Banana Cake

We can make our own banana cake in as much as bananas particularly “bonolan” are common in the Philippines. In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, cream the butter with sugar and eggs until it is light and fluffy. We have to add the whole eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. We then add the flour mixture alternately with the cream mixture. Then add the mashed bananas. Place the cake batter in a prepared baking pan and bake for one hour. Let cool and the banana cake is ready for eating.

Famous Pasalubong

Hospitality is one of the good characteristics of Filipinos but besides that they are known for their thoughtfulness. A simple gesture that means a lot as giving a “pasalubong”. A famous pasalubong is polvoron which is easy to prepare . We just toast the flour and pinipig separately over moderate heat until golden brown. Let it cool then mix the sugar, powdered milk and pinipig and butter. We then mold the polvoron and wrap it with Japanese paper or water cellophane. Polvoron maybe considered modest compared to other sweets or dessert but it is tasty.

Baltimore Piano Bar

During my early young age, I used to go to the piano bar. For me, this is a nice place to spend your leisure time. At Baltimore piano bar it reminds me when I was with my friends before. After school we went directly to the bar and one of my friends knows how to play the piano. We were on the table; one of my other friends forced me to sing too. Gosh, I was really shy at first because I don’t know how to sing. But since I already had 3 shots of gin, there I sing without hesitation. *wink*

Fish Spring Rolls

Fish is a very good source of protein which is essential to our body. Instead of using pork, we may use fish meat. Less expensive fish maybe used. First, sauté garlic, onions, and fish meat. Then mix the sautéed fish flakes with minced carrots, kinchay, well beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. A spoonful of fish filling should be placed in a lumpia wrapper, rolled and sealed. Then it is ready for deep frying. Put the lumpia in a platter with paper to lessen the oil. It is now ready to eat.
