In reply to Victoresita Torres Smith. Thanks Victoresita. How nice you found my website. Paradadas was a favorite merienda my late mom-in-law (whose roots were from Sta. Rita) prepared for us. Enjoy and come visit again soon :)

My 1st time to visit your website: I was looking for a capampangan recipe for pan de sal, and I’mso glad I found you and “paradadas’! I grew up in Magalang and I’m one of those Pampanguenas who can’t cook! now when I’m hungry for our food I have to look it up online, ha,ha!

In reply to Karl.

Oh.My.God.Yes, Karl, I am so happy to hear someone else, a ‘kabalen’ at that, KNOWS what “paradadas” is! My late Mom-in-law made these all the time when we came to visit. It was regular merienda fare together with Kapampangan fruit salad! And like you, I was in the Pampanga area last Feb. – pls see my travel stories on this blog about them. Check out “Pampanga Culinary Heritage Tours” which I did for a whole day. What an amazing culture we have, don’t we? Thanks for the blog-visit. Hope to have you around again soon!

I FINALLY find someone else who is lucky enough to know what PARADADAS are! We grew up loving these extra special treats as my late Kapampangan Lola would make them for us. Her son, my father, would make them for us on the weekend for breakfast and my brother and I now make them for friends for special occasions and people just love them. We never meet anyone else who knows what they are outside of our family.
Our family is from Bacolor (Sta. Inez), Pampanga and I recently traveled there last February and asked why none of our Filipino friends knew of them and they were actually surprised that no one knew of them.
My Lola would add ground meat, potato, tomato, onion and garlic to hers and use either pan de sal or a dinner roll such as a French roll etc.
So excited to know that other families are lucky enough to enjoy these very special treats.

In reply to Laurel. Hi Laurel. I added the amount of raisins to 3/4 cup. You may use either dark raisins or the yellow, light colored-ones, or a combination of both. When my kids were little, they preferred the light colored yellow raisins. Now they're grown and eat anything. Thanks for the blog-visit!

In reply to Nami | Just One Cookbook. Thanks, Nami! I had to smile at what you said. I would love to have you as a daughter, or younger sister and pamper you with all these treats. This is another easy treat for your "bento boxes". My late mother in law always had this waiting for us when we visited her. Your kids will love it! Thanks for the kind comments and blog-visit. I appreciate your taking the time to say such nice things. All the best, Nami :-)
