What You Think Really Matters

  A yummy bangus (milkfish) dish but too laborious to make but worth it. To be able to make it, you need a lot of patience, a hell lot! To begin with, this is how I made it. First, you need to boil the bangus, remove the flesh from the fish bone, one by one. Doesn't that need patience? I don’t know personally how to extract the inner flesh of the bangus so I asked the seller to do it for  me and that’s free! In other places, they will charge you extra for it. Going back, here’s my ingredients and as usual, most of it is in estimation. Here it is! The Ingredients: Bangus (milkfish, boiled, fish meat removed from the fish bone). I bought 2 kilos. 5 cloves minced garlic 2 pcs finely chopped medium size onion 2 pcs finely chopped carrots A small pack of raisins Pickle relish 4 tomatoes  Small pack of Tomato sauce Ground pork 4 scramble eggs Ground Black pepper Soy sauce Oyster sauce (optional if you have only) ½  cube of chicken cube  Salt Sugar ( Yes, I used it on ...

This is the first time I encountered such an incident where the tilapia I bought though was cleaned in the market there's these residuals I can’t see clearly because I’m not wearing my eyeglass so I get my spec and look at the fish I'm cleaning, omg, pellets! Which was not absorbed yet. Guys, the next time you buy any fish, clean them thoroughly. Going back to my recipe, here are my ingredients. 2 pcs medium size fried tilapia ( Just 2 because I’m the only one eating fish in my family) 2 cloves crushed garlic  1 medium size diced onion (Pricey! As of this writing) 3 pcs medium size diced  tomato (Many, because cheap! Ground black pepper (As usual, in my other recipes, in estimation) Oyster sauce (I love using this instead of soy sauce) 2 pcs egg (beaten directly on pan) Cooking oil Undisclosed amount of water (based on your preference) salt How did I cook? Saute garlic, then, the onion, followed by tomatoes, oyster sauce, and black pepper Add water, then, the fried tilapia Bri...

Cook the elbow macaroni al dente. About 10 minutes. Drain after. Set aside. In a pan, melt the butter, saute garlic until it becomes light brown, follow the onion, tomato sauce, oyster sauce and the corned beef. Add sugar based on your preference, chicken cube ...

Before we restock food in our freezer, we need to consume first our last batch of provisions and find these: packs of sweet corn and carrots, pack of mixed vegetables, sweet ham and chicken breast. In there too, there’s butter so I decided to cook them all into one recipe, sipo eggs and chicken pastel which I named creamy chicken sipo. Creamy because of the all purpose cream. If you love cooking, everything will do if you have garlic and onions. My recipe’s ingredients are in estimation only. No exact measuring. The Ingredients: Undisclosed  amount of chicken breast since this is just left overs 200 grams of Mixed Vegetables (small pack) 200 grams of sweet corn and carrots (small pack) 250 grams sweet ham (small pack) 10 pcs  cooked quail eggs 140 ml evaporated milk (small can) 125 ml all purpose cream (small pouch) Butter 3 cloves crushed garlic 1 pc medium onion Black pepper Salt ½ cup of water How to cook? Put the butter on the pan enough for sauteing Melt the butter a litt...

You maybe be wondering why it is entitled annoyance recipe.  This is because to be able to cook this dish, I get irritated first on the saleslady who assisted me in looking for the ingredients.. This is the story goes. I was in the province before, asked the lady if they have, tausi (salted black beans), she said yes, we have. And I asked again, you have tokwa (tofu)? She then replied again, yes we have. And I asked again for the third time, you have celery? She became irritated now and asked me, what do you really want to buy?! Having been away from the province for years, of course I don't know now if the ingredients of Bangus sa Tausi are available there so I'm asking her. Pissed too, I replied, all of those! I can't blame her anyway 'coz the dish is not a common dish in our province. Going back to the dish, here's how I cooked it. No measurement exactly. All are in estimation. What you need? ⦁ 1 pc 1/2 kilo of bangus (milkfish) ⦁ 2 pcs tokwa (tofu) ( depends...
