Green Baby Pak Choy (Chinese Cabbage)

This vegetable was not so common in the Philippines.  It's so happened that when I went to divisoria with my sister, we passed by a vegetable stand and we saw this green leafy vegetable and because we worked  in Hongkong we really missed eating this. To cooked it is so easy, just boil or saute in garlic with steam fish as another main course you will really have a very satisfying meal. According to the vendor, it grows in Baguio. How I wish someday,  there will be more production of this vegetable in all the markets.

Green Baby Pak Choy is one of the most popular vegetables grown and sold in the supermarkets on the West Coast and Orient. This vegetable is also called Shanghai Bok Choy, Ching-Chiang Choy or Ching-Kang Choy in Asia. This fast-growing vegetable has tender green leaves and crispy green petioles. Green Baby Bok Choy has become the most used vegetables in various Oriental dishes due to its excellent flavor, texture and size. There are many varieties developed recently to meet the increasing demands for home garden and commercial crops.

What's your Holiday Foods?

Do you have now a list on what to cook in Christmas Eve? Well as for me, none yet hehehe... Because this is our first time to have our christmas in our love nest, Hubby wanted to make it extra special.. I had already in my mind like carbonara (of course, most requested by Hubby), something grilled and our dessert it's either cake or fruit salad. Well, I still have 2 days to browsed the net and get some ideas of delicious holiday foods. Of course, I will not cooked to much because it's just the two of us and another thing we didn't have a fridge yet. Here are some of the great recipes from thepioneerwoman.com. I like this site because the ingredients were easy to find and they have the step by step procedure.

                                Fettuccine Alfredo: I think I will have some revision of my carbonara,

                                using this recipe.

                               Hot and Sweet Drumsticks: Hubby and Me like chicken and with this

                                Tres Leches Cake: I don't want to buy cake in goldilocks neither red

                                ribbon, with this cake.. Well, in full force I will show up my baking ability.

Sashimi

I'm still here!!! I missed joining this meme...hehehe... There were lots of food queue at my cam and as long as I wanted to share it all at once,  but my time table didn't permit hehehe... Anyway, my hubby celebrated his post birthday celebration and his bandmates decided to have it at the bar. It's just a simple, relaxing, small bar along the highway at Canlalay, Biñan Laguna and this was their favorite pulutan because they were able to ordered five oozing platters of it... I'm not into raw fish and I can't take the taste of wasabi. But to satisfy my curiosity I tasted a little bit of that fresh tuna and guess what ???? It brought me stomach ache.

Tuna Carbonara with Bacon Bits

This was requested by my hubby last sunday since we just stayed at home to watched the Pacquiao-Cotto fight ( Hooray to the Pambansang Kamao, he did it again and got his seventh title. He's really the Pound for Pound King) Back to our topic, this was my second time to cook this kind of pasta. The first time was when my best friends visited me in my love nest. I really planned to cooked spaghetti for them ,but because of various occasions, my family always cooked spaghetti and I was fed up with the taste. Accidentally, I was able to watched a cooking show and got the idea.  I found the ingredients very easy and affordable. At first I was hesitant to cook but I believed in my cooking ability so go...go...go....

Unlike in my first carbonara, this time I didn't use chicken, instead I replaced it with bacon as my toppings. Of course, my carbonara was a bestseller according to my family LOL!!! Happy weekend everyone!!!

My younger sister borrowed my digicam for they have a seminar in Baguio. When she returned it and have a looked in her shots I found this sizzle pork. I'm not sure if this is porkchop or a beef. But one thing is for sure, it's really taste good and the meat looks so tender, with that yellow rice (i didn't know what they called it LOL) it will really satisfied your tastebuds. Happy weekend everyone!!!
