Kare-Kare Night

Yummy! I used pork sinigang cut and lots of pechay and sitaw. Hubby and daughter loved it- they should! Otherwise they'll get hungry if they don't like the way I cook. We all had third helpings. Then there's dessert, Arce's Mantecado Ice Cream. But let's talk about the kare-kare first. I let the meat boil for about and hour and a half (the water contains a clove of garlic) before I added Mama Cita's Kare-Kare mix. Let ot boil again for another fifteen minutes before adding the sitaw and the pechay. And of course, you have to season it with salt and pepper.

Other notable kare-kare that i've tasted came from the kitchen of Tita Baby and Ate Annie (Resti's sister). I also like the kare-kare in Barrio Fiesta but not in Aristocrat.

Next time I cook kare-kare, I plan to try it with ox tripe though I guess I have to use pressure cooker.

Ciao!

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
