Dango
A Limited Dango Experience I watch a lot of Anime ranging from the supernatural, adventure, historical or the slice of life kind. In most of these animation series a certain Japanese food, aside from onigiri and curry pan, is always present. Yes, the very obvious answer is DANGO. In fact in the anime…
Palitaw
This is perhaps the easiest Filipino dessert or snack I could think of. In a manner of cooking it is reminiscent of the Italian ravioli. Ingredient and cookingwise it is much closer to the Japanese dango. Seaking of Japan, right this moment I am watching as Gaara is abducted by the Akatsuki. I…
Fishcake with Fried Okra and Squash
While I was looking for vegetables for dinner I realized that there isn’t enough for a satisfying pansit guisado. As I pondered upon my next move I remembered we still have unopened and probably never be eaten on its own canned tuna in the cupboard. Well, what about fishcakes? So fishcakes it is….
Banana's Heart
Last week I went to an ophthalmologist to have my right eye checked up. It’s bad. I knew it was since I’ve had this infection thing before. Well good thing it can be cure HOWEVER I have to wear prescription glasses again. I do prefer my contacts. I’m just glad my new glasses…
Lato salad
My very young friend, Vincent, loves this. For some reason I don’t. It’s not bad but I just do’nt like it. it doesn’t matter because I made this for him anyways. For a three year old to like this is amazing isn’t it? Lato salad 2 cups fresh gulaman 2 tomatoes 1/4 cup…
Grilled Pork with Pasta and Gravy
My uber love for pasta with gravy when I discovered Tapa King’s Chicken and Pasta. The chicken was grilled to perfection. The meat soft and juicy and the skin so full of flavor. The pasta was doused with the oil from the grilled chicken which made it taste even better. The only disappointment…
sunday clam soup
Last Sunday, market day, I managed to get my hands on some fresh water clams. I normally eat them simply steamed in salted water but this time since I’m cooking I made soup. At first I played with the idea of making a cioppino or a chowder perhaps. Enough thinking I said. Afterall…
chayote tops
Chayote, also known as christophene or alligator pear, is a vegetable widely consumed in the Philippines. Often times it is cooked stir fried along with other vegetables. It has a tender texture and has a mild sweetness to it. I like chayote very much. I like the way my sharp knife slides into…
panaderia favorite
Since I was a child I have always been enchanted by those freshly cooked unusual baked goodies. Unusual because in most local bread shops the items are almost always basic breads like pandesal, pan de leche, star bread or that swirled bread with margarine and sugar on top. Those unusual baked goodies I…
Carbonara with mushroom
I’ve never found a chance where I could eat a plate of perfectly cooked carbonara. The one that is capable of making my heart palpitate in inexplianable proportions. That is probably the reason why I try and try to make my won until I succeed. So far, I haven’t. This one however was…
