Buffet Dinner

I met with Lyn and Kuya for dinner early this evening. We haven't get together like this for the past months because we are busy with our personal lives. Good timing because we had a chance this Saturday. A simple buffet at a nearby downtown restaurant. The foods served were fried chicken,stir fried veggies,sauced clams,sweet&sour pork,fish taosi,fried rice,vegetable salad in sweet dippings, fresh fruits and stir fried noodles. Bottomless iced tea were served before our table. The entire dinner was great with lots of chikas and updates about each other's lives. A great buffet dinner that we enjoyed together.

Queen Torrent

Cooking is my favorite passion and it is always important to keep updated with latest techniques,flavorings and methods in the culinary world. Since most of my searches are online,  I always use the torrents search. Finding some valuable insights and relevant topics about my passion are so easy with the aid of this search. It is also useful for other ideas that you have in mind that you may want some more discussions or details. I even introduced this to my siblings. Anne and Dick have now some ideas that they can use with regards to their search. Maybe I can share this also to Mymy so that she can be acquainted and this is also useful in her blogging activities. Now I am enjoying my searches and it makes my job easy.

Stir fried Sunday

Stir Fried Chicken &Vegetables in Char Siu Sauce

My weekend cooking adventure using char siu sauce. For this menu I stir fried the chicken pieces (breast part) in olive oil until light brown then added vegetables like sayote, carrots, celery stalks and  char siu sauce. Stir well  for 3 minutes until heated through. Garnished with the remaining chopped celery leaves. The honey based flavor of the sauce is perfect for the variety of vegetables. Delectable taste.

Bread Crumbs

Another cooking ingredient that I bought from the grocery this week was this pack of bread crumbs that are made of small particles of dry bread which are used for breading or crumbing foods. It  is a good coating ingredient in making  crisp and crunchy  fried foods like seafoods or meats. My deep fried dishes would surely taste great using this cooking component.

Yummy Mamon

I gave into my sweet indulgence the other day. These mamon (sponge cakes) just filled out my cravings. I like the soft, creamy taste of these cheese and ube flavors. Some sweet favorites to eat during break from the crazy moods of life.

Lapu-Lapu Meal

This meal was perfect for the rainy days of this week. Lapu-lapu (grouper) fish in broth and vegetables (water spinach and radish). I like the taste of lapu-lapu in any kind of preparation whether fried, broth,fillet or steamed. This is freshly available in the wet market so when I have a chance I see to it that I buy one for cooking.

New Tumblers

I bought this new tumblers while strolling in the kitchen department of the mall. Simple but nice glasses with flat bottom without handle or stem. I like using them for drinking cool beverages like juices,wines,iced tea, etc. I have some additions to my glasses collection because some were already broken for long time of use.
