Ingredients:

1 can (390g) of Jolly Cow Condensada

1 can (370ml) evaporated milk

10 egg yolks

1 teaspoon of grated dayap or lemon peel

1 cup of white sugar

Procedure:

1. Put sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over low fire until the sugar caramelizes.

2. Pour the caramelized sugar equally into three llaneras. Evenly coat the caramelized sugar on the bottom of the llanera. Set aside.

3. In a bowl, gently mix together the Jolly Cow Condensada, evaporated milk, egg yolks and the grated dayap. Make sure to gently mix so as not to create bubbles on the mixture.

4. Gently and evenly pour the mixture on the llaneras containing the caramelized sugar.

5. Cover each llanera with aluminum foil.

6. Steam for about 30 minutes or until firm (steaming time may depend on the thickness of the llanera).

Tip: You can tell when the leche flan is fully cooked by inserting a knife in the middle of the mixture--if the knife comes clean, it is fully cooked. 

Makes three llaneras.

A mix that’s truly Timplang Pinoy

Filipino families may have changed the way they bond over generations but they will always enjoy the timplang Pinoy taste of Eight O’Clock.

In keeping with the times, the things that Filipino families enjoy and delight in have constantly evolved – from simple group kite flying, to grandma’s stories of legends and folklore at night, to strolling in the mall, to family karaoke, and to the more contemporary groufies and #FamBam picture taking on their smart phones. Through all that, one thing remains constant, there is still that distinctly Filipino timpla in all these family bonding activities – just like how the Eight O’clock powdered juice drink remains Pinoy na Pinoy.

“Filipino families have enjoyed the delicious taste of Eight O’Clock for more than 20 years. We take pride that no matter how much time changes the bonding activities of Filipino families, Eight O’Clock continues to provide that truly Timplang Pinoy that generations and generations of Filipino families have come to love,” Teejae Sonza, marketing manager for Stills and New Categories of Coca-Cola Philippines.

A glass of Eight O’Clock is a glass of truly Timplang Pinoy flavor loved and enjoyed by generations of Filipino families over the years.

Eight O’Clock is a delicious homegrown brand that captures the tasty and unique blend of sweet and sour orange flavor perfect for every Pinoy family to enjoy. It has immuno-active agents to help boost the family’s immune system, and each mix can make up to six glasses per pack.

Now available in supermarkets nationwide, Eight O’ Clock makes its way back to the heart of each home as the Filipino mix for the Filipino family.

Street food in a mall? Why not!

Here in the Philippines, we think of the sidewalk when we say “street food”. However, those who have been to Singapore know of this kind of food as “hawker food”. It is as flavorful as it is mysterious.

Now, you don’t have to go to Singapore to get a taste of this highly popular cooked food concept. Because just when you thought we already have the world’s cuisine within our midst, here comes SM with another first as it opened its doors to Filipino foodies and non-foodies alike – welcome Makansutra.

Makan is the Bahasa word for “food”, and Sutra means “guide” according to Buddhist scriptures.Makansutra Chief Executive and Makan Guru KF Seetoh put the two words together to fittingly describe what the company aims to achieve: to serve as food and dining guide through recipes that have been inherited from the forefathers of the Asian region.

Makansutra in SM Megamall A is the company's first fully-owned restaurant in the Philippines, and the first of its kind in the country. It showcases hawker restaurants that are popular in Singapore, offering various recipes with Asian origins such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Gathering a total of 70 to 80 Filipino chefs, the owners of the restaurants themselves came all the way from Singapore to teach the art of cooking authentic heritage street food that customers will find unique and delectable.

“These foods became iconic and famous, became big business in many countries. The Philippines deserves this kind of food variety and I hope they enjoy this because Filipinos love and appreciate good, authentic food,” Seetoh observed. “In Singapore, we have difficulty getting people to learn how to cook as a profession. Here in the Philippines, it only took the Filipino chefs and cooks a week to learn the authentic heritage street food recipes that Makansutra offers.”

Asked why he chose to open first in SM, Seetoh remarked, “Why not SM? You can’t find any other better location, except maybe SM MOA. It took one breakfast with Hans Sy and I was fortunate enough for being given the opportunity to have a space here. No other mall in Singapore compares to the size and the kind of crowd that Megamall has.”

One of Seetoh’s Filipino partners, Chef JJ Yulo, believes that this innovative concept in dining will be warmly accepted by the Filipinos. “Street food in general is not hard to sell. To me, it means fast, casual, delicious, humble, affordable. We want to expand the vocabulary of Pinoys beyond tapsilog,” Yulo said.

