There are two places in Latin America which I'm planning to visit but still haven't gotten around to fulfilling it. Quito in Ecuador & Valparaiso in Chile, mainly for their historical areas. But I've long started enjoying them through their cuisines. Ecuadorian & Chilean cuisine might not be familiar in Asia but I whip up my own versions, and that's often because there are no restos offering them here. I've long used avocado as a bread spread the Chilean way (palta) & instead of silogs, I often prepare bistec a lo pobre (a beef, fried egg, potato fries & onions ensemble, a dish Chile has in common with Peru), besides many of its humongous parriladas. But my favorites are the plaintain dishes of Ecuador. They come as dumplings, soup, empanadas, etc. I haven't tasted the originals but I so loved my versions (taken from the internet) that the few times I find time to cook, I cook them 50% of the time.
Now, Cautiva will be shown in Ecuador. I can see they will be slurping Caldo de bolas de verde or Sango de verde while watching it because it will be shown at 6:45 PM, just in time for dinner. Starting September 11.
Cautiva stars Derrick Monasterio & Bea Binene.
Parang masarap, may verde pa. Recipe pls

Naiwan na talaga ang Abscbn sa Africa hahaha
ReplyDeletePang-Africa Beauties na lang sila :-D
DeleteSa Africa na nga lang sila, mga luma pang teleserye ang nabibili. Nakakahiya na ang Isis-cbn
DeleteDi mo pa nga masabing nagma-mark pa rin sila doon eh. Malakas pa rin ang hila ng Latin telenovelas sa mga African. Tapos may mga Indian telenovelas din doon.
DeleteSa totoo lang, namamayagpag ang GMA at Abscbn teleseryes sa Africa. Kaya lang karamihan sa mga Abscbn seryes ay rerun ng mga last year shows, Dolce Amore, Pangako Sa Yo, Doble Kara, etc. , ang tanging bagong nabili (2017 serye) ay ang Magpahanggang Wakas. Yong mga GMA shows na nabili roon ay mga bago, marami na ang 2017 seryes na nabili
DeleteI'd like think more Kapamilya ako pero nakakatameme naman ang mga developments na ito. Sabi, pangprobinsiya lang ang Abscbn teleseryes, tapos ngayon, pag international pala, pang-Africa lang? Anyare, my gulay?
DeleteUngos na talaga milya-milya ang GMA. Sana magising na ang Abscbn, pa-twinkle eyes na lang alam ng bagong management
ReplyDeleteMag-uumpisa na rin ang Second Chances sa Peru
DeleteSo 3 ang GMA seryes showing sa Latin America- Cautiva, Someone to Watch Over Me at Second Chances. Abscbn zero.
ReplyDeletePremiere na rin ang Second Chances (Una Nueva Oportunidad) this Wednesday (Sept 6) sa Panamericana TV, Peru. Next in line na ang Hermanas (The Half Sisters)!
ReplyDeletePag nakita na nila si Barbie Forteza, tiyak magtatakbuhan at lalangawin na ang GMA teleseryes doon. Pustahan
Delete6:38, kapag ganyan lagi ang klase ng ibinebenta natin, di magtatagal baka mauwi rin tayo sa mga pangmadaling-araw na slot gaya ng 1 am or 2 am, parang ginawa sa mga kdrama para makapangunyapit pa ang mga ito roon at makarason na walang nanunuod sa kanila kasi dahil sa maaga masyadong sked. Never mind na wala ring nanunuod sa mga Koreano sa daytime kasi ayaw ng tao sa kanilang mga mukha
DeletePanget kasi ang mga Koreans. Nakapagtataka nga, sagana naman sila sa plastic surgery pero askad pa din nila
DeleteInborn kasi
