The Great Golden Pineapple Tart

Growing up in one of the 7,100 islands of the Philippines, I am very fond of fresh "pinya" or pineapples. Salt it, cake it, salad it, juice it, any which way suits really fine! My kids, urban citizens that they are, are by no means strangers to this crowned fruit, but they are more familiar with its canned form.🥫🥫🥫

Absolutely one of our favorite things every CNY here in this little red dot is the Pineapple Tart; this is one of the interesting ways we met this fruit, together. Shops stock up on this treat as the holiday approaches, culminates on the week itself, and lingers a little more.

Buttery, tangy, sweet. It's hard to keep these in the jar for long. Arrrrgh. MUST. PORTION.

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗 Ingredients 3 potatoes, boiled & roughly mashed 1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn, 1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗 Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook
