Food Lab: Something New

Life is a journey of continuous exploration. A little spice breaks the monotony, the boredom.

So is with my cooking. It's fun to try something new once in a while.

Go Pinoy: Daing na Bangus & Kare-Kare

First time to try daing, it was quite ok.

For kare-kare, you can do away with some instant mix (no need to reinvent the wheel). It doesnt look appetizing though (kare-kare always look a bit yucky right)




Pica-Pica: Tempura and Fish , Pan-fried Dumplings

My first successful attempt of tempura! Prawns are not big enough though.

Fried Fish fillet is so-so.

My version of pan-friend dumplings (kwo-tie).

Chicken Galore: Grilled Chicken & Chicken Pandan

Got this grill idea from a hausmate: thyme, basil, pepper, wine, etc - my version of andok's :p.

And lastly, my trying-hard attempt to make chicken pandan. Tastes like the grilled chicken haha, someone should be supplying me more spices.

P.S. I am not really a big fan of frying. Not because of avoiding oily food, rather I dont like washing so many messy oily pots and pans! See what happens to my hands after each 'session' :(. I always have to go for a lotion overload right after! I need a dishwasher.

P.P.S. This is the only cooking pose that I have. Taken 2 years ago in a potluck party, sole evidence that I can cook.. and fortunately, food is edible. :)
