Durian + Chocolate

I know, some people HATE durian, and I can't blame them. The smell takes some getting used to, while the taste is totally out of this world! lol. But, I happen to love durian, and that's why I was so happy when hubby got me these durian-filled chocolates above. Yup, durian-filled. Totally made my day! :)

*i liked them chilled rather than at room temperature. :)

Something Simple and Easy, that's what I want to call my Food Friday post for this week. :h

Ingredients used:

• toasted bread
• tomatoes, oranges, parsley
• extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper
• kesong puti

Kesong puti (lit. "white cheese" in Filipino) or Filipino fresh cheese is a soft, white cheese, similar to cottage cheese, made from unskimmed carabao's milk, salt and rennet.^[1] It has a soft, close texture and slight salty taste. Some commercial versions are slightly sour due to the use of vinegar in place of rennet. This cheese originated from and is produced in the provinces of Laguna, Bulacan, Samar, and Cebu. In the Philippines, it is a popular breakfast fare eaten with the freshly baked local bread called pan de sal.

Everything's just a matter of toasting (the bread slices), slicing (the kesong puti and the toasted bread slices), then assembling them on the plate, together with the other ingredients. The drizzling (of the olive oil) and the grinding of the black pepper over the the cheese and bread finishes everything off. Really easy. And tasty! :$

I read in a food post somewhere that they also fry the kesong puti first (in margarine, or butter) before eating it together with pan de sal...got to try that sometime! :P

Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds overload! I have no idea what they are called (the package was written in Chinese); one of my sisters gave us a pack after her business trip to China.

Each square is more or less about an inch big (or small, lol). But it was packed with all the sesame flavor that I loved. There were two variations: sesame seeds with peanuts and sesame seeds with dessicated coconut. :$

Angi and Yuè of Say Cheese, with their post:
Peach Squares

First, I really like how the shots were processed... so vintage-like; reminded me so much of those good ol' days. Back then, I didn't have to think about budgets and menus. lol. But seriously, Say Cheese is a photoblog that covers a wide variety of topics. From nature to interior designs, street photos, food, and much much more! Browsing through their site is such a pleasurable experience...I encourage you to go ahead and experience it for yourself!

My post for this week is something really light...my version of the TLC sandwich.

Ingredients are few:

• whole wheat bread
• tomatoes, lettuce (i used romaine), cheese (crumbled cheddar)
• olive oil, dried dill leaf tips, balsamic vinegar

All just a matter of 'piling' them up:

• Put lettuce on top of a piece of bread, then add the tomatoes.
• Next the crumbled cheese. Sprinkle some dried dill leaf tips, then some olive oil.
• Add some drops of balsamic vinegar then cover with the other piece of bread.

Easy, fast, and a nutritious snack! :L
