Adobong "puti"

Simple, flavorful, and straightforward. Adobong Puti These words best describe this dish. Each and every adobo is unique and varies from every household, neighbor, neighborhood, town, city, region... you get it. I guess if there's one thing that our ancestors have passed down to us that is still alive to this day, it's an adobo recipe. Filipinos aren't the only ones who love adobo, but apparently, the whole world is slowly becoming open to it. A quick search on the net about adobo would tell you that the word was derived from the Spanish's adobar , which means "to marinate", and I guess adobo is what keeps places that have been under Spanish occupation connected where the dish has evolved and persisted throughout the generations. Adobo, indeed, has a vast history but so is our tummy! Ingredients : Garlic, amount depends on what your heart desires and what your ancestors whisper in your ear Vinegar, I love how (native) coconut vinegar gives...

Vegan Charlie Chan Pasta

When we say or think pasta, it'll always be the Italian staples - aglio olio, carbonara, even plain ol' spaghetti. This is a special kind of pasta, so special because it's two cultures in one. Asian meets Italian in this wonderful dish - spaghetti prepared like an Asian stir fry, and I love both! When one thinks Asian, one thinks traditional noodles, but not the Charlie Chan. I've come to love it lately and I'm such a fan of this asian-fusion dish from Yellow Cab's menu . It's delicious, savory, and hits me right in that particular spot I have for a good pasta dish. Two things did come cross my mind when I first stumbled on this delicious dish: 1) Who is this Charlie and what's he got to do with the pasta? 2) How do I make and recreate this wonderful dish at home? But perhaps it is a good idea to get to the dish first before knowing who this character is. For ingredients, 500g spaghetti, cooked according to package instr...

Gising-gising, wake your senses

...gastronomic and digestive senses, that is! Gising-gising translates to "wake-up - wake-up" which is quite an interesting name for a dish. First introduced to me, without tasting it, by a close family friend when we were visiting Luzon. He told me that one of the specialties of that restaurant was this dish. When I went home, I quickly Google'd it and what it was about. Gising-gising 2.0 I found out it was a vegetable dish(green beans) with pork(ground) - all cooked in coconut milk. ( Don't worry, it got me at coconut milk too.) I knew, right then and there, I had to try it. Good thing we were close to a supermarket that night. I grabbed the essentials, but thought of other ingredients to either add or substitute and I eventually ended up adding an ingredient or two to the original recipe I searched for. This was the gising-gising recipe I found first in an always go-to blog when searching for Filipino food. I love how simple, easy, and convenient i...
