  • Not your regular Christmas pasta: 5 yummy recipes for Noche Buena

    Filipino families have different ways of enjoying Noche Buena during Christmas. Some usually have their go-to dishes, including recipes that were passed down from moms and lolas.

    One staple in Noche Buena spreads are pasta dishes, like macaroni salad and sweet Filipino spaghetti. While you have favorite recipes na nakasanayan, you can try something new to make your pasta dishes extra special for Christmas this year. To do this, make sure that you have quality ingredients, like El Real Pasta, to whip up a delicious dish that your loved ones will enjoy.

    The possibilities with pasta or “pastabilities” are endless, so here are some recipes you can do for your Christmas spread:

    Creamy Bistek Tagalog Pasta

    Incorporate the flavors of the Filipino-favorite ulam Bistek Tagalog to your pasta dish, but with a creamy twist. The beef will be marinated in soy sauce, calamansi, and garlic for 30 minutes before pan-frying and simmering it in marinade. Complete the savory sauce with all-purpose cream and let it simmer for a couple minutes or until thick. Mix in the al dente El Real Flat Spaghetti, and top it with onion rings, chopped spring onions, and parmesan cheese.

    See the full Creamy Bistek Tagalog Pasta recipe here.

    Creamy Bistek Tagalog Pasta El Real

    Sushi Bake

    This popular merienda can also become a hit during Noche Buena. Recreate a sushi bake by switching up the rice with El Real Elbow Macaroni. Just mix the macaroni with homemade aburi sauce and top it off with shredded crab sticks, diced mangoes, and ebiko flakes. Bake it in an oven for 10 minutes, and voila, you have a pasta-fied sushi bake in time for Noche Buena.

    See the full Sushi Bake recipe here.

    Lechon Paksiw Pasta

    Did you know that you can add lechon to your pasta dish? The Lechon Paksiw Pasta uses El Real Flat Spaghetti with shredded lechon meat, lechon sauce, all-purpose cream, and various vegetables for the sauce. This savory pasta dish may not be your usual recipe, but the tasty lechon paksiw flavor of the pasta will surely impress guests. It’s also a great way to use up leftover lechon from previous gatherings and incorporate the ingredient to your Noche Buena meal.

    See the full Lechon Paksiw Pasta recipe here.

    Pasta Valenciana

    Make your El Real Spaghetti fancy by turning it into Pasta Valenciana. This Spanish paella-inspired dish is made with tomato paste, onion, and garlic for the sauce, and chicken and carrots for the toppings. It requires you to place the pasta in the sauce while it’s simmering in a saucepan until the bottom is toasted. Assemble the Pasta Valenciana and serve for a hearty Noche Buena meal.

    See the full Pasta Valenciana recipe here.

    Nutty Rainbow Salad Delight

    For dessert, you can make an elevated version of the classic macaroni salad using walnuts and cashews. After prepping and cooking the El Real Elbow Macaroni and fruit cocktail, mix them in a bowl with Kremdensada until they’re well-incorporated. Top it off with cheese, walnuts, and cashews for an added saltiness and crunchiness. This will be the perfect ending for your Noche Buena.

  • Make every day rewarding with Cream-O Premium

    You deserve a reward to boost your mood and get more motivated as you accomplish your goals. One delightful and satisfying treat you can get for yourself is Cream-O Premium. It’s the well-loved Cream-O Vanilla cookie sandwich that is made extra premium and indulgent with a rich chocolate coating. It comes in a single pack that you can enjoy for yourself, or a box of 12 that’s perfect for sharing (and even for gifting this Christmas season). It’s a great everyday reward to munch on after every completed task, such as:

    Submitting a report you worked hard on

    If you’re one of those students who spent days or weeks working on a research paper, you definitely deserve to celebrate your hard work. After doing your group assignment, you and your schoolmates can relax and share a few packs of Cream-O Premium.

    Hanging Christmas Home Decorations 

    The holiday season is fast approaching. It’s time to bring out the Christmas decorations from the storage, and start setting up the Christmas tree. Dedicate an entire weekend and prep your home for the holidays and don’t forget to reward yourself after.

    Completing your Christmas shopping list

    Holiday sales are popping up. Writing down a list can help move along things faster, and will keep the shopping spree organized. Pick a weekend and get a head start with your Christmas gift list. Once you’ve completed your shopping list, make sure to indulge in a pack or two of Cream-O Premium.

    Opening a business with your loved one

    Homegrown businesses can help you and your loved ones with everyday expenses. Whatever business you choose to pursue, it’s important to reward yourselves after reaching a sales target or simply getting through a busy day.

    Finding time for rest

    Yes, finding me-time can be considered an accomplishment, especially after a hectic work week. Just sit back and relax, watch a movie, and pamper yourself while snacking on Cream-O Premium.

    No matter how big or small, a win deserves to be rewarded and shared with those important to us. With Cream-O Premium, you can experience the Happiness of a Cream-Oholic with its irresistible and indulgent chocolate flavor.

    And with Christmas just around the corner, you can even add Cream-O Premium in your gift baskets and self-care packages for your friends. 

    Get this everyday reward as a treat for yourself or as a gift to loved ones on Lazada, and at your nearest supermarket and convenience stores. Cream-O is available in single packs and a box of 12.
