To Mark My Return
>> Wednesday, December 10, 2008
To mark my return in the blogging world (for good, I hope), I am gonna post the award that Lisa of A Simple Life had given me a few months back (which I gratefully acknowledged but I never had the chance to post and pass at that time till now). I would like to thank her for passing it on to me and I wanna say sorry for the delay in my picking it up.
To Lisa:
Sana hindi ka madala na bigyan ako ng award, pasensya na talaga, marami lang nangyari sa personal at tunay na buhay. Maraming salamat ulit sa pagbibigay ng Super Blogger Award sa akin!
And to keep the ball rolling, I'm passing the award to:
Pinoy Street Foods: Binatog
>> Tuesday, December 2, 2008
I don't know how should I classify binatog, is it a traditional Pinoy food or a Pinoy street food? What do you think? Traditional or not, eating binatog is a mark of Filipino kids and kids-at-heart - it is delicious, healthy, filling and oh so inexpensive.
Binatog - white corn bits mixed with grated coconut and your choice of salt or sugar.

Ensaimada/Ensaymada
>> Tuesday, September 9, 2008
Gossip: The lady who sold those ensaymada to my mother told her that it was baked by a long-time staff of Betsy's and that the recipe was kinda stolen from the cake center. I am neither confirming nor denying the matter. Uhmm, I know you love me, xoxo - gossip girl *lol*.

A Plea, An Earnest Request and An Appeal
>> Thursday, August 28, 2008
Catchy title, eh? Actually, I just want to ask everyone a small favor, I am nominated over at Dashing Smiles as a possible winner of a free Blogger lay-out, and as you can see, I kinda have one of the most boring template ever (shh, I don't wanna hurt the feelings of the template's creator) and I really, really like a new one, something that will make this a foodie blog in a lay-out-y sense of the word. Anyone care to help me?
If your answer is yes (please, please, please, say yes, say yes!), all you have to do is go over at Dashing Smiles and vote for Kutsara at Tinidor. You can see the poll at the lower-right side of the site, just check the box beside Kutsara and Tinidor, click the vote icon and voila, you already did something to help your fellowman - which is me *grins*.
Just imagine, on your next visit here, a new tantalizing and delish template will greet you, ain't that nice. So, go on, go on, vote for me and make me happy!
Thank you! :)

Pinoy Kakanin Fever
>> Sunday, August 24, 2008
(I ask my mom to buy me every single kakanin that she saw in the market yesterday, and so she did. I love my Nanay!)
Kakanin are commonly known as rice cakes, here in the Philippines kakanin are a-plenty and it comes in different forms, tastes and bases. Aside from the kakanin that I have featured here, more varieties can be found depending on the province or town that you will visit, in this country, ones ethnicity define the foods that they eat and specializes at.
I'm supposed to put a little description of each kakanin in the pictures but I'm kinda lazy, and this post is long enough to bore you *grins*. If you have questions, kindly leave a comment and I'll try to answer you in due time *wink*.

Pinoy Street Food: The Si-Log Family
Photos below are some of the more famous members of the Si-Log family, a viable part of Pinoy street foods. Commonly found at hole-in-the-wall establishments, but at the moment, more and more classy restaurants are offering them, some even have them as specialties, does Tapa King ring a bell?
I love eating sinangag (fried rice) and pritong itlog (fried egg) during breakfast, give me some tocino or longganisa (Filipino-style sausage) and I'm in heaven.
Definition of terms:
- Tapsilog - tapa, sinangag, itlog
- Porksilog - pork chop, sinangag, itlog
- Tocilog - tocino, sinangag, itlog
- Chicksilog - fried chicken, sinangag, itlog
- Longsilog - longganisa, sinangag, itlog
