Choco Palitaw with a Twist

I remember my college days when my Instructor in HELE told us that we are going to make our own recipe and she choose the best one. I and my groupmates made a lumpia roll that is made of Tinapa - a well-known smoked fish here in the Philippines. Actually, it tasted good. But unfortunately, we didn't win in the competition that has the best recipe in the class. At least we tried! Haha. Luckily, my friend Rm was assigned to the group were they picked Choco Palitaw with a twist as their entry. After they prepare it, we hurriedly acknowledge them and tasted their work. Well, it is delicious!

Well, let me tell you all the ingredients and stuff on how to do it.

The ingredients are the following:

Desiccated Coconut
Chocolate Condensed
Chocolate (flat tops)
Glutinous Rice Flour
Water

Procedure

First, mix the glutinous rice flour and water. Make sure that you will form a dough that is not too wet or hard.

Second, form the dough into a circle and place the flat tops inside it.

Third, after you form a circle, place the finished product in a separate container.

Fourth, boil the dough until it pops up.

The fifth procedure is to put the desiccated coconut in the container and roll the cooked dough.

and lastly, pour the chocolate condensed on top of the dough and you can now serve it.

Actually, you can sell it. That's it! :)

Pinoy Crispy Asado

Filipino people love to eat. Some of us, like me, loves to "mag-imbento ng recipe" just to try different food. I love cooking. I love discovering new recipe's and try to cook it for myself. After I realized that it was not good, haha! I will try it the next time. How did I know that it was not good? I tried to ask my family and other relatives if it tastes good. But actually, I already know the answer. Haha! I just wanted to know their opinions and maybe their suggestions. So, I made my first cooking blog to tell the people around the world that we, Filipinos, love to try new recipes and loves to cook. 

Okay, let me share with you guys how to cook this delicious PinoyCrispy Asado within 40 mins. Haha! So easy. 

First, make sure that you boil the pork approximately 15 to 20 minutes. This way will make your pork become crispy and juicy when it is cooked with tomato sauce.

Second, after you boil the pork, fry it deeply and wait to become brownish. This means that the pork is ready to saute'.

Third, saute' the fried pork with onions, garlic, and your tomato sauce. 

You can now serve it and enjoy eating!
