6-21-2015: Puto ug Sikwate

Sticky Rice with Mango Marmalade with Hot Chocolate
One of my favorite breakfast food combos is the puto with sikwate.  Puto is steamed sticky rice with coconut milk while sikwate is the native hot chocolate. The combination also goes so well with some ripe mangoes.  My two ways of eating the breakfast or snack pair are either I pour the sweet sikwate to the puto or I get a spoonful of puto and dip it in a cup of hot sikwate. Pictured above is the version of The Chocolate Chamber of this delightful combo.

When was the last time you had puto and sikwate?

When a Wish Took Flight: Jake Adonis Sibial’s Story of Hope

Image
Jake Adonis Sibial grew up in Danao City with a clear picture of who he wanted to become. Aviation fascinated him. The skies felt like a possibility. But at sixteen, life interrupted that path in  the most unexpected way. Jake was diagnosed with leukemia.

And for a while, everything else faded into the background except one thing: survival. Yet even in the hardest moments, hope found a way in.

He sat in a c ockpit not as a visitor, but as someone trusted to understand,...

Best Restaurants in Cebu: The Weekend

Image
One of the first ever favorite restaurants of Kalami Cebu was Carnivore in The Gallery, Mabolo .  I was so impressed with the Cebuano chefs who managed it because they were not afraid to innovate and use some advanced cooking methods.  Too bad, they closed down already.  I really missed the meat dishes of Kurt Famador and company.  I was hoping to see more Cebuano culinary talents to step up their game and compete with the "big boys" of the local restaurant scene.  Then, The Weekend happened!  As #TheWeekendPH turns 1, I do believe that Chef Jan Rodriguez took the cudgels of becoming the benchmark of an excellent local restaurant.

Food Question of the Week: When was the last time you had Ice Candy?

Image
I remember back when I was a kid and ice cream is too expensive, I always love to eat Ice Candy! It is one of my favorite desserts especially during summer.  There was a time that one piece was sold at 50 centavos.  Recently, I was able to buy some at Isidra Comfort Cantina for 15 pesos each. I was like someone starved for food that I finished the 2 sticks in just a couple of minutes while driving. How about you, when was the last time you had Ice Candy? How much was the cheapest Ice Candy that you ever bought?
