As soon as I woke up this morning, I immediately went to the kitchen to cook Laing. Laing is a Bicolano spicy dish made of dried taro leaves that cooked in coconut milk. I remember when I first tried cooking this dish, a dear friend who tasted it told me that it was the best…
Main Course
Bicol Express
I still have a lot of leftovers from last week’s cook so I decided to just cook one dish today. That dish is Bicol Express. It’s basically spicy pork cooked in coconut milk & cream. The reason why this dish is famous in the Philippines is because of its yummy spicy taste. However, I need to…
Pinoy Spaghetti
The Filipino-style spaghetti or Pinoy Spaghetti is a dish I consider my specialty. I cooked it a lot of times already and it has always been successful (according to the tasters, hehe!). I felt it was good too so I’m quite confident if I cook this dish. So today, I’m sharing with you the recipe of this…
Bagis
I needed another dish for my food this week and I decided to cook up Bagis. Bagis is ground beef cooked in calamansi (Philippine lime). I’m trying to plan my dishes wherein I can eat it up since I’m having a hard time eating due to my dental braces. It’s very easy to cook this dish…
Chicken Adobo
I have a rule in the kitchen that I do only keep ingredients in the fridge that I intend to use for the week. So as I was trying to do a cleanup of my fridge, I saw that there are still a lot more chicken thighs. Thus, today, I decided to cook two different…
Pork Giniling
I just had my braces 2 weeks ago and I’m in so much pain. For the past two weeks, all I had was soup, congee and water. I’ve been really weak and started to easily get irritated. Most of all, I miss eating food. I needed to do something about it so I decided to…
Binagoongang Baboy
I love food with shrimp paste. But I’m a little bit picky with the brand of shrimp paste that I eat. My only choice is the Barrio Fiesta brand. Which is why I’ve cooked the Binagoongang Baboy recipe I’m sharing with you now using the product. I love a little seafood-y taste on my pork. 😉 Usually,…
Pork Adobo
I missed cooking! I said to myself that I will try to cook at least once a week. For today, I’m sharing here what people usually call the national dish of the Philippines, the Pork Adobo. It’s funny that in one of the episodes of My Kitchen Rules Australia that is airing now, one of the…
Cake Decorating with Chef Penk Ching at the Maya Kitchen
Last July 30, I attended the cooking & baking demo of popular cake Chef Penk Ching. It was truly an honour seeing her showcase her talent in cake decorating. I actually thought that Chef Penk Ching will only demo cake decorating at the Maya Kitchen. However, I was pleasantly surprised that she also showed us…
Cake Decorating with Chef Penk Ching
If I remember correctly, all the Culinary Elite Series I have attended at the Maya Kitchen were mostly related to cooking savoury dishes. It’s just exciting that this saturday, there is a session focusing on cake decorating. This time, the featured chef is Chef Penk Ching!
