Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try Mamou . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2. Upon entering the person asked if we had any reservations however, they do except walk as well was seated at the table of our choice. The person had handed us the menu. Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice. Carmina had ordered Beer Battered Fish and Malt Vinegar with choice of pot
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:
- White Tikoy
- Brown Tikoy
- Muscovado Tikoy
- Red Bean Tikoy
- Sweet Corn Tikoy
- Ube Flavor
- Pandan Flavor
- 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.
