Recipe: Earthquake Cheese Loaf
MANILA, Philippines — Celebrity chef Jackie Ang Po has this habit of asking her followers and students what recipe they want to learn from her.
If she has such a recipe or can develop one, she would gladly oblige by shooting a new video and upload the recipe on her Facebook page for everyone to watch and learn from.
One of the most recent requests she received was for her take on the Earthquake Loaf sold by a posh bakery chain. So, she did kitchen experiments on it and happily came up with this winner of an Earthquake Cheese Loaf.
