Cooking instructions
One of the more popular recipes in my food blog is cassava bibingka with custard topping.
Speedy says the recipe is all wrong. And he has said this more than once — there isn’t enough custard. He said it again today.
Left photo: “The bibingka should be this thin.”
Right photo: “The custard should be THIS thick.”
Told him more than once too that it was impossible — the custard would break and fall apart if it were THAT thick.
So, he supplemented the instructions: “Use cling wrap to shore up the sides of the custard to prevent it from falling apart. Use toothpicks to keep the wrap in place if you need to.”
My husband is such an amazing cook, really.

Maybe you can make him some custard with cassava crust…
Seems like Speedy have some great ideas. You should let him do it. I am sure it will be heavenly delicious. I’ll have a capuccino with that.

JMonreal (what’s with the modified nick?), re “You should let him do it.”
Ahhhh… ummmm… I think not LOL
He’s an engineer, Inna. So, yeah, it figures, eh?
thanks Connie for the recipe of cassava bibingka. i will definitely try this one of these days and might even experiment if the thicker custard is doable.
I want to go back to the Philippines and be a cook. Hahaha, Coney mukhang tine-take-over na ni Speedy ang blog and skills mo. Yesterday, the sunset in Galera and now the recipes.
Have fun, Belle!
Kotsengkuba, aba, he’s welcome to do it. I can retire! hahahaha
Masarap naman sigurong kainuman sa blog si speedy okey na rin..he he he..
LOL! ms.sassy, parang nang-iinsulto si mr. sassy sa pictures ah, buti hindi ka napikon : )
i love cassava cake..nagutom tuloy ako : (
Just like Speedy, my wife does all the cooking at home. But I am the official tester, especially when it comes to desserts. I brew the coffee in the morning, plus the cafe con leche or cappuccino any time of the day or night. I also do the bar-b-que. I guess all (?) or most engineers are like that.
well, my husband doesn’t cook but he’s the critic. When i have new recipes, he’s the one giving me the thumbs up or down. I guess that’s their job! But, lol! who cares? as long as it tastes great! Happy Mother’s Day, Connie!
Yes, Happy Mother’s Day to all moms out there, especially to the Filipino mothers – loving, caring and hardworking – they are the best!
i still have the ingredients for the casava cake in the freezer; i think i need to throw them away coz they’ve been sitting there for three years now. i dont have the courage to bake one, ugh! happy mother’s day, connie!
Happy Mothers’ Day, Connie!
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers here.
So does it really work??
Am LOLing now, because my husband is like that too. Always, always, he seems to have better ideas of how to cook something. But hanggang ganun lang, idea lang.
Belated happy mother’s day!
Happy mother’s day to you all!! Kainis, I couldn’t make a timely greeting. Am on dial-up now and everything is sooooooo slow. Can’t even bloghop.
Chateau, NO, it does not hahahaha
