Do you remember getting sick when you were a kid and being made to drink Sarsi (rootbeer) with egg? It tasted like eggnog actually. My great grandma would tell me that it would make me strong and immune to viruses. I doubted it but drank every glass of Sarsi with egg given to me. It might have made me strong because I rarely get sick even now. Then again, it might have just been a cool drink guaranteed to take away the blistering heat.

Sinampalukang manok
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011My maternal side of the family came from Bulacan. Almost all the elder relatives we have there are good cooks! I remember whenever we would go during the summer or for the fiesta, the food prepared for us would fill our stomachs until we couldn’t eat another morsel. Everything was delicious!
My favorite among all the dishes being prepared for us back then was the Sinampalukang Manok (Chicken in Tamarind Stew). It’s so delicious! Too bad the person responsible for that very delicious dish already passed away. For me nobody can duplicate that dish!
