A blog on food, beverages, eating, home recipes, dining out and restaurant reviews.
If I am not a graduate of CompSci and now working as Db Associate... I could have pursued my HRM course in UP and dreamed of joining Iron Chef America. I could have been a challenger against Chef Cora. or Chef Mike Or I could be now building my dream kitchen. Libre lang ang mangarap... pagbigyan nyu na... ahaha ^_^
Read more...I used to be a fan of Double Chocolate Cream Frapp and Strawberry Frapp but yesterday I tried coffee jelly and love it! I love these squishy small jellies.
I am so happy!!! Why? Because it's FOOD TRIP FRIDAY!
I'm now officially a member of FTF! To celebrate, here's my first post for FTF, the food below is a picture from my previous birthday celebration. I was in St.Louis, MO that time away from my family that's why it was just a simple get to gether with my officemates. Hey! It was also a Friday. Pizza and beer with great friends. Cheeers!! ^_^
I found my flair again for cooking and spent 45 minutes tonight for this. It is my version of Ginisang Toge with Tofu and Veggies.
Ingredients:
Garlic
Onions
1/2 kl. Ground Pork (boiled w/ 1/2 cup water before sauteed)
Baguio Beans
1 pc. Carrot (sliced into small pieces)
Bean sprouts (Toge or Mongo sprouts)
4 pcs Tofu (fried and diced)
Oyster Sauce and pepper to taste.
Sautee the ingredients in the above order. Add 3 cups of water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add oyster sauce and pepper to taste. Enjoy! ^_^ You can substitute ground pork with shrimp.
These are the sweets served when we watched the Cardinal's game in MO. The company I work for I heard, is a sponsor of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. So everytime there is a game, employees can get an invite or free tickets to watch the game in a special suite with a very good view, cold beers and sinful desserts! My friend Charm agrees with me on this from her blog.
When my brother graduated for college last March 2008, I brought them at Blackbeard's Seafood Island and we celebrated with their Boodle Feast. Click here for their menu. This is a "Kamayan Style" feast good for 3-4 or 5-6. The food was very good! Sulit!
During my 5 months stay abroad, I did not think I would crave sooo much for this Filipino favorite. Isa pa... isa pa... isa pang Chicken Joy! ^_^ I'm glad I found Jollibee in Los Angeles, California courtesy of my friend Aileen.
Here is a picture of the Beef Wanton Soup I ordered on a chinese restaurant in SM Baguio. It was cold that time and it was a nice experience to eat soup even if I can also order this from Chowking. We also ordered Fried Tofu and Green Mango and Strawberry Shake for beverage.
The Best American fast food staple. Fries and Burgers.
Here is the best fish dish I tasted during our team dinner. It was in this restaurant in STL called "Sake in the City" a japanese themed resto.
Last June 2, 2007. I had the pleasure of visiting Anhouser Busch in St. Louis, MO. It was the home of Budweiser Beers. I was happy seeing the Philippine flag there. We had a tour around the beer factory. Inexplain sa amin how beers are fermented and the ingredients that makes Budweiser. At the end of the tour, we get to have a FREE taste of the beer products they have. For non alcoholic drinkers like me, one glassful of beer is waaaay too much. ^_^Here are my collegues, happy with ice cold beers and pretzels.
This picture is a usual scene for tomadors and tambay.... ^_^
I had the pleasure of sitting in on one last year during my grand father's first year death anniversary and would you believe, this is inuman with my mom? ahahaha.... :D
Sabi nila... if you want to stay young... you eat lechon. Maaga ka matsutsugi because of it's high cholesterol content. So yung mga ganitong pagkain... dapat minsan lang.
My friends and I went to Baguio last March 2009. That is the first time I was able to see baguio. We went to Strawberry Farm. Here are the pictures of Baguio's Freshest Strawberries from Charm. You can buy a basket full of strawberry per Kilo. Or you can pick strawberries by yourself for PhP250.00 per 2 kilos.
Here is our version of Chicken Curry.
Here is a picture of my friend Mitzi's Bday cake. It was a given by our colleague Timon from St. Louis, MO. It was such a sweet gesture from him.
Another awesome treat below is an ice cream choco cake for Susan's (our boss) Baby shower.
