“Leche flan is not native to the Philippines, but a re-worked version of the creme caramel dessert popular with the country’s Spanish colonizers and neighbouring France. “

Cultural appropriation! Boycott! haha

[Fido969]

Too many adjectives. I hate this writing style.

No sweet tooth here, plus we are gluten free. Allergies....

I swear my English teacher counted the adjectives....and you needed 30 in a paragraph just for a “C”.

“…. , chef Kimberly Camara and her partner, Kevin Borja….”

I hate the new word “partner” for relationships that should say “husband and wife” instead.

In my day, “partner” was for law firms, golf courses and cattle drives.

The “Soup Nazi” strikes again? :)

If they are living as married but not married but shacking up, “partner” works as good as anything else to avoid the reality of fornication.

Honestly, I read it as they were just business partners.

[Getready]

Desserts and circuses.

5000 on the waiting list?

I’m going to Krispy Kreme.

The city will find a way to shut them down. Eventually.

Ube. Very good.

If they’re as business-savvy as they seem to be, they would be setting up an operation in one of the Free States.

My native born Filipina wife, owns a bakery, but it’s angel food/chiffon cakes that they want here. 😄😀

Depending on how their business was set up, it might be that “partner” is the correct legal term. As in “business partner”.

My sis in law is Filipina. The purple yam is UBE. And “leche flan” is a Better version of what the Mexicans have. By a thousand miles. Its supposed to be Brown & orange. The best one i buy is the brand name one in Filipino stores called island something (forgot the last word.

And both are ingredients in halo halo or mix mix (eng tl)

Don’t see a lot of purple food these days.

These pastries……….rhubarb…………………Uncle Dave’s spaghetti…………….

“Too many adjectives. I hate this writing style.”

You are correct. Note:

“five-person-strong team”

Reads like something from HR.
