Magnum Ice Cream


This Magnum Ice Cream has get all the hype online and on traditional media and as usual, a late bloomer, I just had my first Magnum experience 2 weekends ago on our usual grocery shopping day. 


Magnum on cupcake, hehe


It currently has three delicious variants and my favorite is the magnum ice cream with almonds. I agree with someone who said it's the poor man's Haagen Daz. ☺ For 50 pesos you'll get a generous filling of creamy vanilla and yummy belgian chocolate... and a bit of almond crunch. Now, that's heavenly! This is totally a luxury indulgence for people on the budget.

Palitaw (Sticky Rice Dumplings with Coconut and Toasted Sesame Seeds)


It's the holy week and normally Filipino families gathered together and celebrate traditional filipino activities and that includes - Eating native delicacies. So today I decided to make my very first Palitaw.




We Filipinos call this sweet flat rice cake Palitaw. A very popular snack or dessert in the Philippines. This delicious kakanin is made simply with mixing rice flour and water and formed into a dough. The flattened dough are cooked in boiling water until they float and such is the name "litaw" means to float or to surface" the palitaw name was derive from.
