Passion For Cooking

"I am invited for dinner by a lady who has so much passion for cooking!"

One my my guests tonight, Tita Baby, told her daughter where she was going.

This was our post KST dinner together with Tita Corret and Tita Evelyn who was partner for this year.

Mona, Shey and Tricia were also my guests.

Too bad Tita Ope and Cat could not join us. I'm glad that Mia was able to enjoy my cooking as well.

Kare Kare with vegetables.

When I was buying the oxtail at S&R last Sunday, I noticed that it was skinless!!! I asked the lady beside me who got 4 packs if it was a good cut and she said, "Yes! Look, there is no skin! Who wants to eat fat anyway?!?!"

Ummmm.... I do!!!

The request of Tita Evelyn was Binagoongan Baboy.

I also cooked chicken Adobo, the usual partner of Kare Kare.

Mangoes with Nova Villa Bagoong.

Tita Baby brought vegetable samosas with tamarind sauce!

It was sooooo good! The crust was so flaky and not greasy at all! She accepts orders! You may email me for more details.

Tita Evelyn brought suman from Lipa! She always bring some to the US whenever she visits her children.

I asked Mona to make Buko Pandan Salad.

That is her new product. Let me know if you want to order from her. It is 650/half gallon.

I really enjoy cooking and feeding my friends. It is how I show my love to my favorite people.

Hmmmm I wonder what I will cook next and whom to feed?

Thank you all for coming and for making me happy!

Sherman's Inihaw

Sherman's Home!

He grills the best liempo!

They also brought Bicol Express! Extremely spicy!!!

I loved the Pinangat na Laing from Bicol!

I cooked the Beef Kalitiran with mushroom sauce.

I also asked Sherman to grill the Cebu Chorizo!!! It tasted so much better than the fried version.

Our guest was Tricia, Jing's sister.

Dessert was my homemade cream puffs!

Sorry Mariger! We ate your share. She was supposed to join us but she is taking anti- allergy meds. It makes her groggy.

But..... Do not worry! We will have more ihaw-ihaw lunches!

Bicol Food

Babita invited us (Cat, Tricia, Mabel, Mona and I) yesterday and she served food from the Bicol region! Mostly dishes with coconut milk.

It was Daisy, the cook, who prepared the spread for us!

Laing!

I enjoyed eating it because it was not makati.

Ginataang Papaya. Simple yet you won't be able to stop eating.

Bicol Express.

Fried Baby Tawilis!

Homemade desserts:

Cuchinta

Cassava Suman with sauce

Light and Fluffy Butter Rum Cake.

Mabel and Tricia brought pastries from Dean and Deluca.

Thank you so much Babita for lunch!

Looking forward to our next eating session.

Chinese Birthday of Tita Josie

We celebrated today the Chinese birthday of Tita Josie.

She has two birthdays, the other one is in November, her Filipino birthday!

Hmmmmm I think that trumps Happy Birthday Everyday!

She invited us for lunch at Peking Garden.

I was looking forward to this day! I was on a diet holiday!

Peking Duck

Served one way! We were only 5 but Tita Mita does not eat duck.

So if my math is correct, 1 whole duck for the four of us!

PD and I could polish a whole duck just by ourselves!

Since Tita Mita does not eat duck, Tita Josie ordered her favorite shrimps! We told her she could eat our share!

We also had the Steamed Lapu Lapu.

Lotus Roots with mushrooms.

Fried Rice

I was not able to take a picture of the Spinach soup.

Dessert was fried buns with bean paste filling.

As usual, I was a happy camper! I wore an eating dress so I won't have any waistline circulation problem.

I am so glad that we were able to celebrate another year with Tita Josie.

I hope and pray that God gives her more birthdays to come!

Cheers! To health, happiness and friendship! A beautiful collage done by Tita Tess.

Happy birthday, Tita Josie!

Ooma

On a stormy Monday afternoon, EDSA was practically empty!

FGM and I went to Megamall! It was our chance because there was no traffic.

We checked out the dining places and there was almost no line at Ooma!

Usually, you have to be there by 11 or else you have to wait for a long time.

We had the Scallop and Tuna Maki.

You have to use the brush to put soysauce on the maki.

Gyoza with Mozarella Cheese

Tempura with Aligue Mayo and Wasabi Mayo

Beef Chahan.

I loved everything we ate!

It was just enough for a "light" afternoon meal!

I would go back again and try the other dishes!

One thing I noticed was that after our meal I felt so sleepy!

When I got home, I slept from 4:30 up to 6:30!

It could not have been because I was so full. Hmmmm.... I wonder why?!?!

Ooma is definitely worth a second visit!
