Mango Float by Thirsty? Fresh Juices and Shakes

The Mango-Float-in-a-Cup craze is still here. But if you haven't heard of it, it's the Pinoy favorite dessert made more convenient and more delicious with the addition of ice cream to the mangoes, Graham cracker and cream combination.

And Thirsty is the latest to join the bandwagon with its own version of this dessert. Launched just in time for Dinagyang 2019 last Jan.25, Thirty's version is definitely worth the wait with its specially concocted delicious ice cream - not too sweet and overpowering, and complements the fresh mangoes and Graham.

It comes in one size and sold for PhP69. It is initially available at SM City Iloilo - at the Foodcourt and at Fruitfull at the Food Hall.

But wait there's more! From Feb 1 to 10, Ilonggos are in a for treat as this Mango Float goes on SALE at the 50% off! It's now only PhP 34 pesos per cup! Enjoy this cool treat from Thirsty and tune in for more... I heard there's a Buko Pandan float coming soon. And more branches to offer these treats!

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish". Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc. Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste 2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube...

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth. Here's a recipe guide for a simple Pochero Ilonggo
