Sweet, tangy delicious lemon chicken that finally, FINALLY my family likes. I haven’t cooked lemon chicken for a long time because well, my family doesn’t like the lemon sauce -it’s too sour they say.

This is my first time to make this dish and quite surprise that it’s easy to make considering how delicious it is- hot and spicy-delicious!!

I love easy recipes, whenever I see one, I save it and try it as soon as I possibly can and if it’s really good, I make it again and again and when I’m really happy about it, I can’t help but share it too :). Like this dish, I saw this on Ju’s blog, [...]
It’s noodles for May’s Kulinarya Cooking Club theme. Caroline and I are the hosts for this month and we’ve decided on pancit. When you say pancit (noodles) in Filipino, it usually refers to pancit bihon the most common and popular but there are several pancit or noodle dishes in Filipino cuisine: pancit canton, sotanghon (mung [...]
