      It’s that time of the month again where Kulinarya Club and its lovely January hosts—Pearl of Sassy Chef and Thea of Words and Nosh—picked a very interesting but challenging theme.  The theme is to come up with a healthful dish that you would like to have for your birthday!  My cough-cough-choke-tieth birthday [...]

Pan Fried Shrimp AKA Halabos na Hipon is a lazy man’s way of cooking shrimp. All you have to do is wash the shrimp, add salt, and pan fry. That’s it! The shrimp is very flavorful because it is cooked in its own juice. At our house, this dish is eaten along with other seafood [...]

I love cooking sweet and sour fish because it’s so easy to prepare. Just fry the fish, make the sauce, and stir fry the veggies and that’s it! The only thing I don’t like about frying fish in the house is the smell. That is why when we remodeled our kitchen three years ago, I [...]

I like having mine crispy and with the condiments of tossed diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and few drops of patis (fish sauce). Wash your hands, get your rice and dig in. We’re gonna eat this daing Pinoy style!

Lovely ladies of Kulinarya Club – Adora & Diona came up with a wonderful theme for the month of June and the theme is about white food. It is about weddings, it is about getting married, and it is about one of the happiest days of our lives. Well, here is my 2 cents on [...]

For now we will refer to this dish as Ukoy. Why? Hmm, because uhmm, that is the proper name for it? Okay, okay, I’m just too lazy to type “Vegetable Fritter with Shrimp” over, and over. Now that we got the name thing out of the way, let’s talk about Ukoy. Ukoy is or was [...]

This last Sunday was kind of a slow day for me at least as far as work and business is concern. In a way, it’s a good thing because my son and I went to have lunch in a nearby hospital with a nurse who took care of me when I got sick last year. [...]

Another no-meat Friday especially for a Catholic family like ours and this is going to go on until after the lent season which will be Easter Sunday. Well, this is what I cooked and served for my family last night and everyone enjoyed it, so I guess Mister Carnivore like me can’t complain huh!. I [...]

Once in a while, I like taking a break from cooking Filipino foods to explore other Asian culinary adventures. Today we are going to be making Shrimp Pad Thai — one of my favorite in Thai’s delicious dishes. Did you know that Pad Thai is one of Thailand’s national dishes? So, going to a Thai [...]

Pinangat na isda or stewed fish reminds me of sinigang and also Tom Yum – – their distant cousin in Southeast Asian Countries like Thailand. They all have this sourness in their flavors (minus the heat) that give us pleasure each time we take a sip of their soup. To me, this dish and its [...]

Looking for easy fish recipe for lunch or dinner? Here it is – crispy fried Trout with Mango salsa to go with it. This is the type of dish we like making and eating on lazy-just kicking back kind of weekends. Something that we would feast on our backyard table with no utensils, just the [...]

If you like shrimp, Camaron Rebosado is a perfect dish that is very simple to prepare. Some people like using large shrimp and some prefer the medium size. My preference depends on what I am serving Camaron Rebosado for. If I am cooking it as a family meal, I would use the large-sized shrimp and [...]

I learned about this dish many years ago from a classic Chinese cookbook named “Classic Chinese Cookbook” LOL! Seriously, that is the title of the book and the author’s name is Yan-Kit. Well, of course I always, always try the recipe then disassemble and reassemble if needed, to create not necessarily a more superior dish, [...]

It’s always our family’s belief that if you start the first day of the year with abundance of good things, you will have abundance of good things throughout the year! So, every New Year’s day, we welcome the year with food – Lots of it. This year, we cooked different varieties of seafood like Fish, [...]

||||||||||||||| Seafood is something our family love to feast on and can’t get enough of. Whether we are in Fisherman’s Wharf in Ventura here in California or just a simple-fun weekend get-together in our backyard; crab is always one of the favorites. In this recipe, we will use Blue Crabs which are medium size crabs. [...]

This Fish Cake was cooked by my daughter Kareena, so I’m not going to take any credits for this dish. I was just an observer and taste tester. Okay, okay not just a taste tester; I actually gobbled a lot of them. Hey! It was good and you should try it. She used fresh salmon [...]

Yummy dish yet very simple to prepare and cook. The Marinating time on this dish takes a lot longer than the actual cooking time and preparation is just breeze. You can also buy these shrimp already peeled and deveined in most major supermarkets. All you have to do is marinate and grill and you are [...]

Escabeche is a Filipino dish that is easy to prepare and cook. You can use fillet of Rock Cod, fillet of Red Snapper or even fillet of Tilapia. You can also use whole fish if you’d like. My only fuzz about using whole fish is – if I am already cooking the dish, I don’t [...]

Hmm, where is that package of Salmon my wife bought yesterday? I know it’s here in the freezer somewhere . . . yesss I found it! Wait, what’s that? I think the salmon just spoke to me and said something. Ah okay, Salmon says. . . Let’s grill. OMG, am I going to be grilling [...]

This dish is very easy to prepare and cook. You can buy milk fish in most Asian supermarkets like Seafood City or 99 Ranch Market.  To make sure that you are buying fresh Milk fish, here are some tips: The eyes are white or translucent and not red. Scales are shiny. Body is firm when [...]

If you like fish and coconut milk, this is a dish that is very simple to prepare and cook.   Tilapia is a very inexpensive type of fish and can be purchased from any Asian or Hispanic market. Sometimes, even from your favorite  supermaket chain.  But if you’re gonna ask me, I prefer buying this fish [...]

Finally it’s Saturday morning and it’s time to go to the market!  Aside from buying the ingredients that I will need for my catering orders, I will get the chance to pick up a box of these babies.  I have been craving for baked mussels for about a week now since I mentioned to a [...]
