Featuring…

There will be 2 new food adventures feature this coming week! 

Feature #1:

Cafe Público - 2nd floor Promenade, Greenhills

Since I’m lucky enough to write for Manila’s hottest adventure/lifestyle website, WhenInManila.com, I just got my very first assignment! Tomorrow is the day to meet with the man behind the gelateria/restaurant Café Publico and I (+3) will get to taste all the wide range of flavors they offer! In exchange for a cool feature article of course! :P

Feature #2:

Farinas Ilocos Empanadas - Mandaluyong Circle (beside Nuat Thai)

My friend Bobbie’s opening a branch of her sister’s lovely Ilocos empanadas! And I was offered 5 super special empanadas to give away to my readers! How awesome is that?! Thanks Bobbie! 

I will be writing 2 separate feature articles, WhenInManila.com and Baked Lunchbox, so I am going to split the give aways. 2 for WhenInManila.com and 3 for Baked Lunchbox! Stay tuned on how to enter the give away contest!

FRESH BANANA ICE CREAM to beat this very very intensely hot day! Also, for the health conscious! You can now eat ice cream, attention! YOU CAN NOW EAT ICE CREAM without being guilty afterwards! Don’t you just hate it when you eat banana ice cream or banana shakes, they always leave this chunk of banana flavoring powder? Ew! That ruins the yummy ice cream moment… All the time! So here’s an easy fix for that major dilemma! Make-your-own ice cream! 1) Freeze at least 3 large bananas. Preferably overnight. 2) Grab that dusty food processor that you have never used. Now is the time! Quickly peel the bananas using a table knife then slice them: it’s easier this way so you won’t have to deal with banana mush all over your hands.  3) Pop them in the food processor all at once. Pulse one second by one second to make sure the bananas are all well-blended. Scrape sides if needed. 4) Pour to serving cups. Put back to freezer for 20 minutes. 5) Serve!  This is the simplest version of a gelato-like dessert, but without cream or any form of dairy. Only one ingredient is needed. I’m not sure if you can get the same result from different fruits because bananas produce natural creamy mushy texture, kinda like ice cream.  So you guys should give this a try! :D
