Yaniqueques are Dominican Republic apple's eye. They sell them on the streets, and the best are found, when you visit Boca Chica, our famous beach at the capital. They make it with beach water.

I was born in the Caribbean, specifically in the Dominican Republic. Actually live in the USA.Health issues triggered in me the passion for searching healthier options of making the same food.One of my best experiences in life is learning new things. I am curious and open-minded towards new things.My LAB de Humo y Grasa de Alheniel (Fume and Grease LAB) is a curious and happy place where I search and create while enjoying my passion.
