man o man i think my creative blog's turning into a cooking blog. my love for food is slowly beginning to uncover.
a a and today's special is... EMPANADA!!!
oh how they remind me so much of the Philippines. love love love
i remember how on vacation every year i would go to a mall in the Philippines like Greenbelt 5, Power Plant mall or Shangri-La and always search for empanaditas that they usually sell in SM malls.
oh SM. it's always some of the most overly crowded malls in the Philippines but has the best food in booths spread across the mall. they say that in the Philippines, more so Manila, there is not a minute that goes by where food is not mentioned/seen.
oh Philippines. i really love the Philippines no matter what. I've never stayed there for more than a month - a dream of mine is to live in the Philippines for a year or so one day.
and because of my trying hard to be vegetarian side, i made veggie empanada. the filling i created by mixing in some veggie meat (tofu), beef stock (w/out msg), portobello mushrooms, garlic, onion, spices, bay leaf and brie cheese! the weirdest combination probably to date in the empanada history, but oh it tasted good. the crust i made by myself too and it was perfect. texture was crispy yet soft and the flavour was great because the veggie meat tasted like meat. really.
