Hi I would like to know how to make the puto bungbong and bibingka for christmas. I miss the bibingka and I haven’t tasted the puto bungbong yet. Because we never experienced it in mindanao before. But now that I heard it so much in TV how popular it is in Manila, I’m curious. I would like to learn how to cook it. Please, if you could give me a recipe and instructions how to do it, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much….

I love to eat puto bumbong and bibingka. I can only eat that whenever i am in manila at via mare because walang ganyan dito sa mindanao. I am interested to learn how to cook it. Any idea where I could have the short courses on pto bumbong and bibingka? Thanks

[...] Filipinos do celebrate Christmas differently, as we’ve been saying here at FS. Aside from the yummy delicacies that we load our tables with, and the other traditions/symbols we blogged about, what other Christmas traditions does your family have? [...]

Hi Marie-Louise,
We’re glad you could stop by our site. I have a very simple recipe for fruit salad. It’s a dessert that you can make ahead and keep in the refrigerator or freezer.
Here it is:

1 can (8 oz.) Nestle table cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cans (15 or 17 oz.) fruit cocktail (Del Monte brand), drained
1/2 cup cubed Cheddar cheese (optional)

Mix everything and chill before serving. You can use less condensed milk if you prefer a less sweet taste. Other ingredients you can add, if you can find them, are sweet kaong (sugar palm fruit), macapuno (a sweet coconut variety) and strips of young coconut meat. But the basic recipe by itself is already very good and easy.

Give our regards to your sister-in-law. And merry Christmas to you too!

Hi everybody!

I am a dutch woman, living in Germany, and I am writing to ask your help!

My brother married a beautiful phillipin lady this autum, and this will be her first christmas far away from her family. They will be celebrating christmas here with us, and I want to cook at least one special dish (starter or dessert) for her. Can anybody advice? we only have an general asian store here where I live, so many ingredient might not be available. I looked at the recepies posted here, but for a novice like me, they are rather complicated (mostly because I have no knowlege of the ingredients…) Would be great if you could send me some ideas.

Thanks a lot in advance and have a great Christmas this year!

Grace,

Both of my parents are Ilonggos from Negros Occidental. I was born in Bacolod City. Pancit Molo and Arroz Velenciana is what I remember from my late mom’s Christmas menu.

Uy, sarap naman yang pastanghon na yan! I’ve not tried sotanghon with tomato sauce either.

My favorite Christmas (and anytime) fiesta dish is fruit salad! Lalo na yung may buko at macapuno, yum!
