Boat Tarts from Nueva Ecija

My sister-in-law is a native of Nueva Ecija, a province in the Central Luzon which considered as the “Rice Granary of the Philippines” because it is one of the top producers of agricultural products in the country.

Nueva Ecija is considered the main rice growing province of the Philippines and the leading producer of onions in the Municipality of Bongabon in South East Asia. It is currently the 9th richest province in the country. Its principal crops is mainly rice, in fact, the family of my sister-in-law is one of the thousands rice planter in Munoz.

My brother and her wife used to visit her family in Nueva Ecija whenever they got a chance to escape from the crowded population, not to mention the alarming pollution in the urban and take a sniff of fresh air.

Their “pasalubong” whenever they get back home is the most anticipated one, of course, aside from their presence, we look forward to the food that they want us to taste aside from pizzas and burgers.

They brought us this boat tart, that’s what the packaging says, although I know it’s a tart, but maybe they call it boat because it shapes like one.

Crunchy and Chewey Boat Tart from Nueva Ecija

This boat tart is really crunchy and chewey on the outside and really creamy on the inside. My sister-in-law mentioned that the reason why these tarts are creamy and milky because they use fresh cow's milk. I can’t even remember how the kids scolded me for eating more than my share. I’ve tasted some of the tarts that are available here in Metro Manila but this one is really different. How I wish that Nueva Ecija is just a few minutes away from here. <sigh>

ENERGEN: My Tummy's Best Friend

I’ve always had a history of hyper-acidity (also known as acid dyspepsia) since high school. I don’t know when or how did I get it, all I know is just it’s screwing me for over a decade. I am a slow-gainer. I was very skinny back in my elementary days. My mom let me tried different kinds of vitamins but none of them took effect on me. My dad is an OFW back then and when he comes home he jokingly asks my mom if she’s still feeding her kids because me and my only brother look like bamboo sticks (that’s what our bullies called us because we’re thin and tall) even if we get to eat whatever we want. Maybe we have a fast metabolism which everybody envies about especially now that I have kids already, eating everything that I want and still not getting fat. I remember the times that I’ve been hospitalized because of hyper-acidity. The doctor will always come up to a theory that I might be skipping meals but honestly not. Then he’ll ask me if I drink a lot of soda or coffee and de

What’s the Best Tasting Milk for Pregnant Women?

I just gave birth five months ago. When I was still pregnant, I was given the chance to try three different kinds of milk that is best suitable for pregnant women. Every time I visit my OB-Gynecologist, there was always a sample of milk especially made for pregnant women given by the promo representatives of each milk in the waiting area. I have tried at least three of them and I would like to give you my honest opinions regarding its taste because this kinds of milk are known to have unpleasant taste since it is loaded with vitamins and essential nutrients so it is tend to taste like medicine even if it is flavored.

Discounts and Privileges for the Persons With Disability

It was only last year when I heard about the PWD card that would give the persons with disability (PWD) the privileges entitled for their needs. The local government amended the Republic Act No. 7277, an act for providing for the rehabilitation, self development, and self reliance of persons with disability and their integration into the mainstream of society and for other purposes and otherwise known as The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons, was passed in March 24, 1992. I am a proud mom of a six-year old child with special needs. He is my second child who was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay Syndrome. Ever since he was a baby, we noticed some of his traits on lack of potential at certain points of development that made us confused about what to do so we consulted to a Developmental Pediatrician. He was born as an eight-month premature baby boy, sickly and always in the hospital for a long period of time. We're taking good care of him with unconditional love and