Not only is it good for expanding the adventurous tastebuds of Pinoys, but it will also bode well for the food industry. 

“If we all succeed, then this is good for the industry and the country,” Yulo said.  

“It’s good to have it in a mall like SM because of its foot traffic, which is good for business. Turnout is great even if it’s a weekday. The best thing about this is that it’s convenient for you to keep coming back, and you will not run out of choices because there is something for everyone with different taste preferences. None of these foods are adopted for the Pinoy tastebud. These are all authentic heritage food from various regions. It’s our entry point to Singapore’s popular foods.”

Two of the restaurant owners, Ah You of Hong Kong Street Old Chun Kee and Sam Hussin ofAlhambra Padang Satay, are both positive about the reception of Filipinos to these unique Asian heritage cuisine. This being their first time to operate in the Philippines, they were amazed at the first-day turnout of customers considering it was a weekday. They expect that more customers will come in during weekends.

For us Pinoys, eating knows no time. With SM’s latest pioneering offer through Makansutra, dining will be more than just a habit and a necessity – it’s definitely going to be a relishing adventure.

Try this best fried you've never tried! Kenny Rogers’ OMG Unfried Fried Chicken!

Fried chicken is one of the most universally loved foods around. It has become regularly present at our dinner table.

We always made fried chicken, get right down to the basics: Battered, breaded or plain, with a flour dredge, egg dipped, then flour coated, sometimes in seasoned flour, double-dipped in flour, egg and flour, breaded, or corn flakes, and or with other ingredients.. . and of course, cooked in hot oil. Fried Chicken!

Having lunch/dinner outside, enjoying eating most decadently delicious food, most tantalizing, crowd-pleasing variations on the classic chicken. Cooked in oil, but fried chicken is comfort food at its finest. 

But we need to have health food. Healthy and delicious – two of the best qualities that a food can have coupled into one outrageous, mouth-watering and guiltless fried food.

Who knew healthier fried chicken is possible?

Yes,  Fried chicken is the ultimate Pinoy comfort food, especially when it’s perfectly cooked. Imagine the crispy skin that crumbles and crunches with every bite, the juicy, wonderfully tender meat paired with a spoonful of soft, fluffy steamed rice. Yum!

Sadly, fried chicken lovers often feel remorse, knowing that their favorite treat is unhealthy. It’s quite difficult to argue the case for fried chicken, since this dish is traditionally deep-fried in oil. 

According to the Harvard University School of Public Health, those who eat a lot of foods fried in oil are at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Though there’s no need to worry and give up the delectable fried chicken—since fried chicken without the guilt is possible. OMG, really?

Kenny Rogers Roasters’ OMG Unfried Fried Chicken is here—an outrageously mouthwatering, guiltless treat for those who just can’t give up on the wonders of fried chicken. This new innovation is next-level fried chicken: juicier, more delicious, crispier, and all without deep-frying.

Kenny Rogers’ OMG Unfried Fried Chicken is good for you. Why? 

Here are the top four reasons why the new OMG Unfried Fried Chicken is better!

• Less oil, fried no more. The OMG Unfried Fried Chicken, unlike most fried chicken products in the market, is not deep-fried, but rather, cooked through circulating hot air. The result: the skin is still crispy, the meat is juicier with the chicken’s natural oil, and there’s no excess oil used in the cooking process. It’s pure fried chicken goodness minus the health-endangering oil and deep-frying!

• Deliciousness without the guilt. Great flavors don’t have to mean feeling guilty hours after a heavy meal. With the OMG Unfried Fried Chicken, even the health-conscious can partake in fried chicken indulgence since there’s only pure flavor with every protein-packed bite. Less oil and zero guilt!

• It’s perfect with amazingly healthy sides. Fried chicken without tasty sides is just sad—at Kenny Rogers Roasters, it’s easy to complete the dining experience with a variety of healthy, freshly cooked sides, such as steamed vegetables, corn and carrots, salads, and more. For only P215.00, customers can get 2 pcs. of OMG Unfried Fried Chicken with 2 regular side dishes, white rice, and a muffin. Healthy, balanced meal!

• It’s perfect for sharing. Why not share the deliciously healthy love with the entire family, office, or barkada? The OMG Unfried Fried Chicken comes in a Group Meal with eight perfectly unfried fried chicken pieces, four muffins, four rice, four regular sides, gravy, and the customers’ choice of drink for only P730.00 or for pure OMG Unfried Fried chicken goodness, there’s the 8-piece also ideal for sharing (P465.00).
