Ube brazo de mercedes from Lapaz Bakeshop

It was just an impromptu food trip in and around Lapaz market a few months ago when I discovered this ube brazo de mercedes from the Lapaz Bakeshop. I got to taste and take home this ube dessert that later on became a staple at home. Lapaz Bakeshop sits on the corner of Tinda Lapaz right across Grand Dame Hotel. A restaurant named Lapaz Kitchenette was the previous locator of the space and it was famous for it's PhP59 buffet . The bakeshop is among the bigger "small town" bakeshops in the city with it's wide range of breads, pastries and cakes plus shorts snack items. It even has branches in some towns in Iloilo including one in my hometown, Sta. Barbara. It was a quick side trip made by Sir Eugene that time that introduced me to this ube variant of brazos. He bought a few slices of this dessert and brought it inside Madge Cafe inside the market. It was perfect with the cafe's native coffee and the filling is somewhat like ube halaya.

Easy Century Tuna Recipes

I love Century Tuna from its flakes in oil variety, the spicier the better, but when I discovered the versatility of its solid variant, it became an obsession.

I just add a few drops of vinegar to spice it up a bit. Then came the experiments. Yup I got tired of that habit that one day, I decided to test my skills in the kitchen. Serendipity, you might call it yet most of them turned into good recipes that I have shared now and then. Satisfying my Palabok cravings had me experiment on this recipe on the spot.

Roberto's Queen Siopao

What makes Queen Siopao one of the most sought after food items at Roberto's is more than how the sio pao tastes. Indeed it tastes good and delicious and it's BIG. It has chicken and pork adobo, Chinese sausage, egg and bacon inside that big "pao". But it is only available on certain times - like three days every two weeks. Long before, it was 3 days a month only but as it became more popular, they made it every fortnight. So you ask why a popular item like this be of limited offer? The reason I got before was the availability of the bacon but I didn't buy it. But now with a minimum order of 30 pcs it can be made available at your convenience. It is sold at PhP70 a piece.
