Five Spice Pork Noodles

03.29.2012 by Leah //

Got this recipe from the July 2011 issue of Yummy Magazine.   This particular issue was such a gem - I'm able to try 3 recipes already, all from this same magazine!     This one is my 4th, and I used my Saladmaster gourmet pan to make this (although the Wok Pan would be perfect for this). It's my first time to prepare an egg noodle dish and am glad this one's fairly easy to ... READ MORE

Steamed Fish Dory

03.26.2012 by Leah //

We couldn't wait to use our Saladmaster cookware so AJ and I stopped at the grocery yesterday to buy the ingredients for our dinner that night.    We liked the steamed fish dory that we sampled at the Saladmaster dinner we booked for my godmother/aunt the night before, so we decided to make that. This no-fuss recipe is so easy to do and I calculated the cooking time to be ... READ MORE

Chicken and Chinese Chorizo Stew

12.15.2011 by Leah //

From the July 2011 Yummy magazine, here's another recipe that's so easy to prepare and yet so tasty, you wouldn't think the ingredients are plain and very few.  What's left from this dish we put in the fridge and after a week the flavors just became better! For this recipe, you will only need: 1 tablespoon cooking oil 2 to 3 pieces chorizo Macau, sliced 3 cloves ... READ MORE

Chicken and Asparagus Farfalle (from Appetite Magazine)

11.21.2011 by Leah //

I'm not ashamed to admit that I can't cook without the guidance of a recipe.   I'm still not ready to try dishes that I could call my own, much less prepare one that is based on stock knowledge haha! So I am really happy to discover food magazines that provides easy meals to follow.   I enjoyed preparing the Banana Chocnut Trifle last time so my excitement doubled when I ... READ MORE

Banana Chocnut Trifle (from Yummy Magazine)

11.14.2011 by Leah //

Thanks to Yummy Magazine, I was able to make my first dessert last Saturday!   And it was a success! The recipe is called Banana Chocnut Trifle and it's from the July 2011 issue of Yummy Magazine (bought on sale): For this simple recipe, you will need:   4 bananas (cut into 1/4-inch thick slices),  8 large Chocnut (broken into pieces), 3 thick slices pound cake or any ...

Chicken Salpicao

08.31.2011 by Leah //

This recipe is so easy to do, I challenged AJ that I'm going to do it.  Yes, me.   It's the first meal I'm going to put together so I really studied the recipe like I would on an office document hehe. I used the recipe I found from Kiko's Kitchen (thank god for food blogs!), except that we weren't able to put in button mushrooms because we forgot to get one at the grocery.  ... READ MORE

AJ’s “San Mig” Beer Batter Fish Fillet

08.10.2011 by Leah //

A box-office hit at yesterday's dinner:  AJ's "San Mig" Beer Batter Fish Fillet. We're supposed to have this last week pa but we always forget to thaw the fish dory we bought at the supermarket.   AJ was finally able to make these yesterday. I asked him to write down the recipe for this blog, and he wrote not just a recipe but a complete procedure's manual ... READ MORE

Our own-style Breaded Pork Fillet

07.03.2011 by Leah //

Our lunch today was very easy to prepare and cook.   It's the ol' classic breaded pork (we used the butterfly-cut pork, instead of porkchops) which we just seasoned in salt and pepper, then coated with flour (seasoned with salt and basil leaves), battered egg and bread crumbs. Here's our pork fillet being fried (by me, yehey!): I feel much comfortable frying meat ... READ MORE
