#FrannyCooks : Cheezy Corned Beef Lumpia with Delimondo

-
This year, I got to play queen for two special occasions -- my birthday and Mother's Day. I swear, I was so thrilled by all the surprise gifts that came my way. Delimondo, one of my favorite corned beef brand, made Mother's Day extra memorable for me with their special delivery. Back when I was residing in Singapore, Paul and I would make it a point to fill at least 20% of our luggage with cans of Delimondo Garlic and Chili Corned Beef. It's the yummiest and easiest thing to have when we're in a rush and we don't have time to prepare our baon or dinner. I normally would even cook this with more garlic to make it more aromatic. Of course, it's either I have it with macaroni as how Mommy taught me or a piping hot bowl of rice.

This time, we got their newest variants -- Delimondo Caldereta Corned Beef and their Sweet and Spicy Luncheon Meat.

I got to admit that this is me taking a step outside my comfort zone as I'm just so used to their original flavor. However, a little change is always good so I was equally excited to give these two products a try.

So, one afternoon I decided to pull Paul and Pan to help me prepare dinner. I initially wanted to do something like the traditional Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage Spring Rolls but since we were out of cabbage, I had to improvise. That said, let me share with you my recipe for the Cheezy Corned Beef Lumpia. Very Filipino, and I'd say the mere thought of it sounds good already.

What you'll need:
- (1) can of Delimondo Caldereta Corned Beef
- (1) pack of lumpia wrapper (approximately 20 pieces)
- (1) block of Quickmelt cheese
- Sriracha Chili Sauce
- Japanese mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup water for sealing

What to do:
1) Prepare your assembly line:
- lumpia wrapper
- add a teaspoon of corned beef and half an inch of cheese at the bottom center of the wrapper.
- wrap it carefully
- seal with water
2) Heat up a cup of cooking oil and deep-fry each lumpia until it turns golden brown
3) Strain the excess oil away. One alternative is to use those oil blotting papers from Daiso. It works like magic!
4) Prepare the sauce: mix together 2 tbsp of sriracha and 2 tbsp of Japanese mayonnaise.
5) Enjoy!

It was my first time to try this and I honestly wasn't sure of the outcome. I'm happy to share that my family loved it that the plate was spotless clean after dinner. It was so easy to prepare and would make a great baon option for the little one as well. Perhaps just replace the Sriracha mayo with just plain Japanese mayo.

Note: The Delimondo Caldereta Corned Beef is only available via the Delimondo online store. Hopefully they'll sell in major supermarkets till then, please click here.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
