It's Merienda Time!

Living in the cultural of the Philippines there is always room for merienda (snack) that comes between after lunch and before having your dinner.

Filipino love to eat and they also love to entertain guest with food it gives them a time to express their hospitality to their guest and bond with them as they eat together.

Even if we have no guest in our home we still have merienda in our home and my mother in-law loves to have extra food for their staff as they work hard to her it is a given thing everyone needs to find time to eat.

They always eat merienda with a cup of coffee even if we live in a tropical climate coffee is a part of their beverage eaten with their merienda.


Today, our merienda was not cooked by our cook this time we decided to buy something that is called, pichi pichi and cassava cake. Pichi Pichi is made of cassava with shredded cheese on the top. Cassava is a starch comes from a root.
