Buko Pie

Delectabel Buko Pie.

This one comes from Colette's Batangas branch. Actually, I find Colette's a bit cloying, too sweet for my taste buds.

Now I've heard the ones from Lety's Buko Pie and The Original Buko pie (Laguna) are yummier. Never tried both but next time we visit Laguna, we'll try buy those. :)

Have you tasted the last two buko pies na ba?

Lechon Manok Left Over

The other day husband bought Baliuag Lechon Manok. Since it's only the two of us, we had left over. So I chopped the chicken, placed in a ziplock bag and into the freezer. After 2 days, I was reminded of the chicken pieces but since I dont want to feed the husband with the same dish , I decided to make it into something yummier. I transformed it into......

Paksiw Na Lechon.

To do this you will need;

The left over lechon manok

1/4 cup vinegar (I used cane vinegar)

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup Mang Tomas Sauce

1 head garlic, chopped

1/4 cup mascuvado sugar

1/2 tsp whole peppercorn

2 bay leaf

salt and pepper

Then get a bowl and mix everything except the chicken and bay leaf.

Then place the left over chicken and the sauce mixture in a pan. Bring to boil. Stir well, lower heat and bring to boil for ten minutes.

Add more water if necessary, adjust the seasoning. Then add the bay leaf. Simmer for another 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Oh by the way, I noticed that the sauce thickens more while it cools. :)

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!

Food Friday: Snickerdooles

Snickerdooles, a soft sugar cookie lightly dusted with cinnamon. It's one of my favorite so later I'll be making few batches to bring at my in-laws place this coming weekend....that is if I dont change my mind, the husband requested me to make brownies instead. Hmmmm!!!

Oh Well!!!!

Happy Foodie Friday everyone and Enjoy the long weekend!

Kitchen Essential

My kitchen essentials, pasta, tomato sauce, milk and cheese. So whenever I'm running out of idea on what to cook, I can easily whip a pasta dish with whatever sauce I wanted. Like last night, we had spaghetti and home made pizza. :)

Yummm!!!!

What's your kitchen essential by the way?

Enjoy the rest of the week

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

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).
