.This is "siopao", a steamed Hot Bun, it is actually a dumpling with sweet mongo filling. Some Chinese restaurant here in the US have this "nilusak na saging" which is made from banana with shred of coconut .This is my entry for Yummy Sunday. Thanks for the visit everyone and for stopping by last week. I will see you in your blogs.

Seafood Basket at Seablings

Last November, I treat my mom and two of my friends at Seablings Seaffod Restaurant in Opol, Misamis Oriental, Philippines. Did you know that I only spent less than $25 for all of these plus a bowl of fish soup, a family serving of rice, and 4 sodas.If you happen to visit the Philippines and been traveling down Northern Mindanao, check out Seablings Restaurant located few minutes away from Cagayan de Oro City.If you love seafoods and been dreaming of "Kinilaw", "Sinuglaw" and grilled pork. ah, check it out will you? Have some for me too.

Green Mango with Spicy Shrimp Fry

Here I am again craving for something out of the ordinary. Chocolates, pastries, ice creams and cakes are the ordinary food that you can just grab in the grocery here. But, I am not a big fan of these "sweet tooth" faves even though these "yummylicious foodies" are very affordable here. It's just like buying a "bananacue" in the "sari-sari" stores. But, since I am not in PI, craving for "Pinoy" foodie like the green mango is hard to find and I can only buy "uyap" in the Asian store. Of course it's different if you live in California where you can buy everything your tastebuds desire. Anyway, I was able to buy the green mango at PUBLIX but, it's a product from Mexico.I really thought that it's sour but, after dipping a big slice of green mango to a spicy "uyap" (drooling), OhEmGeeee...so yummy, LOL!
Now, I still crave for more! I hope this variety of mango is still there tomorrow.

Jasmine Rice

Back in PI, Jasmine Rice is not the tastiest rice that I love. There are other variety which taste better and the more expensive it is, the more tastier it would be (supposedly). Anyway, here in the US, Jasmine Rice is really the best rice so far. The price is a little bit higher but, it is the best rice so far :-), just trying to convince you hehehe.Everyday, I cook rice because without it makes me weak (charing...) LOL! Asian can't live a day without rice during mealtime, unless if you are already influenced by the culture you have now. If I am lazy to cook, we go out to a Chinese resto and order for take out or dine in for a buffet. Lunch will cost for $6.99 and Dinner is $9.99, without the tax, tip and drinks.

Yummy Malagkit

I was inspired to make "malagkit" or "biko" today because I was drooling to eat a "torta" which was posted in one of my favorite FB group "Kagay-an Kaniadto". As I was thinking about that native food, I checked my pantry and saw my "malagkit" sticky rice. So, here it is!
This is my first attempt to make a "Biko" or "Malagkit" therefore, I refer my measurement and ingredients thru Panlasang Pinoy which is one of my favorite food website. It is so easy to make especially now, that I know where to find native ingredients. I usually go to a Puerto Rican or Mexican store.This is my entry for Yummy Sunday. Please drop by to see more yummy foodie entries this week.
