Unlike other cheesebread you know, Filipinocheesebread is sweet and milky. I was really craving for some of these Filipinocheesebread since I came back from the Philippines last January
It is a sweetbread that is shaped like a batton similar to a small baguette, formed and rolled like a croissant, covered with bread crumbs like a pandesal, and filled with sugar and sometimes with cheese
¼ cup sweet relish. ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese. They can be served as is, pan fried, or breaded to give it extra texture before slicing into serving portions usually with ketchup or any dipping sauce of choice
There is also an in-depth guide to what makes up Filipino cuisine today from ingredients to cooking techniques that highlight the use of asim (sourness), tamis (sweet), and alat (salty)
So, for those of us who are living abroad, where a Filipino bakery let alone an upscale cafe' is hard to come across, this is a very good option to satisfy our cravings and longings for an authentic ensaymada
Filipino Pandesal (Bread Rolls). Soft and Chewy Filipino Coconut Macaroons. But when I discovered the frozen half-shell green lip mussels from New Zealand, I buy it more often for their sweet, tender, plump, and juicy meat that are much bigger in size which makes them perfect for baking or grilling
Filipino Spring Rolls (Lumpia). Sweet and Sour Chicken. use a nightshade-free sauce (making AIP subs as needed), make this AIP flatbread as a crust instead, omit the cheese and pepperoni, brush with olive oil instead of ghee and the egg white
Although we have Filipino Muslim brothers back home, I never really knew anything about Ramadan, except for them having to fast and pray for the whole month
