Mabuhay Everyone!
What's Merienda? Merienda, in the philippines is a light meal taken between lunch and dinner. Usually around 2:00 P.M to 4:00 P.M. Filipino people are in the habit of taking merienda everyday. It's as if it's part of their daily routine. To ordinary people like us, we take ordinary meriendas, like ukoy, puto, kutsinta, tsikoy, suman, banana cue, empanada and a lot more, these are filipino native delicacies.
For me, I took pastil and pancit canton, one of the known merienda of filipino people especially in Zamboanga City and also to students who are in a budget. It's made from flour with pancit (filipino noodle cuisine) matched with a chili sauce made from vinegar, garlic,pepper and salt. Pancit Canton, on the other hand is instantly prepared by manufacturing company in the Philippines. Place the instant noodle in a boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender but firm enough to eat. Then mixed it with the prepared seasonings included in the pack, and mixed it together. Taa daa you already have Pancit Canton.

Here in Colombia meriendas are quite popular too but between breakfast and lunch, so to say. I totally agree with it, why not? lol.
ReplyDeleteWow! Really? It's different from here, we also have merienda/snack between breakfast and lunch but it's not common to us. We usually take heavy meal during breakfast. Your blog is nice. Hope you can my blog everytime. :)
