What is Kesong Puti??
@Cindy - its a white cottage cheese made from carabao’s milk…

@Jude - thanks a lot for visiting this blog
Wow! This dish sounds fabulous. Unfortunately, I don’t know a source for carabao cottage cheese…can I use regular instead?
I lived in the Philippines in Angeles City 1987-88. Miss the food…wouldn’t mind going back someday to visit! My stepmom is Filipina but lives in another state and doesn’t really cook anymore! Too bad for me!
@Mitzi - yup you can use regular cottage cheeze, i have tried that before… let me know when you are in town so we can share recipes hehe
