Pinas: Street Food (Part 1)
(Quek-quek and squidballs. Both are deep fried and serve on a skewers, serve with sweet or hot sauce.)
All I can say about Pinas street food or what others refer to as Hepa Zone lol - is really masarap! *Though I was a little afraid noh, that I might catch Hepatitis or H1N1.* Oki lang, may travel insurance naman, so DO OR DIE NA NO - hahaha. Just kiddin’.
But hey, try to notice it… The vendor was using a serving spoon noh! O diva, wala nang double dipping! So I guess Hepa Zone is not so highrisk of Hepatitis anymore?
I Can truly say that, Filipinos love to eat! Why? Why not, choconut! No, seriously - Everywhere I looked at there’s plethora of food and in every corner there’s a restaurant, ohhh the restaurants or turo-turo (Point-point, cause you have to point or turo what you want to have or eat… Intiendes?) there in the PI are like mushrooms… Tsk! You woudn’t believe it, in one freakin’ eskinita (Alley) there are 5 sari-sari stores (Retail store) and at least 7 turo-turo’s… Hehehe, graveh no… Nakakatuwa…
I love this little fried chickens! They taste like fried chicken lol, only they’re little…
I ate it like I was Andrew Zimmern the host of Bizarre Foods on Discovery channel, but unlike Andrew Zimmern - Hindi ako kasing dambuhala nya! Hahaha… Syet kasi ultimo alikabok ata kinakain noon hahaha…
To be continued…
25 yeah but, no but!
Like what I have planned, I cooked for my friends, last Saturday - Yes it was my birthday. Nothing fancy! Just a typical ihaw-ihaw… I was tired really, but I was happy too see them all and spend time with them last Saturday! *Tangina ang plastic ko talaga! Parang Orocan-can ang plastic na walastic hehehe…*
I started preparing around 4ish [Namalengke pa po ako!] It took me like an hour to take off this freakin’ oysters from it’s shell!
[I like ceviche! Maarte kasi ako! Pwede namang kilawin lang, ceviche pa bwahahaha!!!] These oysters are like gold kasi it really took my time noh! Tangina sa pwet pala tinitira yon - Excuse my Fraincais! But Young does not know that, not until last Saturday when I called my friend Gil and asked him - *Pare paano ba magbukas ng talaba? Bukasan mo sa pwet - he said! Ah ganun ba? Bwhehehe* Eh asan ba ang pwet dito????????????? Yong may hinge sabi nya! Ahhh okay *Sabay kamot ng ulo.* After that syet it was like A-B-C! GrrrrRrrrrr!
Double Choclit
I may not be a winner in some Las Vegas, Atlantic City Casinos, Alameda Casinos, Reno Casinos, Indian Casinos in So Cal isama na din natin ang Casino Filipino sa Tagaytay at sa Menila hehehe… *Di man din ako WINNER sa pinagdadaan ko ngayon sa buhay ko, because of some people giving me a hard hard hard hard on? EKKKKKKKKKKK time lang and chorvaloo!*
[Thank gawd, I am not a gun owner lols. But instead hehehe ipinagpasa demonyo ko na lang sya bwehehehe...] I am sure Karma’s just one step away from this persons back door apartment… Bwahahah back door?… Hanep, cause there’s no front door kaya, just at the back! Ekkkk full of? Nutella? Ikkkk ikkkkk ikkkk sosyal Nutella pa lols… (EXCUSE ME!!!~~~ Lily’s it is in my humble opinion.
But this waffle and hot choclit sure is a winner!!! *I love eating chocolates in times of stress at kung ano-ano pang anik de chorvalais* After indulging I did sure feel great, just like wonder woman with her magic lasso.
So if you are feeling anxious? stressed? mad? want to kill somebody? Ekkk no dont kill - JUST EAT Choclit! It’s worth it!
It’s not digiorno!
I may be in love with pizza but I am not one of the four wise-cracking pizza-obsessed mutant ninja turtles who fight the forces of evil from their sewer hideout noh! [Hehehe...] *Nalabas ng tunay ang pagka-bata ko footah!*
As I could remember, I am already into cooking as young as 11 years old. O diba! [Pucha I had my first drink Chivas Regal when I was 5 kaya bwahaha. That is for reals patak-patak lang naman?] So yeah, I helped my motherfather in the kitchen at a very young age… Bayo-bayo ganun kayod-kayod (I hated it when we have Ube and Coconut noh! Masakit kaya sa kamay yon! Nakakangalay sa kili-kili riliiii.) Gisa-gisa *Sa sariling mantika? Lols!!!*
I remember I did my first pizza when I was 11 years old. My parents would buy a crust from the grocery and they would let me do my own pizza as in, I loved it!
Just simple…
Put tomato paste in the crust then all the toppings you could imagine! I liked mine with alot of fresh green peppers and onions and olives… Ohhh and cheese [Mozzarella!] *Melts in my mouth everrrrrr EVER!*
Puto bumbong at mainit na stokolate
Yesterday afternoon we was in the Filipino store [Bought Alfonso tablea and the ingredients for the puto bumbong.] and even saw nakita namin sila RezeenTot at si Miss Pink Biik o diva!
Pramis sumakit ang mga kamay at kili-kili ko kakakayod noong Ube at niyog arggggggggggggggg…
Get together dinner
The other day we was in a party, there were alot of foods - But am just posting my favorites hehehe…
I love the Chinese beef stew - This is the best! With all that super melt in your mouth na litid. Whoa it truly clog my arteries to the 9th level hehehe…
This is the kare-kare ansarap ang lambot ng mamoy at ng maka!
of course it is not a Filipino party if there’s no pancit! Oh see 2 pa ang pancit - palabok at canton.
It was such a lovely evening shared with friends! [Good food + Good people = WINNER o PA-CANTON naman kayo jan!]
2 AM Jade Harbour
After our Halloween party the Butsi Gang aka Notorious MSG heads to… Wherelse? Chinatown in Jade Harbour.
For a start, we ordered chicken corn soup.
What you are about to see is our PIGGING OUT MENU hehehe… I love to eat specially after drinking… Drunk or not drunk I would still eat, I am used to it, if I don’t eat after drinking I might have a hangover.
Lobster
are normally purchased live with their claws banded to prevent them from injuring each other or the purchaser.
Best eaten when fresh, Lobsters are generally prepared and cooked while they are still alive. Place the live lobster into a pot of boiling water or steam. Lobsters are also served fried, grilled and even baked.
TIP: Just a friendly cooking ng ina mo reminder - Do not freeze the lobster, it may toughen the meat.
Happy Hour: Bump [Follow up!]
I got a little bit carried away with my entry before this one,
so I went to Bump and met up with my friend John [Whom I used to date alot - as in alot before, that is when - I was still single and evelevel lol...] for cocktails.
I am so ready to go down this list and get drunk!!! [I just hope, I don't get kick out - hahaha]
Anyhow Patco is just right in the corner… [Madali lang for me gumapang bweheheh... On both sides of 13th and Locust Streets there is a Patco.]
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…
