Celebrating Father's Day

Instead of going to the mall to celebrate father's day, I asked hubby and daughter to just buy ice cream and told them that I'll be cooking pasta. Little did they know that I'm going decorate the dinning room and use special plates and wine glasses to have nice and restaurant-like effect for an early dinner date.

I cooked our fave fresh tomatoes and basil and black olives pasta and added some leftover hotdogs from last nights. Then I took out my mother's fine china with floral decor and gold edges. So romantic! We even had red wine. Then I made a nice 'happy daddy's day" artwork and pasted it on the mirror in front of the dining table.

I love you, Tiks!

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!
