Food Lab: Episode 1

Welcome to the official launch of my Food Lab Corner!

--IMPT--
Disclaimer (agad):
Okay, I know how to cook a few simple dishes, pero hindi ako magaling ha! 'Marunong' is far from 'magaling', at least in my vocabulary. :p Just to set the correct expectations :). I'm just a beginner tinkering with my 'food lab' during my free time. Edible naman mga naluto ko (sabi ng mga nakatikim), but not yet 'qualified' as masarap in my standards. :) But one day, I'm gonna make it big! haha

Here's some of the first few tries:

Ma Po Tofu - one of the easiest to prepare. I can make one in 5 minutes, provided that I have the mixes. (pandaya) :)





Omelette - the nicest omelette I've ever made. Presentable naman dba?




I sometimes get challenged with not so common dishes:

Sweet & Sour Fish - goodness, I didnt know that I bought the fish with all the innards still intact, meaning not yet cleaned. For the first time I took out all those gills, scales and laman-loob and my hands got stained with the smell.. yeeks. :) Btw image attached is the uncooked version. Mom has to see this, I'm sure she'll be proud of me afterwards. :)




Another challenge: Chicken Feet

It gives me a weird feeling while cutting the feet into two. I can feel the finger-like bones splitting into 2 with my knife, like the fingers of a child. Sheesh, I'm afraid to have nightmares at night with the chicken ghost running after me. Ayoko na atang ulitin. I'm again proud to say na malambot naman yun end product (w/c by
the way mahirap palambutin ang chicken feet) :p




Normal Dish:

Fried Chicken...(nothing unusual to describe.. speechless)





Adobo - normal lang din.





Sopas - shredding chicken strips takes time, but overall, color's quite good.
