Every weekend, my nanay is usually just at home and let me tell you, she gets easily bored. I guess I got that from her. 😀 So, what does she love doing? Well, fattening us up! Hahahaha. 😀
She loves cooking and preparing different dishes, mostly for merienda or snacks. It’s one of the things she does to pass the time. Trust me, if you stay at our home for even a week, you’re surely gain weight. She’s got this way of convincing you to eat what she prepared no matter how dedicated you are with your diet. Plus, everything she prepares is delicious. None of my friends were ever successful in saying no to her ’cause she’s an awesome cook! 😀
Here are some of my favorite merienda or snacks that my mother loves preparing or buying every weekend, starting off with Palitaw! My favorite merienda! My mother got sick of cooking this for me. :D I’ll post her recipe next time. 🙂
Dolor’s Kakanin’s sapin-sapin – one of the popular pasalubong items from here (Malabon):
Arny-Dading’s Peachy Peachy – another famous pasalubong from Malabon. They named it “peachy-peachy” instead of the usual “pichi-pichi”. I prefer it with cheese, but they also have this with just graded coconut.
My mother’s specialty - Ginataang Alpahor / Bilo-Bilo / Halo-halo. I super love this! I literally have to stop going to the kitchen just so I won’t get a bowl of this whenever she makes them. Argh! 😀
My mom takes the merienda another notch by preparing Puto Maya – just the right pair for her Ginataang Alpahor! Woot!
My brother and I love Lugaw (porridge or congee) paired with tokwa’t baboy (fried tofu and pork, usually pig’s ears) and sumpia or fried lumpia.
Gosh. Writing this post is making me really hungry and I can’t eat anymore to prepare for tomorrow. Waaah.
Did I just make you hungry?! How about you? What’s your favorite merienda or snack food?!
awwwwww, these are making me hungry, too! i also buy Dolor’s sapin-sapin, the rest, usually from Via Mare. but palitaw is my specialty–been cooking this since i was 12 years old.:p
Woot! I super love palitaw. Ako rin, I learned how to cook as early as 11-12 years old. My nanay taught me how to cook pansit for our pansitan/carinderia. 🙂
ayyyy! I miss my mom tuloy! She would also bring me most of what you featured when she comes home from the market or from work…Nilupak, sapin-sapin, kutsinta, buchi and pichi pichi! I miss those….thanks for giving me back my appetite…lol
nothing beats Pinoy kakanin! Gosh, I really miss palitaw!!!
