Adventures of the Happy Tummy

Tired of the slice of your usual chocolate cake? Who says food should be boring? Ok, I love chocolate. But I hate boring. My friend sent me a nice, long, loaf of plainly sweet choco cake and I've been eating it with my family for the last week. So I thought.... what if...? Alright here goes: Prepare 1 plain chocolate slice on a microwave-able dish. Swirl some condensed milk over the top. Sprinkle top are with powdered parmesan cheese. Heat in microwave for 25-30 seconds. Serve immediately! Haha. Salty and sweet. Crispy cheese layer on top of cake-turned-mush-due-to-milk. Fantastic!

Empanadas are usually fist-sized pinched pastry pies with meat and/or veggies enveloped in a baked or fried flaky crust. These ones are tiny, baked, and have gourmet stuffings: Cheddar Semi-sweet chocolates Cream cheese and chives Peanut butter and Nutella! Plus, the crust is soft and chewy! We ate some immediately after we got the package. Careful, they're quite warm & sometimes the filling oozes out. Trick is to eat it by the pinched area 1st and nibble through the cute, fat body. Or better, just pop them in your mouth :) These delicious morsels go for Php40/ 6pcs. Nutella variand is premium at Php65/ 6pcs. Regular sized variands: creamy spinach, ham & cheese. Note: The hot chocolate in the photo is from our office's vendin machine. Empanada Mas 2nd Fl Food Center The Enterprise Center Legaspi Village, Paseo de Roxas, Makati City

I asked for cheese and lookit what I got... CHEESE!!! I looked in the fridge and saw 9?! Excluding the pack of herbed feta we have just consumed! Parmesan - grated/powdery or shaved (more flavor) for our Sunday Spaghetti Smoked - uberly good for sweet sausages like chicken ala cubana :) Emmental - to pair with Hungarian sausages; melted for munching without the woody taste on your tongue Blue - pungent... a tiny li'l pinch will do! I went straight to the toilet after digesting about a teaspoon on my veggie salad :) Feta - cubed with herbs, great for salads Cheddar - must have this always Cheddar slices - milky, great for breakfast sandwiches Cheese Melt/Melt Sarap - cheddar, quickmelt. For baked lasagna and cheesy potatoes too! Cream Cheese - to dillute the blue! Cheez Whiz - cheese spread great for nacho dipping, baked potato topping or just plainly on bread slices for a cheese snack!
