Food & Drink

As the title for my recipe states, this is my go-to recipe when I want to whip up a tray of sweet dinner rolls.
It’s also the same recipe I use in my tutorial videos for making dinner rolls (see below).

Fish was the primary protein source for ancient Chamorros.
Chamorro men and women were expert fishermen. The sea surrounding the island was said to be teeming with fish, so much so that according to the account of Catholic Fray Juan Pobre in 1602:

Pork Balls and Firehouse Chili Beans. What else would you expect a bunch of hungry firefighters to eat? Well we cooked, we ate, we moaned. But it was good!!!

This has got to be my most favorite Chamorro dessert!  For non-Chamorro-speaking friends, månha means the sweet, tender meat of the young, green coconut.

Everyone loves dessert. A Guam island favorite is Pistachio cake. Here is a great tasting recipe from one of our friends. And it is so easy to make. Even I can make this...

In some ways, the mom ‘n pop store and Guam have a lot in common: on the outside, you might see a weather-beaten building with a strange name, but once you go in, you will find no shortage of surprises. Every village has one, most have many. On the counter next to the register you will find sweet, salty, and spicy never-fail favorites.
