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

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

Have you ever heard of 'singing bowls'? No? Well, you might have (must have forgotten only) since these singing bowls are widely becoming popular amongst those who have experienced the bowls soothing sounds. (Health) practitioners use them, healers, spas, or even for (private) personal use and even amongst travelers who have seen them in places like Tibet - these singing bowls they can't do without from the first time they used them. Crystal Singing Bowls, is just one of the many bowls which yo

I had to think of my maternal grandmother whenever I see mussels. I guess because when I was young, I found mussels or tahong as how we call it in Tagalog, a bit 'scary' because of its almost black shells. Scary and yet I always found my grandma's simple mussels soup (Tinolang Tahong, key soup ingredient is ginger) really good. Well, everything that my grandma made was good :)
Anyhow, ginger is overpowering in taste, according to my husband...so I am careful when using the root, and would nev

Nobody wants to be sick. But unfortunately, fallen sick do happen to the most of us. And when that happens we turn to the professionals who we expect to make us feel better. Sometimes that happens in short time, sometimes not. Good thing though that science is quite advance these days (can you imagine how our forefathers suffered in pain? imagine no painkiller to take their pain away?) so whether serious or not so serious condition, we receive treatment from the professionals. At times we even

Some serious updates!
I've been away for quite sometime now, I know. It's just that there hasn't been much action in my kitchen the past weeks, read: NO NEW RECIPES because my husband's been asking for the same meal over and over again. And I do not want to repost recipes I have already posted.
But I promise to do updates as soon as I get the chance. Hope all's been well with you all...all my 2 visitors :D

I was at the local market many weeks ago to buy my supply. When I reached the seafood section, I saw a small commotion where 3 children and their father was involved. The youngest of the 3, perhaps she was about 5 years old was crying while the slightly older brothers were teasing her for crying. She was pretty scared. Daddy's trying to calm her down.
Well no wonder she was crying. Because in front of her were live crabs which she probably thought were aliens from another planet! Even adult p

The combination of coconut milk and freshly ground peanuts in the sauce was so good I could have just eaten it with rice to fill me up. But what would I do with a bunch of beef balls, play pingpong with them? :P
