    hi…question lang.
    madali ba hanapin yun mga ingredients like TVP, Carageenan, phosphate,
    nutmeg? available ba yan locally sa Manila.

    Thanks a lot and more power.

    @tolome - check the Ultima Entrepinoy contacts above.

    @jack, the recipe above is primarily for commercial use hence the need for extenders. however, you can substitute other ingredients with your preference for your own consumption.

    we’ve tired this recipe but sad to say that the result was frustrating kasi matabang yung taste nya. we thought that this recipe was kitchen tested. it did not passed to our panelist nong pina sensory test namin.

    You can adjust the ingredients according to your preferred taste. I think there’s no such thing as a perfect recipe, it will always be subjective to any cook. We have different tastes and smell, so I guess it’s up to us to adjust and prepare it to our own preference. Btw, the recipe is from the Dept. of Agriculture website.
