During my stay here in Cebu, I've asked my mom to give me "maize" (corn) instead of the usual rice. Sometimes she embeds "kamote" (sweet potato) in the rice or maize to make "sandoloy".

  1. Maize or Sandoloy is much more nutritious, iyan ang kinakain nating mga Cebuano, kaya si Flash Elorde matibay ang mga kamao at paa dahil sa maize, what we eat as a staple food instead of rice, ang grinded mais

  7. hmm...me too...siguro 1990s pa I ate that mix...I would say since my stomach is more used to rice, kaya if I eat something else..nag-stri-strike...

  15. Binlod cooked thickly is like the Italian Polenta. They just put butter and parmesan cheese on it. The Cebuano binlod is of such fine consistency , you can feed it to a baby. Ay, inun-unan! Love it, lalo na kung tulingan.

  16. Ako rin, matagal na akong hindi kumain ng Sandoloy. I think , elementary student pa yata ako from my dad's province in Quezon. I wonder if that can be done here. I guess I have to look for the right corn. Cat, pwede kaya yung popcorn kernels i-food processor tapos i-halo na lang sa white rice or brown rice? What say you? Is the mix 50/50?

  17. Rice or Corn both sound good to me.

  18. Kayumanggitos...ayan..witness kayo sa promise ni Val!

    don't worry, volunteer ako to cut the veggies (wag lang sa meat) tee-hee!

  20. for binlod we eat..sometimes we do put butter (or as is lang sya)...and then milk and sugar to taste (or acc to taste of the eater)...

    I fooled my dad saying we had found Farina! LOL
    We usualy have this or oatmeal for breakfast before.

    I can't find this product anymore or anywhere - there used to be jars and jars of Farina (cream of wheat) which my dad likes very much..I tease him its just baby food or for the toothless..hehehe!

  21. hi Joey,

    the sandoloy I've always had was the kamote + rice or kamote + maize mixture.

    I think its only one time I ate rice + maize mixture ages ago...and I don't know if popcorn kernels would be doable coz we always were able to buy maize from the stores or wet market.
    Isn't corn used for popcorn more for popping? you might like to try it and see how it goes :-)

    or if you could find whole corn which is dried..or you can dry it (I could see corn before being placed on the roads) then strip the corn kernels from the cob, then have it ground baka pwede? It may be a bit tough for the food processor though...hmmm....

  22. hi Ted...

    hmm...the corn I am specifying here is more like finely ground corn (we differentiate it by numbers..saying numero 10, numero 12 etc.)...I think in the US don't people have corn on the cob or maybe corn grits prepared the southern style?

  23. I realized that the corn kernels used for popcorn are for popping only. But maybe I'll try it. Siguro pwedeng gamitin yung VIta-Mix blender.

    The dried corn we see on the streets are what they call "magulang", also used for germinating or planting corn. I believe they also use it for making "binatog", a snack of boiled corn sprinkled with salt or sugar and grated coconut. When we were kids, we used to make that in the province pero mag papaltos ang thumb mo para alisin lahat ang corn kernels from the cob. I don't want to do that anymore..he he he

  26. You're so lucky!...you never gain weights at all...how do you do it!...you must have great metabolism huh...anong sandoloy?...we have corn n the cobs, popcorns & grits here...i like steam & inihaw na corn on the cob sa atin...

  27. hi Angie..

    nah...timing lang yan that I lose the weight when I go back to Manila...hehehe..eto ngayon, I've been eating maize for 2 weeks and I've gained a tummy almost like Garfield...hahaha!

    sandoloy is the term we use when you mix and cook kamote and rice or...kamote and maize..

    the kamote (sweet potato) we usually cut up into smaller more manageable pieces so that when you serve it its not to big to fit into your mouth when you take a bite..
