La.Pi.S#26: Fettuccine Carbonara
I figured buying fresh pasta over standard dried ones is way better; the pasta itself is yummier and even easier to prepare. Takes only 5 minutes or less to cook. Buying bottled carbonara sauce instead of preparing everything from scratch … Continue reading La.Pi.S#26: Fettuccine Carbonara

Roast Chicken Stew (with Home-made Lechon Sauce!)
I hosted a simple dinner with new friends about a month ago and roasted 3 whole chickens. Potluck kami… so I ended up with massive left-overs. Don’t wanna be eating the same dish for days so I thought about paksiw na lechong manok. Perfect! Problem is… I don’t have Mang Tomas lechon sauce. Having no time to buy, I googled “how to make lechon sauce” and ended up reading Marketman’s recipe. Lechon sauce from scratch – fabulous!
I first tried his recipe; replacing cider vinegar with standard mukhasim vinegar and Reno liver spread with a packet of liver pate. Instant sawsawan for fried pork chops. Nice, YUM and chunky. Ubos agad. And so the next day, I decided to use the same recipe but go straight to paksiw na lechong manok.

La.Pi.S12: Beef Kaldereta
I can never say no to the creamy goodness of beef kaldereta. The melted cheese and the grainy texture of liver pate mixed with tomato sauce and flavorful beef stock – definitely fabulous as rice topping. Funny how I always … Continue reading La.Pi.S12: Beef Kaldereta
Oven-Roasted Baby Potatoes
I was invited to Mayumi’s 1st birthday party and decided to bring oven-roasted baby potatoes. I know. It seems to too adult for toddlers but hey, these baby parties are normally swarmed with parents accompanying their kids, right? For moms … Continue reading Oven-Roasted Baby Potatoes

Brussels Sprouts Stir-Fry
It’s been a while since I last posted a veggie recipe so here’s an easy one. I know lots of people don’t like these miniature cabbages but hey… you might change your mind.
Rock Lobster!
It was around 3pm and funny how the sun rays were almost parallel to the ground and hit the crayfish plate on the kitchen bar from the living room glazing. Yeah, I know. It looks like a villain from a sci-fi alien movie.
Like shrimp heads, crayfish head is really yummy. Especially when this big. My friends E&T gave me 3 foot-long crayfish heads and this is my first time to cook this mean-looking freshwater crustaceans also known as rock lobsters. I followed my instinct and thought about halabos na hipon.
Steamed Mussels
There are so much ways to cook mussels. I usually have ‘em marinated in lemon, buttered, steamed with sweet chili sauce or baked with garlic and cheese. Friday night, I went back to basics but with a little difference. Mom’s way is to sprinkle salt all over the mussels, shelled and all, and steam until cooked. I basically did the same but with a dash of pepper and a bit of presentation.
