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.

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.
