Pag nasa Circle C ako, hindi rin maiwasan na hindi kakain kahit sandali lang na mags-stay dun. Maraming mga food stall na pwedeng mabilhan ng pagkain, at dalawa na nga itong Jajoma at Kuya's sa mga nabilhan ko.
Albeit not being able to recall which was the first milk tea I've tasted this, Happy Lemon's Green Tea With Rock Salt, is the first I've tried if you're going to talk about those teas which have creams on top.
Ano ba makukuha sa gelatin?
I've been eating gelatin for years (unflavored nga lang o kaya pag may gatas, ayoko 'yung maasim) before I raised that question of what nutrients are in a gelatin. I decided to search my knowledgeable friend, google, and found out that it's full of proteins and amino-acids. However, as I was searching, I also found out that gelatin is made from animals? Which part of animals? Bones, pigskin..., animal collagen. Whaaatthefff? From what I know, gelatin from the Philippines aren't animal derived but from a seaweed. So, I continued searching and yes, eventhough gelatin and gulaman are interchangeable in the Philippine context, the ingredients are very much different. Gulaman's derived from a seaweed with a scientific name of Gracilaria Compressa or Agar-Agar for a more familiar name (I think) More infos.: 1, 2, 3 and 4.
So, the other day, we had that dessert from Goldilock's named Cathedral's Window which I didn't like at all because of the sour taste of the gulaman. But since I wanted to eat, I just cooked my own gulaman, apparently we had Lady's Choice Clear Alsa at home and other ingredients as well, I decided to make Leche Tin instead. A combination of Leche Flan ingredients and gelatin.
Note: Too lazy to look up the measurements so I didn't follow any on this, I just made it according to my taste... or instinct.
2 eggs, 1 Can of Evaporated Milk, 1/2 Can of Condensed Milk for 1 box of unflavored alsa. |
Alsa is sold in those small boxes which would be easier to cook rather than this one that we have at home. Tantiyahan 'to ng sobra, nakakatamad kumuha ng timbangan. |
2. It also tastes good even if it's just a combination of all-purpose cream and gulaman. .
