That the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach is a cliche. But the reverse is a new twist. A comment posted in Pinoy Cook:
I am a hispanic American who is tired of the women in this country. I was in the Philippines in 2005 and fell in love with the country and the people. I work with this pinay nurse who is the love of my life. They say a good Filipina is hard to get and it’s true. I have spent the last year trying so hard to win her over. I decided to try someting different to show her I am always thinking of her. I made her some casava which is her favorite. She was really impressed. I am now going to try the yema balls as I remember she brought some back home from her last visit to the Philippines. I would appreciate any recipes for deserts and treats that will help me win her over. If I don’t get to see her at work during my busy schedule then I send it to her by mail with a note. Yes she’s that amazing! Thanks for the recipes. ~Jose C

Wearing your heart on your sleeves?
You know, my bf in high school used to cook yema for me. His sisters would complain that they weren’t allowed even a taste. When I went to uni, he’d always have this concoction in a box as well as other cookies & sweets. Pa-baon daw.
This post gave me a warm feeling inside.

Trip down memory lane, ha, Auee. Ako, no boy ever cooked for me. I always did the cooking for them.

tutuan mong magluto ng menstruation dish (ie, dinuguan) para talagang ma win over niya ang kanyang pinay true love.
