Published by

Survivors of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) need your help. We have friends who’s family is in Ormoc and Palompon Tacloban who have not slept in days trying to contact relatives, after 3 days they finally got good news that everyone is safe. Omar’s two kids are lucky that they have coconut meat to eat. Some survivors don’t have shelter and food. If you are wondering how you can help, I have a list of organizations below accepting donations. Philippine Red Cross World Food Programme Save the Children Unicef Habitat for Humanity The Philippine Consulate of Dubai is hosting a Brunch for Cause this Friday (November 15), you can also drop off relief goods that day. Thank you.

Ube Cheesecake

Published by

For the past month I’ve been working on improving the taste of the Ube Cheesecake. Daddy C who is a big fan of Ube Cake requested that I re-create the taste of ube ice cream for the cheesecake. The first batch of ube cheesecake was baked using just mashed boiled ube  and the 2nd batch was enhanced with ube flavoring. I discussed the boys comments with Sandy my sister from another mother who lives in Vienna and she suggested I try making it again but this time use halaya (jam). See ube doesn’t have any distinct taste you need to add butter and salt to boiled one or macapuno to enhance it’s flavor.
