“Red Curry Beef” is originally a Thai dish. I found this from the recipe book hubby bought me awhile ago. In this excellent dish, the spicy red curry paste with creamy coconut milk and the refreshing aroma of lime leaves are combined. I prepared this recipe for the first time on my last birthday party. I tell you, this was a hit!!! Try this tempting Beef stir fry recipe to spice up your meals!

Chocolate Cake With Creamy Chocolate Frosting

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

I had been trying to bake chocolate cake with that creamy chocolate frosting like the one I’ve tasted in Davao. But unfortunately, I never succeed. So last Friday, I “combed” the whole web to find for the frosting recipe again. There were more than a hundreds of recipes I found but selected only two. The first one I made end up in the trash bin and the second was a success. Wow, I finally got the right mixture of creamy oh so creamy chocolate frosting.

My husband who came in the kitchen later was shaking his head as he saw the kids faces smeared with chocolate cream. My chocolate monsters had great fun eating the leftovers with their fingers.

To chocolate lovers like me, I’m going to share to you both chocolate chiffon cake and frosting recipe. By the way, this delicious chocolate chiffon cake recipe uses cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate to give it its wonderful taste. Please make sure to use cake flour for this cake.

I unfortunately forgot to save the link of the author, that means I also can’t add her name.

Welcome

Hello and welcome everyone! I would like to introduce to you my new blog…err…food blog of course. Matagal ko ring pinag-iisipan kong ito ba ay aking gagawin o hindi. Now I finally made up my mind, kaya ito at binuo ko na nang tutuhanan ang aking "What’s to eat Mom?" food blog. Ito ay handog ko para sa aking mga kababayan na gustong matutong magluto o naghahanap ng panibagong lutuin. Ito ay taos puso ko ring inihahandog para sa aking mga kaibigan na nandito sa Germany.

Ladies, alam na alam ko kong gaano kahirap ang mag-isip kong ano ang lulutuin araw-araw. At alam ko rin kong gaano kahirap para sa mga baguhan dito sa Germany ang maghanap ng mga sangkap para sa isang lutuing (Pilipino o Aleman) ihahanda dahil sa lengguwahe. Len, a friend of mine who live in Stuttgart once told me…siya daw ay pinawisan ng husto noong siya ay unang magluto. She was holding two books, her recipe book in german and german-english dictionary. It took her long to finish the meal she wanted to serve for dinner that day. Kaya naisipan ko, na kong gagawa rin lang ako ng food blog it should also have a purpose. So here you go. I promise I’m going to add the german term (if needed) of every single ingredients of the recipes you are going to find here.

Now let me add my primary recipe, Buko-Pandan. Honestly speaking natikman ko ito nang unang beses noong umuwi ako sa Davao last Feb 2005. Mula noon, hinding-hindi ko na makakalimutan ang amoy at lasa nito. I was about to ask the cook for the recipe, but well…nahiya ako. So when I came back home, I started googling for it and voila I found one from Pinoy Cook. I modified her original recipe a bit dahil ang mga sangkap na nakalista ay hindi na dito mabibili ng presko katulad ng buko. I prepared Buko Pandan for the first time last 3 weeks ago when we had a small party. Nagustuhan ito ng mga bisita. Kaya noong nagkaroon ako ng time para kumain na sana ng dessert, eh ito pala ay ubos na. So I went to the Asia Shop again last Saturday to buy the ingredients and made a portion just for us. Hmmm, it’s really delicious! If you like to get my recipe version please gohere.
