Mr. Nicholas V., who owns Intelliblog, with his post: Smoked Salmon Pizza

My family and I just love pizza! Honestly, am drooling just looking at this shot... Intelliblog is Mr. Nicholas V.'s own personal site with a wide selection of topics. But what immediately caught my attention when I went visiting was that he always starts his posts with a quote. If you haven't visited his blog yet, I highly encourage you to do so. Definitely well worth the click!

Something which we had for breakfast: Pan de Sal with Fried Kesong Puti (white cheese), Tomatoes, and Toge (mung bean sprouts).

Ingredients:

• fresh pandesal
• kesong puti (sliced then fried lightly; i used butter sparingly)
• sliced tomatoes
• sauteed mung bean sprouts
• dried dill leaf tips (optional)

Procedure:

• Slice kesong puti then fry lightly in butter. While frying, slice the pan de sal halfway through. Slice the tomatoes, set aside.
• After frying the kesong puti, saute the mung bean sprouts in the remaining butter. After that, it's just a matter of assembling everything...
• Put the sauteed mung bean sprouts in between the sliced pan de sal, then the cheese, tomatoes, sprinkling of dill (optional), and then topped with cheese again.
• Bite. :P

My youngest wasn't feeling "adventurous" with his food; he decided he wanted his pan de sal with the fried kesong puti only. lol. My eldest son and I enjoyed this unusual bread filling and he said he wants to have it again the next day! :)

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
