Yes. eggplant I think is the most “versatile” veggie. You can do eggplant lasagne, eggplant relish and eggplant tempura. You can buy buffalo mozarella from Phil Carabao Center at Los Banos Laguna.

you can try the fresh buffalo mozzarela in Galileo Enoteca in mandaluyong but they are imported from Italy and most of the time they are not available. There are also local kesong puti being sold at the Salcedo market every Saturday.

there’s mozzarella that’s made here na. i even saw their truck delivering cheese in greenbelt 3–probably for pepato, etc. mr. moo in silang supplies this but you have to order in bulk. like 30kilos or so of mozzarella. there are also other retailers of locally made mozza, rizal dairy i think is one of them.

You all know, mozzarella is expensive and we should use alternatives such as kesong puti. Most Filipinos are not interested in local product but we have to enhance our own product by using it. Look what the French did, they nurture and patronize their own products and now French cuisine is one of the highly respected cuisines. If other countries have yogurt and cheeses, we can start our own yogurt by creating good product out of taho. We need to improve our kesong puti and taho. French have crepes, Scandinavians have waffles and we can have our own bibingka.

wow.. this platter really made my mouth water.. i love eggplants even if it’s just plain boiled, i don’t know why i have this longtime love for the veggie.. my mom used to tell me you don’t get any vitamins from it but what the heck, i pair it with kesong puti for calcium, tomatoes for vitamin c and other stuff which fill in what the eggplant lacks.. heheh.. yummy naman nakakagutom!!!

This looks excellent! I love caprese salad, but now I think I’ll try it with pesto instead of basil…interesting twist. And of course the grilled eggplants…yum!
