New York: Food Trip
While in New York two Sunday’s ago, took advantage and went to eat mass and greasy produced foodsss in Jollibee, hehehe - I ordered yumburger for dine in and took spaghetti and palabok with chicken joy to go. *Kakainin sa byahe?* I wasn’t too happy not so langhap sarap noh. Pucha the veggies in my so called yumberger is so soggy pootah parang nalabsak sa byahe from Pinas hahaha… Kairita! Tapos-tapos-tapos wala pang maupuan as in ang liit ng espasyo ha! Talaga namang inalat na food ko sa tray bago pa ako makakuha ng upuan.
The spaghetti was fine para akong umatend ng childrens party sa kapitbahay bwahaha *Tamis anghang! With all that hotdog pieces…* The serving was big compared sa serving sa Pinas! Oha na adapt na ang American standard!
I noticed something, one of the crew na si Manong eh kinukuha ang tray sa customers kapag itatapon na ang basura sa trash - and he throws it himself, parang sa Pinas talaga hehehe nasa restaurant talaga - (papa, meme, uu bwahaha) uupo ka kakain ka at sabay larga, wa na pakels sa mga pinagbalahuraan mo.
After yumburger comes dessert! Ekkkkkkk if you do desserts in Jollibee you have an eating disorder!!! Ugh - Who eats dessert in Jollibee?
Pinas: Street Food (Part 2)
Can somebody tell me, how come I don’t see much of Mamang Sorbeto in the streets as much as much as before na pahara-hara??? I went all to Luneta, just to have durty ice cream ugh! Dirty ice cream is made with local fruits / ingredients. It’s common flavors are Cheese, Langka, Chocolate *that is Filipino chocolate ha!*, Ube, Mango and Avocado. [I am quite serprice that Mamang sorbetero has cookies and cream flavah nah!] *Ibig bang sabihin nyan, eh talagang ganyan na kaunlad ang Pilipinas?* Hahahaha…
Luneta Park, Manila - June 7, 2009
I was craving for this durty ice cream for the longest time ugh! You guys just don’t have any idea! I was supposed to have my ice cream in a bun, but then am still feeling full from my Tinola lunch.
Carriedo, Quiapo - June 7, 2009
Samalamig is a beverage that is sweet and is serve cold. *Awwww, sarapppp.* As the name suggests, it is used to refresh and nourish everyone’s thirst, especially during Summer season. I saw this beverage sold in every corner in Manila. Other stands have Sago Gulaman, Sago Gulaman in Pink [Bakla? LOL!] Buko and Melon. (But yours trulily did not take her chance! Kahit na I feel so tarstey…) Takot ako eh, the next morning pa naman ang flight ko pabalik! Eh baka hmmm alam nyo na! HAHAH!!!
Intramuros, Manila - June 7, 2009
Nilupak is a mashed (Kamoteng Kahoy or Cassava and sometime Bananas are being used too!) I prefer Kamoteng Kahoy over Banana.
I am fixated with the purple and white Nilupak I dunno lol… Best eaten when it’s still warm and serve with Star margarine *YUMI!*
A match made in heaven
This wine perfectly compliments the chocolate, hehehe kala mo afionado kung magsalita no? Bwahaha
Thanks SPEAK for the sweet wine and chocolates and also for taking the time to take this image with me mwah. Ang sweet mo pala! Kung babae ka lang? Hmmm pinatulan na kita Hehehe… ROTFL, but then again, may jowa ka kaya better luck next time! *Chos* (Sana nagdala ka din ng bulaklak yong naka corona - diba? Para perfect match made in heaven talaga! Hehehe…)
Mango Salad
Since the weather is soooo nice and I kind of feel it’s summer already, I decided to make mango salad.
This salad is inspired of the Thai mango salad. Cause both salads have shredded mango and thinly sliced shallots. (I was really craving for that Thai mango salad that I had when I was in Bangkok years ago.) And whenever I am in a Thai restaurant I still ask for the mango salad - too bad, nobody makes it around here.
My version wasn’t that good compared to the one that I had back then. I know that they even put crablets in it, and where the hell am I going to find that? Instead I replaced it with Bagoong [anchovies].
Mimosa with a flare…
Mimosa is just simple, easy and delicious! But as always, I like having something with a twist. Instead of the usual chilled orange juice, I replaced it with orange peach mango and I love it. [Shempre love your own ha!] No really. I love it, since I have a sweet very very very sweet tooth.
Normally 3 parts of champagne and 2 parts of chilled orange juice are mixed
Mimosa is often served in a tall champagne flute, normally 3 parts of champagne and 2 parts of chilled orange juice are mixed, but not with us… We can chug it in any kind of glass we like with 5 parts of champagne and 1 part juice (since I am a proud member of alcoholics not so anonymous.) hehehe pwede din sa pint.
Tang inumin mo wag Dole!
Cravings: Forture Cookie!
