This is one of the most iconic symbols of the holidays in the Philippines, although the ensaymada is available year round, too. Since I cannot find any good ensaymadas here in America, I started baking my own batch. The two-day process may seem tedious at first, but once the buttery buns are out of the oven, you will realize it was all worth it. Bake them ahead, freeze and reheat them for a more convenient pace. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-ensaimadas-filipino-brioche-buns-with-butter-and-cheese/feed/ 8 4814 https://thequirinokitchen.com/waffles-with-spanish-chorizos-how-my-sons-cook-for-me/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/waffles-with-spanish-chorizos-how-my-sons-cook-for-me/#comments Sat, 10 May 2014 22:00:21 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4465 Waffles with Spanish Chorizos are savory, slightly spicy sausages cooked, then crumbled to cook into fluffy, crisp waffles.

So, in celebration of two birthdays this week: the blog’s and mine, I recreated this favorite cake and re-shot more delightful photos. As with all the recipes I’ve cooked, I remain steadfast in disclosing I am not a trained chef nor am I a whiz at cake decorating. But years of home cooking and baking for my family have trained me to churn the best dishes and desserts that hit the spot every time.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/manila-mango-chiffon-cake-with-mango-icing-happy-birthday/feed/ 32 3760 https://thequirinokitchen.com/the-castella-japanese-sponge-cake-and-a-tokyo-trip-in-4-days/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/the-castella-japanese-sponge-cake-and-a-tokyo-trip-in-4-days/#comments Wed, 10 Oct 2012 03:00:24 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=3004 Japan is joyous to visit. Tokyo was always a 2 hour layover for us to and fro flights to Manila. This trip, we stayed longer than a layover and took a few days vacation. Tokyo was terrific! Why had we never done this before, we asked ourselves?

The original ones from Singapore have a pastry that is shaped like a round floral cookie, and the pineapple filling is in the center. I don't have the traditional pastry mold for these tarts, so I baked these shaped like mini, round empanadas. These tarts had such an intense buttery aroma, that I won't wait till next year to make them again. This recipe was adapted from the site FreshFromTheOven. Makes about 18 bite-sized pieces.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/pineapple-tarts-treats-for-chinese-new-year-lunar-year-of-the-dragon/feed/ 21 1164 https://thequirinokitchen.com/manila-mango-chiffon-cake-2/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/manila-mango-chiffon-cake-2/#comments Mon, 16 May 2011 03:25:46 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=457 Manila mangoes are the sweetest in the world. I grew up with them in the Philippines and learned to bake with them. Here's a family favorite with mangoes, the Manila Mango Chiffon Cake. I've baked this so often over the years, but we never get tired of the sweet, tropical flavors. It's easy to bake and put together. This recipe is best done with golden ripe "ataulfo" mangoes, during its peak season which is the spring, here in the USA or in the Philippines, during their summer.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/manila-mango-chiffon-cake-2/feed/ 84 457
