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.

An Ilonggo favorite: Pancit Molo

Named after one of Iloilo City’s districts, Pancit Molo is one of the more identifiable pancit dishes in the country. It stands out uniquely among the noodle dishes mainly because of its non-traditional pancit look. It is a derivative of the Chinese wonton (filled dumplings) made into a soup. One of the first questions always asked is "Where's the Pancit?". With pancit as a sort of "prefix" to the name of the dish, first timers always for the noodle-like component of the dish. It's then explained that the pancit is actually the molo ball wrappers which is basically of the same mix as any pancit/noodles. Pancit Molo is more of a household specialty and the recipe varies from household to household. From the meat filling mix to the soup, there could be a hundred and one ways of making pancit molo. Pancit Molo Filling I suggest to make this days before the actual cooking of pancit molo so that the flavours will be full....

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.
