PuTuSiLog is my acronym for this typical Filipino breakfast. Pusit is for fried crunchy dried squid, Tuyo is for fried dried sardine, Sinangag is for fried rice with load of garlic and ItLog for fried egg. Thus you have PuTuSiLog.
This breakfast reminds me of my childhood. My grandma or sometim

I am yet to meet a person who doesn't like breaded pork. Oh yeah, vegetarians! Well all the people I know including myself of course are all carnivores so...
I guess Tonkatsu or breaded pork fillet is popular among Japanese joints. But it wasn't just the Japanese who prepare it like this, her

It was my first time to bake small birds but certainly will not be the last! I love this Poussin recipe which I got from 'Good Food' UK based magazine, Christmas special edition. On page 73 and online too, this is to find. Pretty easy and oh so tasty! I love the softness of the young meat and the bi

Due to the long winter we experienced, oh wait, still experiencing! in the Netherlands, soup was 'needed' in this household of mine..especially by this writer, an Asian who is used to the warmth of the sun that tummy always longs for something well, warm. :P This is one soup that became a favo

I was able to find Asian aubergines (that's how we call eggplants in Netherlands) from our local supermarket, 3 pieces. I like local aubergines only they're too big and (a bit) less tasty for this recipe. Asian aubergines are finer, smaller in size and packed with taste! Perfect size for this Rellen

Unlike my husband, I like spaghetti carbonara. The best carbonara that I've ever tasted was Sofitel Hotel's (now called Centara Hotel) in Hua-Hin, Thailand. I worked there for more than 2 years in the past that's why I can say I was an expert of their carbonara :)
Anyway, I only attempted to co

My grandmother (who was a really really good cook!) would fry this using bananaleaves to make sure they come out well rounded, not broken. Though banana leaves are available in some Asian

Anyway, I only attempted to cook it exactly 2 weeks ago. After my curiosity was awaken by the Italians during our Roman holiday back in December. I must admit that tasting authentic Italian foods prepared by true-blooded Italians

This isn't an old photo but freshly shot just a few hours ago.
They were meant as 'extras' for my Christmas dinner dessert last December. But unfotunately I was not able to use them because when it was time to serve my dessert (Bailey's Tiramisu) I was already tired to do plate presentation. First and second courses took much of my time and so we just went straight devouring our dessert.
This is for La.Pi.S. This weekend's theme is Chocolate.
I hope this is okay, Ces?

Christmas Eve dinner was easy last year. Easy or I should say easier because I only prepared a 3-meal course rather than the usual 5. This is what we had for the 2nd course (main).
I was lucky enough to have found a 4-piece pack of beautiful Argentine beef for this Gordon Ramsey recipe. Got it from his 'Secrets' book p. 73. By the way, this book has got star awards from users (see Amazon.com)
Both my husband and I aren't really fond of steaks. But I'll surely prepare this recipe again

A simple side dish I prepared on Christmas eve dinner. It's just a dinner for two that's why I opted for a 3-course meal. Along with this potato we had steak (will soon be posted) that went well with this simple preparation.
I boiled young potato with skin intact until half cooked, set them aside until I can hold them to slice them in half. Oven was prewarmed to 180C. In a tray halved potatos were place, bathed them with olive oil, tiny butter cubes placed strategically as well, figs of t

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! MAY 2010 BRING US HAPPINESS AND GOOD HEALTH, CHEERS!
It's January 1st and I thought I should start the year right by updating my foodblog. It's not a joke maintaining 6 blogs (each serving a purpose) but I must not complain because all 6 are my babies.
Alright, let me share with you a side dish I made for our Christmas eve 2009 dinner (for 2). I made a 3-course dinner but decided not to post all at once. I found the recipe for this online 2 days before I was to

I know that I haven't been updating but I have good reasons.
Not much cooking is happening in my kitchen lately. That's the main reason. Secondly, I'm back in school and quite serious about it. I hope to be finished though within a year and come back to regular blogging. No, this blog isn't going on hiatus. I will try to blog whenever time permits.
For now, I send you greetings from Holland.
