Buridibud Vegetable Soup. Recipe for Dinengdeng.

Jonathan — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:50:06 +0000

It was the Holy Week break and I'm back in San Fernando, La Union for a much needed break. One of the things I looked forward to is savoring a freshly cooked Buridibud, a vegetable soup I so love that is just not available in Metro Manila. I enjoyed it so much that I volunteered this Philippine food piece to Tsibog so that visitors will be aware of Ilocano food and recipe as found and practiced in my hometown of San Fernando, La Union.

Crepe is a break in the routine of a fast food nation since it is easy to prepare and quick to cook. Crepe is also a versatile choice for diners who wanted to try something new most of the time.

Making crepes can utilize those leftovers in the refrigerator and transform them into another dish. Crepes vary according to their fillings. Fillings may be a dessert-like treat glazed with caramel, chocolate, or your choice of sauce or a sumptuous savory lunch/dinner packed with protein-rich meat and vegetables.

Bibingka is one of the local terms used to describe Filipino rice cakes. The Filipino specialty can be eaten for breakfast or for merienda. Bibingka Royale is a soft, fluffy, and cake-like dessert with a slight sticky texture unlike the traditional bibingka made from glutinous rice topped with coco jam.

No need to wait for the Christmas songs to play and the well-lit lanterns to be displayed in front of the village houses to have a taste of Bibingka Royale. Even beginners can prepare and cook Bibingka Royale at the comfort of their homes without the hassle.

The Asian art of cooking introduced a hearty mix of dining pleasure, distinct satisfaction, and protection against diseases with miso.

Tofu, or bean curd, tokwa to Pinoys, is a big part of Filipino and Asian cooking, particularly in Japanese and Chinese cuisine.

One particular and very simple way to cook tofu is to smother it with bread crumbs and deep fried. Breaded Tofu with accompanying sauce is great for appetizers, pulutan, and good enough to eat with rice for a full meal.

Sisig, the ultimate pulutan companion for beer. Around bars and restaurants, the many varieties of sisig dish is a best seller either to go along your favorite drink or to be chowed down with hot steamed rice.

Sisig is truly Filipino. From what I heard it was concocted by the food loving folks in Pampanga. In fact there's a place in Angeles City, about 10 minutes drive from Clark, where you will find authentic sisig being served. Some even claim this was the place where this humble dish originated.
