Middle Easrtern Food: Norma’s
Little you guys did know, Iyoung is a huge fan of Middle Eastern food! Why? Tinatanong pa ba yon? It delicious it’s healthy wahahaha kelan pa ako naging health freak? Well it is much healthier compared than Pinoy food na sobrang greasy at kung anik-anik taktak-tak right?
Over time in the Middle East there have been political conflicts between the Jews and the Palestinians over land [Arab-Israeli conflict], but did you guys also know that they’re also fighting for food? Since Israel claimed that Falafel is their national snack. OMG FCOL these conflicts have been around ages noh ano ba and we all know that. Falafel can be an Israeli food or Arab food - I don’t know and I don’t care, Falafel has been there for ages and all I care about is how delicious it is made by one of my neighboring Middle Eastern restaurant run by Palestinian chefs originally from Israel.
Akkkkk enough of the politics! Yesterday afternoon we - I and America’s Top Monay had a lunch date at Norma’s Mediterranean restaurant
(You see whenever I am craving for good Mediterranean food, I go to Norma’s. Their not too pricey. They’re food is good and it really gives me multi-orgasm sa sarap oh my gravey!!! Plus the server is si PAPA as in papable? Ekkk no it’s PAPAhadah lols.) Plus at some nights they have belly dancers dancing in the tune of Arabian nights wowoweeee. Lebanese Blond anyone?
I eat with my emotions?
Isn’t it obvious yet? Hehehe… But at least after eating this massive food I was running like a dog and working out so hard at the gym no. (At least I am doing something!!!) Hindi nakahilata lang. [Hindi naman ako ganun ka batugan lols.]
I have read somewhere that If you eat in response to your feelings, especially when you are not hungry, you are an emotional eater. Ekkkkkkkkkkkkk… So I think I am an emotional eater then. Cause even if I am not hungry I eat, I dunno but I love munching anything even - for a fact that I just ate a meal. (My emotions are more hungry than my body?)
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.]
Brunch: Longsilog
Filipinos traditionally eat three main meals a day - almusal (breakfast), tanghalian (lunch), and hapunan (dinner) plus an afternoon snack called (merienda). Basically Filipinos love food and eating! [Right Demi?] And believe me every meal there should be rice. A meal with no rice is no meal with the Filipinos! (They even eat rice during midnight snacks no! Hehehehe… Now isn’t that a hard core?)
Yesterday I decided to cook my last brunch in DC and it is lonsilog (longanisa, fried eggs and fried rice with a side of green beans and mayo) Nothing special! I just miss eating this very traditional Filipino breakfast! (It’s been awhile since my body had a dose of MSG no!)
herb chicken limone
Serve with pita bread and potato salad. (Am sorry if I haven’t been really active these past few days, I am just busy!)
If YoungCan cook, he can cook too!
Samak has been involved in Thai politics for over 30 years, and has been exploring Thai cuisine on both TV and radio since the 1990s. His cookbook Chimpai Bonpai (meaning “Tasting, Complaining”) is in its ninth edition. After Sundaravej’s election victory in February, he even invited Thai reporters over to his home to sample his homemade noodles. Can’t a man love his politics and noodles? [Many than to my Thai elves namely Ratana and Suraphong!]
What is the luya for? Magtitinola ka ba? Instead of going to the market, do yourself a favor next time - call on ChuvaChienes hehehe…
Prime minister Samak Sundaravej, a well-known foodie and a famous TV chef, has defended himself in the Constitutional Court against accusations that he broke a prohibition on private employment while in office by hosting a television cooking show.
Sunday’s lunch: Ribs and Chopped
Sunday’s the only time for us [Me and Chuva] to relax… OCness + Clean = Relaxed hehehe… In fairness we finished pretty much early today without fighting no… Usually we finish early cause we was fighting so if we was fighting we don’t talk to each other, we bitch while we clean bwahahaha! (Secret to productivity: FIGHT!)
Actually were kind of doing things fast cause we was about to go to Chinatown and have sum Dim sum but unfortunately they only serve dim sum till 3 pm ugh… (Para kayong Post Office at DMV. Laging ang aga-aga nyong magsara ARG!)
So instead of eating at “some taktaktak Chinese restaurant” Chuva decided to grill some ribs *YUM* specially marinated with our very special secret sauce. (I can’t tell the recipe for the marinate - cause it’s secret nga eh noh!) If I tell you, then I have to kill you bwehehehe.
A steak to remember…
I remember, when I was younger…
So much younger than today??? Hehehe…
Taboo: Modern Toilet
I was talking to my Taiwanese friend the other day, who told me story back in her hometown (Taiwan, Taipe) about a Toilet eatery…
Where actual dishes take the form of toilet bowls - EWWWW!!! (Would you eat out of a faux toilet bowl?) It’s somewhat revolting about combining human waste with food, yet this restaurant Modern Toilet makes this concept fun.
Modern Toilet draws on people ages 15 to 35, especially students from the three universities that’s nearby…
According to the little research elves [Ling-Ling and Fengshan] of the fairie - It first opened “Modern Toilet” back in 2004 after being inspired by a Japanese cartoon featuring restroom images and the toilet themes run through the food and drinks menus…
