Lady E Eats

This post is for all my man friends out there who rely on this blog to feed them (haha!) or give them ideas on what to eat aside from the regular junk food that they buy dyan sa tabi tabi. Or at the very least, give them a nudge to eat decent food. We were supposed to have this for baon but my kuya invited us for lunch so we had this for dinner instead. Filipinos are very creative when it comes to cooking food that will feed every member of the family. Even some well-off families serve simple gisa or sauteed dishes. Men are also taught this very simple way of cooking. Ginisa dishes often include a vegetable and some meat. But some go without the meat especially if the budget is low. Ginisa is very popular with the middle class, down because they normally have soup which is a good extender and helps you get full without eating too much. This is especially true with families in the poverty line. Hot soup over rice is enough to feed the family. To cook this, saute some chopped gar...

Baguio Adventures 2025: Good Shepherd Haul and a Review

The only things I buy from Good Shepherd are Ube and Strawberry Jam. The Strawberry Jam was out of stock and I saw these ube crinkles so I got them. My sister also asked me to buy Snowballs for her. I haven't tasted those yet but she says they're her favorite. Have you tried Snowballs? If you have, I'd love to hear from you. Drop your comment below. Here are the ube crinkles. They taste like gata (coconut milk). The taste is very overpowering. It's also too sweet for me. The texture is good, just like how a good crinkle should be. But as you can see, the sizes are not uniform. I'd have to say this is not for me. Price List (as of writing) Ube Jam - Php350 (limited to 2 per person) Snowballs - Php310 (limited to 1 per person) Ube Crinkles - Php240 Good Shepherd Convent CJCG+P69 Gibraltar Road, Baguio City, Benguet If you want to learn more about our Baguio Adventure, check out: My Quest for the Perfect Travel Bag Why You Should Always Pack a Red Lipstick When You ...

Good Shepherd Ube Crinkles vs. Amira’s Chocolate Crinkles: Which One Gets My Thumbs Up?

Pasalubong - noun. Homecoming gift. Two pasalubong classics. Two different cities. One sweet verdict. Baguio and Tagaytay each have their own crinkle pride—Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe ube crinkles that I got from Good Shepherd (Baguio) and Amira’s chocolate crinkles (Tagaytay) . At first glance, they couldn’t be more different: one’s a delicate purple bite, the other a deep cocoa round. But do they both deliver on taste? Good Shepherd Ube Crinkles Technically, I got this from Good Shepherd, but the brand on the packaging says Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe. Pretty on the outside, but the first bite was a letdown. The sweetness is overwhelming, and the strong coconut milk flavor overpowers the ube. It’s too rich, leaving little room for the gentle, earthy notes we expect from a true ube treat. For us, it felt more like a coconut candy in disguise than a balanced ube crinkle. I had a hard time finishing one. I tried to finish it because I was ...
