Mango Pavlova from Tinapayan

Tinapayan's Mango Pavlova was a popular Noche Buena centerpiece among my Iloilo-based FB friends. I've seen lots of Christmas Eve dinner spreads having this eye-catching cake as the center piece. Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert with cream and fruits completing it's trio of components.

As this is the Holiday Season, Tinapayan added Christmas trimmings to be more festive and in with the season. The snowmen are entirely made of cream so one's gotta have this mango pavlova cooled for it may not look like the same if left in the open for a long time.

The mango pavlova has a layer of soft meringue as opposed to the standard crisp outside yet chewy inside meringue. It is then layered with whipped cream then layered with fresh mangoes (very sweet mangoes) then finally topped off with Christmas themed designs. I just love the combo of the mangoes and cream with the meringue that I find it "bitin" being just a one-layered merignue dessert. It's basically a light "cake" compared to the other cakes and pies making up the Premium Cakes Selection of Tinapayan for the holidays.

The Holiday isn't over yet so there's still a chance for this Mango Pavlova to be part of part of the indulgent eats this gastronomic season.

Check all these delicious desserts at Tinapayan Bakeshops located at Iloilo Supermart at The Atrium, Mary Mart Mall, Villa-Arevalo, Mandurriao, Molo and Tabuc Suba Jaro. Also check updates on the Facebook page.

An Ilonggo favorite - Valenciana

Found in almost all occasions like fiesta, birthdays, reunions and others, Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in special gatherings at home. A complete " go, grow and glow " dish because it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful, Valenciana is really an " occasional dish ". Here's the recipe for Valenciana

Ultimate Ilonggo Favorite: KBL Kadyos, Baboy, Langka

K.B.L. or Kadyos, Baboy, Langka is the ultimate favorite dish of most Ilonggos. It is also one of the most missed native dishes as kadyos and the souring ingredient, batwan , are hard to find when outside of the Ilonggo region. Basically, it is boiled/stewed pork dish owing its "deliciousness" to the combination of the soft and tender pork, the tamed sourness of batwan and the malinamnam na sabaw . One of the "secrets" of the malinamnamn na sabaw , is the fact that the pork, whether just the plain meat or pata (hocks) are first grilled or broiled. This gives the broth a rather smoky taste that makes it more appetizing.. Learn how to make the Ilonggo dish KBL (Kadyos, Baboy, at Langka) with the recipe below. Ingredients 1 kilo Pata (pork hocks) or pork cubes, GRILLED and sliced into bite size pieces 1 unripe Jack fruit, cubed 2 cups pigeon pea (kadyos) 6-8 pieces batwan fruit (or tamarind powder) 1 piece por...

A native delicacy called Inday-inday

Now you may ask, what is Inday-Inday ? It's another repetitive-feminine named native delicacy that is made from rice like its more popular sister - baye-baye . While the latter is has its own original flavor and make, inday-inday is actually a combination of two well loved native delicacies - muasi ( palitaw ) and bukayo . But the muasi portion is not the the usual palitaw recipe for the it's more firm and gummy (I don't know the English term for kid-ol ). Actually its more like a hardened kutsinta and this makes it more to my liking since I'm not really fond of muasi in the first place. And its not quite easy to find inday-inday in the market today, though I've seen and tried it in Sabor Ilonggo stalls but their's is more like suman latik for the based is ibos -like. Ibos is malagkit rice boiled in gata which is called suman in Tagalog. Despite the uncertainty for its nomenclature (I've read that inday-inday is just plain pal...

Muasi

A confession to start this blogpost - I consider MUASI as one of my hated native delicacies given its bland taste even with the sugar dip. But that was back during my childhood days. Maybe be because I may have used less sugar or might have completely forgotten to "dip" it at all. Yet nowadays, I have learned to appreciate it especially when its freshly cooked with the muscovado teeming the aroma of roasted sesame seeds. So let's make some MUASI

An Ilonggo favorite - Suman Latik

Suman Latik is one of my favorite native delicacies - plain suman/ibos topped with sweetened coconut strips or bukayo . Most of the time those sold in the markets have this two (suman and bukayo) already in one wrap and all you have to to is devour it. But most of the time, the bukayo portion is bitin that I wish there's more. So why not make our own suman latik so you can have all the suman we want with all the bukayo toppings we desire! Here's a simple recipe for Suman Latik
