Continue reading →: LP IV: Long, Slow Eating (It’s All Pinoy Soul Food!)The November edition of Lasang Pinoy challenges us to think about Filipino soul food. What exactly is this? Until gracious host Minnette announced the theme, I didn’t realise soul food has its roots in African-American culture. So it IS related to soul music, which is the African-American style of combining elements of gospel music…

Trust Ting over at World Class Cuiscene to come up with a catchy phrase. She was the one who coined Lasang Pinoy after much brainstorming on what we’d call the Filipino food blogging event a few of us were then planning. This time around, she couldn’t but help herself to Yemagate! Tiresome affair! I never…

For this month’s Lasang Pinoy, Minnette chose the theme All Pinoy Soul Food! Now that it’s getting cold, that would be perfect! We’re on our fourth month and it seems like everyone’s enjoying the events. We keep on discovering new Filipino food blogs. We also love it when non-food bloggers join in. And…

A preview of what is to come… The picture on the left is of regular lowland irrigated palé which will become abias and then nasi. In English this time: Palé is Capampangan for standing rice stalks and the unhusked rice grains. Milling would turn it into abias and when cooked is called nasi. In Tagalog, those terms would be palay, bigas and kanin respectively. On…

Everyone is invited! I wrote about last year’s Duman Festival on this blog. This year, I’m making good on my promise to document the process of bringing it from the field to the table. In fact, I was out taking pictures of the lacatan malutu (red-husked glutinous rice plants) yesterday, with two of Arti Sta. Rita’s…

In an attempt to efficiently enforce taxation, on 21 November 1849, the Spanish Governor General Narciso Clavería ordered a systematic distribution of surnames for the native population. Names from the Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos were assigned to families in all towns. The distribution was in alphabetical order and caused some small towns…

By Manny Soriano [For this month’s Lasang Pinoy, I am glad to once again host an entry contributed by a Filipino-Canadian food and music enthusiast. He was born and educated in the Philippines and migrated to Canada in 1971. His mother was an excellent and practical pastry and savoury cook who…

Food blogging synchronicity happens so often that we just take it for granted. When it happens in real life, it’s almost surreal. Auntie L. brought slices of ube-macapuno cake the other day. Ube is purple yam and macapuno is coconut sport or freak coconut. It is a variety of coconut (Cocos nucifera) without a cavity and…

Early yesterday evening I was out on the street literally searching for food. This is new. I eat my share of street food but it’s usually from ambulant vendors of taho (sweet soy bean curd) and sorbetes (traditional home-made ice cream). I have also bought food from parked carts but fish balls and buco juice (young…
