Laughter with Mom Violy, Carmina, Ruel, Neria and Marissa

Mom Violy wanted to get a haircut from Ruel from Hairliners Salon in Ali Mall. She was saying if they are not too busy wanted to get a pedicure.  Ruel had introduce Marissa to Mom Violy who can do her pedicure. Neria had approached me saying she has no client. I was able to get my facial done while Mom Violy was busy having her beauty treatments. Mom Violy had introduced me to Marissa saying they wanted to add each other in Facebook. They had no clue how to do it. Both Mom Violy and Marissa handed their phone to me.  Ruel had informed Marissa that I am doing Poppo Live.  Marissa asked for some pointers how to use the Poppo Live application on her phone. I taught her the basics found out she is in an agency.  I don't understand why her agency is not giving her tips how to use Poppo Live.  Ruel had informed me he would also like to join Poppo Live just been so busy from his work. I told everyone to gather and take pictures together since we've haven't seen each other for a lo

Tikoy Chinese Dessert Recipe


Tikoy comes during the month of February in celebration of Chinese New Year. 

Tikoy is made of glutinous rice that has been pounded and shape into a circle like a cake form that is flat. You can it in Eng Bin Tin or Chinese deli.

There are different types of flavor to choose from tikoy that becomes available:
  1. White Tikoy
  2. Brown Tikoy
  3. Muscovado Tikoy
  4. Red Bean Tikoy
  5. Sweet Corn Tikoy
  6. Ube Flavor
  7. Pandan Flavor
There are different ways to cook tikoy
  • Some people scramble the egg into a bowl and dip the sliced tikoy than fry it under little amount of cooking oil.
  • My favorite way cooking tikoy is just like a turon. Instead of using banana I would add slice tikoy with jack fruit. You can find my recipe in Filipino turon.
Tip:

The reason why I don't like frying with egg it is hard to get it from the pan. It spread and gets sticky afterwards.

I find it easier to wrap in a lumpia wrapper and stays form inside being wrapped up.

Tikoy is very popular and it becomes a popular gift during that time.

Tikoy is best fresh and should be refrigerate after been used. I prefer to slice it up and place in a Tupperware. Once you place it in the refrigerated it can be hard to cut into pieces.

Once the tikoy is in the fridge for a long time it tends to get molded in a later period of time.
