Torta from Zamboanguita

By | Proud to be Pinoy!, Travel, Yummy! | No Comments

We arrived in Dumaguete at around 10 am, checked in out hotel and immediately left to have lunch at Malatapay.  On the way there, we stopped by this place to try Torta which is only made here.  This was not in the itinerary but our tour guide Jac knows a lot about food 🙂  So he recommended this and I made sure we stopped.  There is no address, it is on the left side of the road on the way to Malatapay Market – it is a few minuted before the market

Torta is made out of tuba as a dough riser.  They say you keep the bread overnight and eat it the next day.  But we prefer it hot and fresh! YUMMY!!!  We ate it the day after, it was still okay but it was a bit rubbery already 🙂  They like it that way 🙂

Dell’s 4 years after

By | Great Achievements, Yummy! | No Comments

I am so happy to see my batch mate, Karla Siopongco-Campos and dine at her place called Dell’s!

The last time was 4 1/2 years ago.  

Previous entry: Dell’s Foodhall December 6, 2014

 And I remember I featured her in my website and she had 11 locations.  Four and a half years after, she now has 22!  Doubled just like that!  I am so happy for her.  Dell is the Mom of Karla and when she was in high school her Mom was running 20 cafeterias and she would even pull out Karla from school when she needed an extra hand in the business.  So at an early age, Karla was already exposed to the cafeteria industry.  It was only when her Mom was not physically well that she was sent back from the States to come to the Philippines and her mission was to close the business.  So from twenty locations, she was left with one.  And from that one, she bought the business from her Mom and then now grew it to 22!  WOW!  Congrats and more power to Dell’s and to my friend!! 

We went to the Bonifacio Global City branch and she renovated it from the last time we were here which was four years ago 🙂

Love this photo leading up to the second floor.  It’s Dell’s pastry chef –

We started at 1030am so we would beat the crowd and true enough at 12 noon the line was already long and we left to make room for the customers

Here we are getting out to make way for many customers lining up 🙂

We moved next door because the birthday girl, Karla, wanted Starbucks.  Apparently the book of Howard Schultz of Starbucks inspired her!  Pour Your Heart Into It – A Must read for every entrepreneur according to Karla!  No wonder you are successful my friend 🙂

the tree extends over the bamboo walls of our house, so it is behind that coconut tree 

I went under to see and there were quite a few fruits growing

Here is the yummy langka, according to my husband who loves langka

I shared them with some friends 🙂

Eds gave me a tip since she knows I have a lot of langka.  She said you can freeze them and eat them like ice candy!!  Good idea!!
