Cravings: Tikoy

An all-time favorite Chinese delight, I think I had been eating and enjoying the taste of Tikoy since childhood when every Chinese peep that we know of only give Tikoy as a gift, haha.  I enjoy it raw, yes I do eat the white variety as is, or coated in egg and fried, or wrapped in molo or lumpia wrapper like turon, I haven't tried it in stir-fried veggies yet but I heard it was yum.  Someday...

So, it wasn't a surprise when I suddenly had a craving for Tikoy in the middle of summer when the Tikoy season (Chinese New Year fever) was over.  I didn't know I was pregnant then but hey, if me wants tikoy, I should have tikoy *grins*.

What happened to these boxes?  I asked hubby to cooked it for breakfast, mid-morning and bedtime snack everyday until there's none left.  I assure you, I didn't stop there, I think I got to finish  3 more boxes before my tikoy fixation finally ended.  What a tikoy journey, haha!

Two Ways to Enjoy Tikoy

I know what you're thinking, Chinese New Year was sooo two months ago, but hey, it's better late than never, ayt? And for us tikoy-suckers, any day can be Tikoy day *grins*.

I swear I still have the half of the last (just a week or two ago) tikoy round we bought, I love to have it as breakfast, snack and, yeah, even dinner *smiles*.

Baker's Fair Beef Loaf

I've mentioned in a previous post that I had jumped in in the working mom bandwagon, I am now one of those moms who woke up early to prepare their children for school AND prepare themselves for work at the same time, and I am now one of those working moms who have coffees to go and breakfast at work.

Photo below was my breakfast one Monday morn, two weeks ago, I think :D

A branch of Baker's Fair was a few steps away from my son's school thus buying freshly-baked pastry and bread is no biggie for yours truly. I decided on a Beef Loaf that fateful day (hahaha, ang drama ng entry na itetch :P), well, it was too early and I only have that and garlic bread to choose from *grins*.



I shared it with my colleagues with a cup of Kopiko Brown coffee (three-in-one are all the rage in offices you know :D). At 45 pesos, I say, hell yeah!
