Morphing Into A Foodaholic

My family loves to eat but it was a friend, B.G. who introduced me to gastronomic delights in the late 1990's. I remember the nights when we (along with other friends) would roam the streets of Nakpil and other streets in Malate just to satisfy our food cravings. Our fave pit-stop then was Hap Chan in Malate and Whistlestop in Shangrila Plaza or Makati.

There was also a time when another foodie friend recommended RJ's Bulalo near Boni Avenue Circle. This was a very memorable dinner with B. The bulalo itself was delicious but he made it extra special by surprising me with .... wine! We had so much fun and laughter that night. Imagine the pairing- wine and bulalo.

And I can't forget the time we dined at Circles in Makati Shangri-La. After stuffing ourselves with food and dessert, he suddenly left me for about half an hour and when he came back, he was holding this box of cherries that his aunt just brought from Hong Kong. Yum! Glad that the resto didn't charge us for corkage.

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!
