Paksiw
When it comes to fish, the family typically cooks it in three ways - fried, sinigang, or paksiw. If you ask me, my favorite is the paksiw, because I love sour-y foods, and I can eat using my hands. When I cook paksiw, I don't really put in water, I j...
Dinuguan
Whenever my sister and I were in our house in La Union, we always look forward to eating dinuguan (pork blood stew) because it just tasted better that the ones we cook in our own house. I guess the difference was with the blood, because when consumer...
Homestyle Fast Food
There were days when the family just feel so lazy to cook food. Especially on weekends, it's sometimes a struggle for us to think what to cook. Seeing some pork belly slices in the fridge, I thought of just marinating it in milk, garlic, calamansi ju...
Yadobi
I always intend to go back to the Food Friday post, but what to share was always a problem for me since I post foods that I cooked for this meme. I don't cook that much anymore, so my Food Friday wasn't as update as it once was.For this week, I am sh...
Ginataang Sitaw at Kalabasa
...with a humongous crab!Our lunch one time last week. Mom bought two super huge crabs and knowing her kids don't really eat crabs, she just asked me to cook ginataang sitaw at kalabasa so we could eat, too. Hehehehe. I quartered one of the crabs and...
Supahgetti!
And yes... another spaghetti post. =)Yesterday, I was alone in the house so I didn't know how to serve the construction workers. I don't want to go to the nearest bakery because it would mean I'd have to shell out some moolah, which I don't like. So,...
Nilagang Buto-Buto
Once, mom came home with some bony parts of pork. It was supposed to be for our dinner that day, but brother was already preparing another dish, so he just pressure cooked the meat so we could store it in the fridge, making us dispose the accumulated...
Fried Rice
Here in the house, breakfast is the most seldom meal we eat. Maybe because some were busy preparing for the day, or some would still be in bed, or we just don't really have the knack for eating breakfast. I myself oftentimes eat at 9am and I would al...
Carbonara
Making a comeback after a long hiatus from Food Friday...Here in Food Friday, I want to feature foods that I personally cooked. During my hiatus, I sort of stopped taking pictures of the foods I cooked, and now that I am coming back, I realized I hav...
Chicken Adobo
I could say I can cook good food, but if there's one dish I am struggling, it has to be this classic Filipino dish - the Adobo. People say it's the easiest foods one can cook because you can just put all the ingredients together and leave it in the s...
Instant Lomi
Because of some another change here in my food blog, I decided to devote one post for Food Friday, and it will feature foods that I cooked!The title of this post was a spoiler, for this bowl of lomi wasn't cooked from scratch. This was actually insta...
Sister's Treat
For my birthday last Wednesday, there wasn't a celebration really, but my sister was so nice to treat me out for lunch. It was our goal always to eat at a place where we haven't eaten yet, and our choice for this time was French Baker. We have tasted...
Patola and Kalabasa with Misua
I noticed that I have been eating lots of meat / fried foods lately, so when sister and I went to the market, I bought some vegetables. The patola is quite expensive at the moment, but I didn't really care, I missed eating this dish!We weren't able t...
From My Kitchen: Calamares
If there's one food that I really crave, it will have to be this. I don't know what's in this food that I just love it so much! What's funny was that whenever I'd eat this, I suddenly become this uber annoying, or someone who just had a shot of Jolt ...
From My Kitchen: Fish Tinowa
One of the influences my brother's girlfriend has something to do about cooking. We are Ilocano, while my brother's girlfriend is from Mindanao, so dishes and ways to prepare foods were at times different from one another. She taught this dish to my ...
Longganiza Meal
This was what I had for breakfast in Cebu on my second day there. I was with my brother and our co-SFC Members and before we went to the Gawad Kalinga Village in Talamban, we all went to the nearest Jollibee branch to have breakfast.I have three favo...
Late Lunch, Early Dinner
Now that I have finished sharing all the foods I have eaten during my 10 day holiday with my friend K, I am moving on to another set of vacation foods, this time from my Cebu - Negros Oriental trip with my brother.We reached Cebu City at around 3PM, ...
Crab Guisado
I had a lot of street foods to eat nearly lunch, so K and I didn't really get to eat a "decent" lunch. Instead, we decided to take a short nap and at around 2PM, we went to the Negros Oriental Capitol (Freedom Park) to watch the parade about environm...
Still From Imay's
Because K decided to pay up the foods after checking out of the inn in Dumaguete, we decided to eat all our meals at Imay's. For dinner, I decided to eat Kare-Kare. Not my favorite food, but I wanted to taste it. Whenever I eat kare-kare, I don't rea...
Lunch at Imay's
It was about past 9AM when K and I arrived in Dumaguete City. The ex boyfriend suggested we stay at Check Inn, so that's where we stayed. After catching a nap (the night before was the worst night of all), K and I went down to eat at Imay's, a restau...
Monster Burger
On our last full day in Panglao, Bohol... K and I decided to check out of Dumaluan Beach Resort and booked at the Paragayo Resort near Alona Beach. It was a very gloomy day - with a typhoon in the area that made the day wet, it pretty much ruined all...
Back at Dumaluan
To continue with the vacation foods...K and I got back to Dumaluan Beach Resort around 7PM. The last food we've had was the lunch along Loboc River, and even though K has bought some biscuits and chips which we munched while on the road, we still fel...
Lunch Along Loboc River
07 November 08 - K and I hired a van so we can check out different landmarks and tourist spots in Bohol. Come lunch time, Kuya Ricky (the driver) took us to Rio Verde Restaurant, a floating restaurant that also gives a tour along the Loboc River with...
Dinner in Bohol
{To continue with the vacation foods...}06 November 2008 - K and I took the 9:30PM bus ride from Vigan the night before and we arrived in Manila 6:30AM. Because our luggage were heavy and big, we decided to hail a taxi from the bus terminal going str...
Going Japanese
(Continuation of the vacation foods...)05 Nov 08 - K really loved the sizzling fish we had for dinner the day before, so we decided to eat our late lunch / early dinner at Cafe Leona (Vigan City) again. The tables weren't set up outside yet, so we ju...
Vigan Breakfast
The Cordillera Inn offered free breakfast and what could be perfect than eating Vigan longganisa? As soon as I saw it in their menu, I ordered it right away. It was a great breakfast - especially with the vinegar dip. My friend K could only stare at...
Bacalao with Hollandaise Sauce
Just to rewind a bit... I shared a picture of my breakfast at the airport going to Bohol, I overlooked that I still haven't shared all the foods from Vigan! Sheez.. sorry!Anyway, let me go back to the Vigan foods we've eaten. This is the Sizzling Bac...
Breakfast at the Airport
To continue my posts about the foods I ate during my holiday last November...... this was what I had for breakfast the time we went to Bohol. It was day five of our holiday, and from Vigan, K and I head straight to the airport where we await our flig...
