Buro

February 3rd, 2010 by Ryan, the delusional chef
Respond

I love buro! I sometimes eat it everyday, with fried fish, eggplants and steamed okra.

Buro is made of fermented rice with fish or shrimps, and originated from Pampanga. It is sauteed in oil with garlic, onions and tomatoes and served as a condiment to grilled and fried fish, fresh mustasa (mustard greens) and fried or steamed eggplant and okra.

tinolang manok

I think it was 2 years ago when I first saw Travis Kraft’s video tutorial on Youtube on how to cook Adobong Manok. While I may have laughed at his attempts at speaking a heavily American-accented Tagalog, it has inspired me to write post about Filipino dishes that I love. For my first recipe post here, I am posting the recipe for my version of Tinolang Manok.

Tinolang Manok is one dish which is best eaten hot, on a cold and rainy day., and served with a dipping sauce of calamansi juice, patis (fish sauce) and sili.

Nothing says Christmas like a delicious Christmas ham on the table at noche buena. While the ham-hamon as it is locally called- originated in the west, Filipinos have whole-heartedly embraced it; adjusting and cooking it to suit the Filipino palate–making it a part of Filipino Christmas tradition.

Everyday is Christmas at Jollibee

December 23rd, 2009 by Ryan, the delusional chef
Respond

table setting

As a kid, it is easy to think that Christmas is about presents, aguinaldo and noche buena. But as people get older, these perceptions are trimmed down to one important thing: having the entire family together for one day. People adjust their schedules, making sure that they have freed Christmas Day of any other commitments. And it doesn’t matter much if there are gifts or not, because the mere presence of loved ones is enough to make the holiday celebration complete. [Read more →]

Celebrate the Flavors of Christmas with Greenwich

December 15th, 2009 by Ryan, the delusional chef
Respond

For Filipinos, Christmas is the most-awaited season not only because we get to spend time with our friends and loved ones, but because we get to enjoy the special and unforgettable holiday flavors associated with this time of year. We always make sure that we prepare the perfect noche buena to usher in Christmas day, serving an abundance of Filipino holiday favorites like Christmas ham, roast beef, pasta, and fruit salad.

Likewise, no Christmas feast is complete without the tasty quezo de bola, the cheesy treat that has become a holiday staple for many Filipinos. Whether you’re gathering for a giant feast with the family or having a Yuletide get-together with friends, it’s always great to bond over all of these cheesy and delicious food that lets you taste the joys of the Season.

What’s in your shabu shabu?

November 23rd, 2009 by Nina, the evil one
Respond

Two great ingredients have joined Healthy Shabu Shabu’s menu: the Wagyu beef and the King Crab.

shabu
King Crab or Wagyu?

Wagyu beef, touted as the highest quality meat in the world, takes center stage while enhancing the flavor, texture and tenderness of Shabu Shabu. Healthy Shabu Shabu serves grade 8 Wagyu, which is nothing less of the beef standard. Wagyu beef, with its unique marbling characteristic, contributes to the dish’s unmatched juiciness and taste—sealing the sweet, subtle savor that lingers on every foodie’s palate.

Chiefly found in cold waters, the King Crab is reddish-brown crab variety much-sought all over the world because of the difficulty one has to undergo in catching the crustacean. During crab fishing season, squads are even stationed to rescue fishermen who attempt to battle the rough seas and humongous pincers just to bring home the King– thus, making it an extremely-prized seafood cuisine.

Kain Pinoy is giving you a chance to try out these two new additions just by answering one simple question: What do you want in your shabu shabu? Is it the Wagyu beef or the King Crab?

The best answers will win a one-thousand peso gift certificate from Healthy Shabu Shabu.

Contest Mechanics:

  1. The contest is open to Metro Manila residents only.
  2. To join the contest, simply answer the question by posting a comment in this post.
  3. Contest duration is between November 23 to November 29, 2009.
  4. Winners will be announced in this blog by November 30, and will also be notified through e-mail.

Breakfast at Jollibee

November 19th, 2009 by Ryan, the delusional chef
Respond

These past 3 months, I have spent my nights awake, keeping watch over my sick stepfather at the hospital. I get really hungry in the morning-towards the end of my “shift”,- so what I do is head on down to the Jollibee outlet downstairs to get my breakfast fix with an order, or two, of Jollibee Breakfast Joys.
