RECIPE: TKG's Pajeon

Watching tons of kdramas can really make you crave and enjoy Korean dishes and my home is not an exemption. And I love replicating dishes so here's my version of pajeon. By the way, pajeon is akin to Japanese okonomiyaki. Checking online, "pa" refers to spring onions, while "jeon" is pancake (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pajeon). This is so very easy to make and great as snack.


Ingredients:

4 medium size eggs
2 stalks leeks, sliced into inches
4 tbsp kimchi (or as desired), cut into small pieces
3 tbsp Maya all-purpose flour
1 tsp black sesame
1 tbsp Dona Elena olive oil
6 pcs large shrimps, cut into small pieces
a pinch of salt

*** I used store-bought kimchi



In a bowl, beat egg and gradually add the flour. Add about 1/3 of the leeks, and everything except for the oil. Make sure to mix well. Coat non-stick pan with oil until it heats up then add the pajeon batter. Cover the pan and wait for it to cook. Add the remaining leeks if the pajeon is almost done. Serving is good for 2-3.

    1. Got my stash of kimchi from the Korean grocery in Greenhills. A small small round container costs P50-60. But if you can consume tons of kimchi at home, its cheaper to buy it per kilo. That's around P400. I did try making kimchi but I'm not yet confident with my recipe though ...

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!
