KCC: Filipino-Spanish Dishes: Pork Estofada »
KCC‘s theme for the month of September 2010 is: Filipino-Spanish Dishes!! Filipino cuisine is heavily influenced by Spanish, not surprising since they stayed in our country for over 300 years. Most of these dishes are rich and satisfying and mouthwatering! I’ve made several in the past, most are everyday dishes and always, always eaten with rice..which is [...]
Puto (Rice Cakes) »
This post is for my paternal grandma who recently passed away. She used to make puto for me and my siblings and cousins when we were kids whenever we come for a visit. I realized now how it must have been tedious for her to make a batch of puto or anything really at the [...]
Lumpiang Ubod (Coconut Pith Spring Roll) »
This is part two of my post for KCC this month. Fresh Lumpiang Ubod brings back memories of my childhood, my aunts and Goldilocks, the bakeshop/diner that is. We used walk there in the summer afternoons for snack, it’s close to where my aunts used to live. This is what the grown-ups usually order while [...]
Caldereta »
This beef stew is really delicious and worth your time trying..I don’t cook or eat beef often but when I do, I like to cook beef caldereta, it has become my favorite beef dish especially since I learned how to make it myself. I used to get to eat this only when my mother-in- law [...]
Dwaeji Kalbi (Sweet and Spicy Korean Pork Barbecue) »
This delicious barbecue is very easy to do even more so if you use the marinade powder (that’s where I “discovered” this delicious Korean dish); but making it from scratch using a mini food processor or blender makes it almost as easy as opening a packet of marinade mix. The homemade marinade is deliciously scented and it’s sweet, [...]
Pancit Bihon »
When I was young, elders say that eating pancit will give us long life and one should not cut the noodles when cooking it especially for birthdays or the celebrant’s life will be shortened too, I know that sounds silly, and I know now that it isn’t true. But I believe that eating pancit could indeed help make one’s life [...]
Chicken Inasal »
Inasal means grilled or barbecued; this dish originated in Panay and Negros region in the Philippines. What makes it different from other grilled chicken is it’s delicious tang and distinct orange color from annatto oil. The marinade has both vinegar and calamansi juice.. so you can just imagine how sour that is ( it makes my mouth [...]
Chicken Adobo in Coconut Milk ( Adobong Manok sa Gata) »
Another delicious way to cook adobo: with coconut milk and some chillies! Chicken cooks faster than pork so this is perfect when you’re craving for adobo but wants to put food at the dinner table fast. Adobo seeasoning is soy sauce, vinegar, garlic (lots of it), peppercorns and bay leaf. You can “adobo” anything really [...]
Kulinarya Cooking Club: Polvoron »
This month’s Kulinarya Cooking Club theme is polvoron, a part of every Filipino’s childhood; even those who grew up abroad know polvoron. Once you take a bite of this, you’ll find it hard to stop..I sometimes find myself mindlessly opening wrapper after wrappers of these sweet and addictive powdery treats. I also remember choking on this as my siblings and I used to [...]
Leche Flan (Whole Eggs) »
Leche flan..smooth, creamy, velvety leche flan, my all time favorite dessert. It’s just eggs, milk and sugar and yet it’s one of the most delicious thing in the world, thank you for whoever came up with this dessert. :) Kulinarya Cooking Club is featuring this favorite Filipino dessert this month. I decided to make Gale [...]
