I don't really like it, but it looks so good during holidays, well for us new years. i also like tik something those sticky things dipped in egg and fried, chinese too.

I don't like it, too. It's salty! I like Eden Cheese more. LOL. Yknow, superstitions, anything round, especially on new year's eve.

Would you be talking of tikoy? which now comes in many flavors including ube, strawberry and pandan? haven't tasted them... only the traditional white and brown ones.

On the Queso de Bola thing ... it's one of those foods you have to develop a taste for ... Given a choice between that and cheddar cheese, I'd choose cheddar. I think I have tasted one brand that was okay but can't remember what that was. I only buy them to give away as gifts or as an ingredient in rellenong manok (stuffed chicken).

OHHH ang sarap ang TIKOY. nag bebenta na sila dito sa mnga Filipino Oriental mart! Ang sarap we bought all thses boxes hheehehee.

Tikoy! Masarap yun, I swear! Usually, mga malalagkit na foods eh, masasarap.

lol. i never liked queso de bola. its yucky. it looks fancy and everything for the table. not for feeds.

oh and tikoy took over this thread. tikoy rox. i <3 it when its dipped in egg then fried. i also like having 'hamonado' during the holidays. pork and ham in pineapple sweet sauce thingi.

MALIGAYANG PASKO!

I also do not like the taste of queso de bola.

Our family do not even bother to buy queso during noche buena

Haha, it seems that no one here likes Queso de Bola.. May kokontra ba?

that's what it is. the funny thing about it, i think both tikoy and questo de bola are, though not originally, made and influenced by chinese. i like the look of queso de bola cuz it makes it look like youi're making it like a bountiful looking decoration or something. but yeah i dislike the taste.

and yeah thanks taht is what it is tikoy. my aunt use to work, not anymore but still in touch, with a inchik family. they always give her boxes of them.

tikoy... nasty... maybe i hate it because my mom fries tikoy every single day until her 20 or so boxes given by relatives is done... BLEH... it's all malagkit n $hit... only sticky food i like is sticky rice... dunno what that's called in filipino.. the one wrapped in banana leaves.. why don't we just send each other marinated steaks or something for chinese new year... why tikoy?

queso de bola? never heard... i've probably seen it but haven't tried it... sounds nasty... queso ... that's cheese right..? ick..

queso de bola is like really salty cheddar cheese, shaped as a ball. or bola, then the skin is artifical dark red.

sticky rice in banana? do you dip it in sugar? that's suman. there are different variaties of those. my granpa is like a master in making cassava sumans.

My Ex was Pinay. She brought over "Chocolate Rice" for me once...I quickly found out that it didn't taste like "chocolate", nor was it made from chocolate. A little misleading, but, good stuff, though...

^i've never heard of that, maybe its cuz she told you the english name for it. how does it look like.-

It's brown, sticky rice...and, It's NOT Chocolate.

You must be talking about Tsamporado /Champorado.

Brada, I have NO idea what it's called. All I know is that it was rice and it was brown, and she called it "Chocolate Rice" with this smirk on her face.

Sista, I'm a girl. I think it's champorado.. sticky rice...

Ooooh-wahhhh-eeeee...a thousand pardons, m'lady. <sheepish grin>

Thanks for giving my "Chocolate Rice" a proper name, though.

stick rice aint brown? it's like beige-ish

maybe it was rice w/ dinuguan n she poured glue into it?

No, cocoa is added. LOL.

^HAHA ok..

Nuh-uh...it was pig's blood that gave it its brown-reddish tint.

No, I mean, the Champorado. Yes, dinuguan is out of pig's blood.

Well...there it is!

if it was sour, it was dinuguan... or at least the dinuguan i eat is sour... ick, that's y i only tried it once and never tried it again

aw, that's one of favorites. that and mongo.

^never eaten dinuguan, hehe just religious matters. but monggo is really good.

Anak ng pating...

Hindi nakabili ang mga magulang ko ng queso de bola...

^maganda lang naman yan para sa pangpakita.

cheese in general doesn't taste good unless it's cooked with something, like pizza... =) compared to just cutting blocks of cheese and eating it... X(

I cut cheddar cheese into thin slices and munch on 'em, though.

As to why tikoy is given to friends ... symbolically you're hoping that you will remain fast friends (friends stick to each other).

Queso de Bola is I believe something Spanish, but I guess we blended it into Chinese beliefs that we ought to have something round in the hopes that the coming year will bring us lots of money.

queso is ewwwww

^what? you got problems with filipino cheese? just cuz it's filipino huh? you think we can't make it or what? hehe jk.

yeah I hate ur filipino cheese....it's not real cheese muaahahahah lol


man I hate cheese...cheese stinks and it smells like vomit....especially that blue cheese that looks like mildew eewwwwww

Do you eat pizza or spaghetti?

I would eat your soft taco anytime.

AHAHAHAHA that was jokes...
