RECIPE: Chef Fern Aracama's Patatas Riojana

As promised, here is another recipe by Chef Fern Aracama. It is very easy to make and nice soup option on our Noche Buena table or even every day. :)



Ingredients:

3 tbsp   olive oil
1/3 cup chopped white onions
1 tbsp chopped garlic
2 pcs chorizo, sliced
1 tbsp paprika
2 pcs bayleaf
1/4 cup white wine
600 grams potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
1.5 liters flavorful chicken stock, bring to a simmer separately
1 tsp ground white pepper
to taste  sea salt

Procedure:

1. In a pot, warm the olive oil and add the onions. Cook over medium heat until the onions are soft. Add the garlic and the chorizos. Render some of the fat from the chorizos.

2. Add the paprika and bay leaf. Cook for a few moments and then add the rest of the ingredients. Cover and cook until the potatoes are done.

3. Taste and adjust seasoning. Lightly mash the potatoes with a ladle. This will add texture to the soup.

4. Serve hot. Good for 4 persons.

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow! 

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!
