Seafood Tom Yum

26 October 1229 October 12 Iska

I love watching cooking shows and the boys enjoy them now as much as I do.  The last show we’ve been watching together ended already but the kid couldn’t stop thinking about the yummy seafood dishes.  And so, as requested … Continue reading Seafood Tom Yum

Filipino-Style Spaghetti with Corned Beef Silverside and Meatballs

22 October 1222 October 12 Iska

I had been cooking my latest version of Filipino-style Spaghetti for quite sometime now and have been planning to blog about it but never had the chance.  It’s a good thing this month’s KCC theme, hosted by Gio and Bea, … Continue reading Filipino-Style Spaghetti with Corned Beef Silverside and Meatballs

Pinoy Spaghetti

Spaghetti Bolognese a la Pinoy

21 October 1222 October 12 Erwin

I am definitely at a lost on making an authentic Pinoy Spaghetti. I haven’t eaten one maybe since 1992 when I was still working in a bank, and a Jollibee Spaghetti (Joy?) was a regular celebration meal whenever there was … Continue reading Spaghetti Bolognese a la Pinoy

Chicken Inasal

Oven-Grilled Chicken Inasal

12 October 1213 October 12 Iska

I just love my new kitchen, specifically the oven.  I have mentioned in my previous posts that I stopped baking and roasting for more than a year at our old home.  I hate the sound of the fire alarm and … Continue reading Oven-Grilled Chicken Inasal

Prawn Curry

Prawn Curry with Fresh Young Spinach Leaves

28 September 1228 September 12 Iska

This is a simple yet flavorful curry dish.  I like crushing the prawn heads to make flavorful stock rather than cooking them together with the meat.  There is nothing wrong with cooking whole prawns complete with shells and heads but … Continue reading Prawn Curry with Fresh Young Spinach Leaves

Pinchos

Pinchos (Spanish Pork BBQ/Kebabs)

23 September 1223 September 12 Erwin

The Filipino way of marinating Pork to make the very popular Pork BBQ is usually with Soy Sauce, Sugar and Vinegar. Both play an integral role in the mixture, and in one way or another, maybe for centuries now, this … Continue reading Pinchos (Spanish Pork BBQ/Kebabs)

Pan-fried Adobo Chicken Wings

Saucy Pan-Fried Crispy Chicken Wings Adobo

21 September 1228 September 12 Iska

Honestly I’ve never heard of crispy adobo before.  All the while I thought I created something new!  Naadik pa nga ako.  And for quite sometime I was in this ‘adobo mode’ when using chicken wings.  Not until Erwin mentioned to … Continue reading Saucy Pan-Fried Crispy Chicken Wings Adobo

Pesto Pasta

Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta

15 September 1221 September 12 Iska

I was extra busy for more than a couple of weeks.  Just imagine having deadlines while you’re moving to a new place.  Chaos. The fact that my phone line and broadband weren’t transferred right in time added to my stress … Continue reading Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta

Stuffed Pork Stomach ala Spam

13 August 1213 August 12 Erwin

The ‘Chef’ of the cafeteria on one of my assignments as a temporary cook would make a couple of rolls of meatloaf for lunch to serve fifty. It’s probably one of the easiest and cheapest dishes that can be made … Continue reading Stuffed Pork Stomach ala Spam

hamburger

Homemade Hamburgers Ala-Iska

10 August 1210 August 12 Iska

Occasionally I serve hamburgers to the boys for dinner.  Para hindi naman parating kanin at ulam.  And it isn’t difficult to make delicious and moist beef patties knowing that most if not all NZ beef is grass-fed due to the … Continue reading Homemade Hamburgers Ala-Iska

Sinigang na Isda

Wild Cod Fillet in Sour Broth (Sinigang na Isda)

4 August 125 August 12 Erwin

Like my Dad’s unusual taste and take on food, my Mom also had her own specialties. Everything she had on the dinner table was considered ‘nutritious’ and the food she ate was constantly nagged to us as the ‘healthiest’ food … Continue reading Wild Cod Fillet in Sour Broth (Sinigang na Isda)

Paksiw na Lechon

30 July 1231 July 12 Iska

No, this wasn’t lunch or dinner last weekend but a few months back when I was given a ‘pabaon’ upon attending a friend’s birthday party.  Such a treat!  There might be another way of cooking leftover lechon but having a … Continue reading Paksiw na Lechon
