Mango Mousse Float from Tinapayan

Mango Float is among the most popular home-made desserts that is said to have Filipinized (and economized) the icebox or refrigerator cake
And most recently, the mango float has been revived into a more convenient dessert on-the-go with the overly popular craze  "mango float ice cream" started by Maxi Mango in Davao/Manila and locally in Iloilo by Mango Magic at The Atrium. 
Not to be outdone Tinapayan Bakeshop (with its main branch just right across Mango Magic) took on the mango float craze revival with its very own reinvention of the popular dessert.
It may look like the usual mango float upon first glance - with mangoes, Graham and cream getting your attention. But a slice reveals its actually a mango float mousse topped with all the works.
The mousse is mango flavored with fresh mangoes and Graham to give an authentic mango float taste and look. It sits on a Graham base, topped with whipped cream with Graham and fresh mango bits and finally drizzled with mango sauce! Now, that's more than a mango float! 
An order costs PhP 595 and is good for around 8 people more or less or depending on how much they will like it.... 

... for I can actually finish half of it. Burp!

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...

Easy Century Tuna Recipes

If you're looking for simple, easy  and delicious Century Tuna recipes online, congratulations, you've found it right here! How about spicy tuna sisig or tuna sinigang ? Maybe stir fried tuna with pickles or just yang chow fried rice .  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. At first I was just into the usual tested recipes; pasta and sandwich filling, but then it got simpler – I just eat it straight from the can! Usually with a piece of bread or an apple. 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. With Century Tuna in lieu of the us...
