I got inspired (and green with envy) when I saw Mike’s new WP theme. I’ve been looking for an alternate theme for months and I thank my lucky star I found this! I’m so happy I only have few things to tweak. Love that navigation tab above.
Anyways, here’s another gulay guisado Pinoy-style (Philippine-style sautéed vegetables).

We went to a newly-opened hangar-size Carrefour branch and saw pre-soaked clams that looked pretty clean. I miss mom’s cooking so I decided to grab some for that day’s dinner. Yeah my first halaan (clam) soup in Beijing!
I still soaked them for an hour or two at home just to be sure.
The cool breeze is already in the air and I know I need to post my picture of Chinese fruit salad shown above. It is what I call Beijing’s version of Philippine halo-halo, a sweet concoction of different fruits and other things including milk and shaved ice. It was by accident that we found it [...]

I had sitao this weekend too but with prawns instead of minced pork. I like the beans still crunchy. Crunch. Crunch.
Btw, i really like your new clean layout. I meant to say it before but forgot.

Cool new look! Buti na lang I didn’t use this theme. The icons kasi somehow reminded me of ‘amedeo’. . . . . and brunei - so classical-malay style! Hehehe! Hey, we had sitaw, too, here in the ‘orfanage’ yesterday!

Sitao guisado is always lovely, but we use bagoong balayan rather than plain patis for flavoring. It makes the beans sooo savory.
I love the new look of your site nga pala!

Inggit din ako. I love your new theme, clean and elegant.
Sitao is one of my favorite veggies. Kaya every week iba’t ibang luto ng sitao meron ako.

Eh! Cool new look! Good job!
Try this. Blanch the beans and quickly refresh them in cold/ice water to stop the cooking process. In a saute pan, add butter. When the butter softens, toss in the beans. Set aside. In the same pan, saute some french shallots and garlic. When they become aromatic, add white wine and chicken stock. Reduce to simmer.Toss back the beans and serve immediately. Beans shouldn’t turn into olive green (overcooked).
