I was doing some grocery shopping at a store in Cebu City when I won some coupons, so as I was looking around to see what I could exchange them for, and I conveniently passed by the bakery.Thinking how nice it would be to get a dish of one of my favored desserts, I drew closer and saw this.
I giggled and took out my cellphone to take a pic how planning should be done
...ka-leche gyod no?
for my foreign friends - one of the more common desserts here is what we call a "leche flan" which is the Filipino version of a sort of milk custard...
ReplyDeleteFrom wiki -
Crème caramel, flan, or caramel custard is a custard dessert with a layer of soft caramel on top, as opposed to crème brûlée, which is custard with a hard caramel top.
The dish has spread across Europe and the world. Both crème caramel and flan (from Old German flado meaning 'cake') are French names, but have come to have different meanings in different regions. In Spanish-speaking countries and in North America, flan refers to crème caramel. This was originally a Spanish usage, but the dish is now best-known in the United States in a Latin American context and also in the Philippines, where it is known more as leche flan.
Elsewhere, including in France and Britain, flan usually means a custard tart, often with a fruit topping, quite different from the Spanish and North American flan. In Europe and many Commonwealth countries, the dish is generally known as crème caramel.

ReplyDeleteThe spelling is not unusual. It happens all over the Philippines, nay, the whole world now. Atrocious spelling all over the United States even. Read FACEBOOK to see what I mean. Read blogs in the net and you cower at the murder of the written English language.
ReplyDeleteThis one in a grocery in Cebu is almost hilarious even if it brings me to tears.
Lap ako ng lap dito.... I remember a Filipina friend who was practicing saying 'Vis Fillet' (fish fillet) over and over again. But when she was asked what she wanted in the counter, 'vis pilley' pa rin and dating! Talaga naman... when under fressure....
ReplyDeleteI think it has worsened due to texting (hey, am guilty of dis 2...este...this too!) and saka remember before may leaders pa tayo na natutuwa sa kailang carabao English :-(
ReplyDeleteflantsahin ang mga damit! (ay, gay na yata yan na fronansiyashon)