A fortune cookie is a crisp cookie made from flour, sugar, vanilla, and oil with a “fortune” is wrapped inside. it. A “fortune” is a piece of paper with words of faux wisdom or vague prophecy. (I remember, sometime ago - while having dinner with my friends in Chinatown, my fortune says — Your gonna have a new t-shirt! Now what kind of a fortune is that?) Pootah, is that a fortune or huwat? Magagastosan pa pala ako bukod sa kinaing mga Chinese food dahil bibili ako ng t-shirt for myself! Arggggg! LOLS…
The only time I can get my hands on a fortune cookie is when I eat at some taktaktak MSG Chinese restaurant foods smothered with melamine - just like the infamous tainted milk from China POWE! Hehehe… I don’t like eating my fortune cookie by itself and or accompanied with some courtesy slices of oranges from the restaurant. For me it is best eaten with a Choclit ice cream! *YUM*
Antipasti: Insalata Caprese
Antipasti is an Italian word meaning literally “before the pasta.” antipasti is served simply as a dish of assorted meats, cheeses, olives, and vegetables, but the term may also be affixed to another type of food to indicate that the antipasti accompanies it. The most common example of this use of the term is antipasti salad, which is usually a green salad covered in various cheeses, olives, cold cuts, and other assorted meats.
Last night after doing our annually food shopping (lol) Missed/Bb. ChuvaChienes prepared this Insalata Caprese, thanks ChuvaChienes! (Iba talaga ang nagagawa ng social climbing 101.) If y’all don’t know, ChuvaChienes Y Byahera just got back from Milan last week at ito ang kanyang natutuhan sa kanyang mga friends na royalties doon…
Classic Breakfast - tuyo, jeprox (dried fish) and fried eggs
Tuyo and the likes (Daing, Dilis and Dang-git) was once known as poor man’s food (poor man’s fish - aba para palang sbahu poor mans cocaine lol), For it is very cheap and is available even at your favorite suking tindahan sari-sari store. But not anymore (Obviously I am eating it noh! I am from Forbes ha! Forbes Street!) LOLS *Ana Dionisio, istatue?*
Now you can find it from different high end restaurants in the Philippines, for they use it in their dishes (Salad and Pasta). Who would have thought of it? It’s also been the typical breakfast fares in fast-food chains. Not just that.. It’s now for export too
Tuyo may have that distinctive smel… But once eaten ahhh heaven! [Choosing between muffins, bagel, donut, apple pie, pate atbp...., and tuyo? I'll definitely go for tuyo! *With matching cheer leading sa background bwahaha*]
Tuyo is a dried fish (Tuyo actually meaning dried, not basa! bwahahaha. Eh di sana kung basa sya di basa na tawag sa kanya. *I had basa for breakfast. Ekkkk anlaswa naman! TG.). The process of salting and drying preserves the fish and you can actually safely store this for some time. This is done to a number of kinds of fish so you can have different variants of tuyo.
Tuyo is usually eaten for breakfast with fried rice, tomatoes and coffee.
I am such a sucker for breakfast! [Let alone Tuyo!] A very good combination - my dried tuyo, jeprox and fried eggs. The mixed veggies is just a substitute for the tomatoes.
I badly needed a drink!
As y’all know, I diwatang_byaning have 2 or more (the others as in saling-kit) blogs that I managed with my busy unemployed life filled with welfare checks - lol, I have all the time to manage blogs no! Are you a busy person and don’t have the time to update your blog? HIRE ME! Hehehehe…
Anyways just an update: I am busy ever ever exploring things, new things indeed - “Huwatttttttt, who said that I am becoming a straight person now?” Nevah evah evah! [Hello! Ang damdamin ko mas lalake pa sa tatay mo!] (My feelings are more manly than any manly man that you know in your life!) *Checks if my English translation is right…*
Oh well, where was I? OK. The other day Young indeed did a little
exploration which really left me tired and thirsty… Went to Nabos to get a quick bite to eat (chips and a smoothie). I heard (hearsay) that they have very good sandwiches here and soup (maybe I’ll try it some other time.)
I like the theme of Nabos very relaxed and it’s just inviting… (check out it’s walls.)
Labor Day Weekend: Farewell Summer - A fist with Young! Part 2
Continuation…
Let the fisting begin!!!
I started making the Papaya salad first, I know that it’ll definitely eat my time away… Good thing is I bought a fruit peeler or else I would ending up feeding it to them by dinner. (Even I have the fruit peeler, it took me an hour and half geez!) Both of my hand were sore after that, like right now I could feel a soreness on both of my arms, I don’t know if it’s from the strenuous workout I had last Thursday or from peeling that Papaya… I swear I would not make Papaya salad for more than 3 people lol.
After that (SIGHS: Good, there are no visitors yet!) So I did get ready the grill for my Liempo and NY strip steak (For our non-ethnic friends) LOLS! Who doesn’t eat crappy Liempo which is very fatty and we love it hehehe…
I am not done with my grilling yet!!! Ekkkkkkkk not yet! I still have to grill my (herb chicken limone) which is still a little bit frozen uhg… Promise I thawed it the day before just after work.
