Paksiw na Bangus

Paksiw is a Filipino style of cooking which means "to cook and simmer in vinegar". I have read somewhere that Paksiw way of cooking or using vinegar was made to preserved foods longer during the old days as people in the rural areas usually don't have refrigerators back then. Cooking food with vinegar reduces the fishy odor and have the least possibility of getting spoiled , that's why if we cook a lot or if we cook something with coconut cream (gata), we usually add a bit of vinegar just so, it won't spoil easily. 


I'll b sharing with you my Paksiw na Bangus Recipe and let me know what you think.

Batchoy Tagalog

It's summertime but it doesn't feel like it,here in our tribe lol.  It rained like crazy these past few days so I indulged with my very own batchoy tagalog to keep me warm. This is actually one of my husband's favorite hungover remedy, I must say one of his favorite pulutan. He always request this when he and my uncles have their inuman session. It really takes a lot of time preparing this dish as it uses pork,liver,innards and intestines. I have to cut and clean the intestines well to removed its foul smell and bitter taste. It takes time and effort but as you see your loved ones saying how good it is, it's quite fulfilling and satisfying.  Batchoy Tagalog is closer in taste with tinola due to its use of ginger and same way of sauteeing it. This dish is really interesting as you also add miswa noodles and pork blood. So this is how I make my own batchoy tagalog at home, give it a try, it is definitely a delicious way to take the chill off cold rainy days

Back side of the package photo from the drama It looks like an ice candy tube or like a skinless meat sausage  How to open: remove the red tape and pull to eat ready to eat What's inside? It's a cheese and it quite taste like the round cheese with red coating we have every New Year's Eve. What it taste like? It tasted like "itlog na maalat" or salted egg but with a hint of a cheesy and a bit sweet flavor. My friends actually did not like it but for me it's okay. The texture is somewhat like a hard jelly ace pudding

Paldo Jjajangmen Black Bean Noodle Review

If you watched a lot of K-dramas/K-Movies there will always be a scene that they eat Black Bean Noodles.As a food enthusiast I was very curious on what it taste like and why it looks so freaking delicious and to my surprise this ones really tasted so good, I'm really into this noodles that I actually hoard total of 12 packs. I have tried a couple of different brands of Black Bean Noodles like Chapagetti a Nongshim brand, Jawang Black Bean Noodles but Paldo's Jjajangmen still my ultimate favorite. I will be reviewing the other black bean noodle brands some other time. Anyways , Paldo's Jjajangmen Black Bean Noodles has the balance taste of saltiness and very little kick of sweetness.Somehow I can compare it to sweet soy sauce or oyster sauce but it has its own distinct flavor , its like toasted bean paste and I really like it. The noodles are the bomb, I think they're perfect (thick and tasty). Okay so now let's see what inside; Back of the package
