Pancit Habhab

Pancit hab-hab is a noodle dish famous in the streets of Lucban, Quezon Province, where the vendor uses his thong to grab some habhab and put it in a square banana leaf then drizzle the noodles with vinegar mix. The noodles are eaten by pushing the banana leaf to your mouth. A very creative way to eat it right? :)

That photo was taken few years ago at Buddy's Pancit Lucban Branch at Market Market. I was sorting my photos when I saw this one and right now, I am craving for it. Guess I'll ask the husband to visit Market Market over the weekend. :)

Enjoy the new week everyone. See yah!

Happy Foodie Friday everyone and Enjoy the long weekend!

Left Over Chicken Afritada

We got some left over chicken afritada from our last night dinner. So the next morning, I served the same chicken but this time it was use as a filling for the omellete. :)

Our Morning Breakfast Omelette and Sausage. :)

The Chicken Filling

I washed the chicken to remove the afritada taste then shred it. Saute onion and throw in the green bell pepper. Add the shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Whisk 3 large eggs, you can add water to make it more fluffier. Add chives then season with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add the oil and then the butter, swirling it around so that the base and sides get coated. While the butter is still foaming, pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan from side to side. Stir gently with a fork or wooden spatula, drawing the mixture from the sides to the centre as it sets. When the eggs have almost set, scatter over cooked chicken. Tilt the pan away from you slightly and use a palette knife to fold over the omelette.

Serve with rice or bread. :)

Food Friday: Ramen and my Cafe World

Whenever I crave for Kimchi noodles, I would grab an instant pack. It's a staple in our house. The spiciness and the firm noodles are just perfect for me. The husband and I love this ramen compared the ones we locally have here because ours are too salty.
Now, if you'll look closely the background is my Kainan Republic. My online cafe at Cafe World. It's my latest addiction after Farm Town. Im level 20 already and I'm excited to level up to get more stoves, more counter and more dishes to make. hahaha!
Have you tried the two?
Happy Foodie Friday everyone!

Ginisang pechay is one of my favorite comfort food. A very easy vegtable dish to make and is very nutrious too.

Simply saute onions then garlic in hot oil. Add ground meat (pork or beef). Simmer until the meat are cook. Skim off scum that may aggregates on top.

Add the chopped pechay stalks. Then mix in the chopped leaves. Drizzle fish sauce and pepper to taste.

Best eaten with fried fish and rice but sometimes, I eat it alone (favorite eh).
