[Indian Food] NAMASTE~! :) I went to an indian restaurant near UNP!

Namaste~! ALL IS WELL!

Does this sound familiar to you? Namaste is "Hi" in Indian language. Why i know this? cuz i went to an indian restaurant last weekend!! 

My friend and i went to have some indian food in the restaurant located along the street in front of UNP. Since nobody wanted to challenge tasting indian food with me, i had to call my good friend for my treat. All we knew about indian food was that there are many kinds of spicies and most of the dishes are spicy and have strong smell of herbs and spicies that we somtimes smell from the indians i guess (?) 

Unlike we expected, when we entered the restaurant, we didn't smell much the strong indian food indredients, and we were kinda relieved for that.  I was actually a little bit worried that i might not even be able to stay to think of my order.

Anyway as we had no knowledge of indian food, we asked the indian owner to recommend us the restaurant's specialties. I even asked for a non-spicy dish, but unfortunately every indian dish is spicy he said. 

THESE ARE WHAT WE ORDERED AND WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE OWNER

This is Chicken curry. It was real good. My friend who doesnt like spicy food even liked this.  But the crushed mint leaves were a little annoying cuz personally i hate mint.

This is ROTI, a thin bread that is a staple foold of indians as well as rice.

As we were told by the owner, we dipped the piece of bread into the curry. It was very delicious.

This is SAMOSA. It is like indian style of dumpling or empanada. It was salty to me. i think the filling is made up of green beens, sweet potatos, etc.

This is DOSA. It visually resembles the french desert, CREPE. But Its taste is exactly opposite of crepe. The indian owner recommended this dish to us, saying that this is the only non-spicy dish in his restaurant and it is sweet. Do you see the red sauce covering entire side of that thin bread? It's catchup. And the yellow cubes inside are chunks of sweet potatos.Can you imagnine the taste of sweet potato with catchup? Haaaaaaay...... This was the only dish we couldnt finish. It is not something i want to try to taste ever again in my life. Such a weird combination of ingredients....

Well... Generally the food was good and i liked the spicinessof all dishes.

[Korean Food] Today I am the chef ! of course in my kitchen.....

Hi !

two days ago i cooked dinner at home. It's been a while using my kitchen to cook for myself. I couldnt even remember when was the last time i ate in my home cuz i usually eat dinner outside. 

In puregold i bought beef tenderloin, radish, garlic and green onion. and I cooked 

SOGOKI MUGUK, beef and radish soup.

Here i brought my very own style of recipe of this soup. I won't give you any exactly needed amount of ingredients cuz i dont even know. Just trust your togue and your pinch.

First,

Peel the skin of the radish.

Slice it in any manner. thiner and smaller cut, shorter time of cooking !

Slice the green onions in any manner too.

Chop chop the garlics. You may have half or one spoon of chopped garlic.

It is a lot easier if you think you are chopping the face of sombody you've alwasy wished to chop :P

cut the beef tenderloin into small cubes about a finger joint size.

Chop Chop everything you need to while boiling water in a pot

Put all the slices of the radish into a pot and boil till they are half cooked.

When the radish slices are half cooked, put the rest ingredients into the pot except the chopped garlic, and then boil till the meet is completely cooked.

Lastly, add the chopped garlic and boil around 2-3 minutes more. And Get some soup in a bowl and serve. If you want little bit spicy soup, you may add some chilli powder in this step with the garlic.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? EASY AND SIMPLE RECIPE? OR YOU CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HECK IM SAYING AND COOKING HERE? WELL... TRY THIS RECIPE TODAY, THEN YOU'LL FIND OUT.

[Filipino Food] My favorite plce in Vigan, Marshas!

Hi !

ever since the 1st visit to Marshas, it has bem my favourite spot i'd like to go whenever i wanna have a cup of tee or coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner, marienda, and their special deserts at any time as it is open 24 hours. The food is absolutely delicious, cheap, and the service of crews is worth to leave much tips. The best thing about this restaurant is that it's open for 24 hours and you can order breakfast menu at any time even in the evening. 

Anybody living in vigan would know the great history of the start of Marsha. The business started in the small house of the owner baking brownies and some Filipino traditional deserts. The food delicacy of Marshas was spreaded through word of mouth and the business grew fast into a restaurant and then into the big rest stop, and few months ago the owner opened a hotel named vittoria hotel right beside her rest stop.

Amazing story huh?


Anywayyyyy,

I can't remember this dish's name... But it is one of my favorite. The combination of creamy coconut milk and juice coming out of the shrimp is sooooooo good. 

This is bicol express. my another favorite. When i order this i always ask them to add lots of chillis. Yummyyyyy!! 

They were so good as always.

[Korean Food] Celebrating for the pass of our college thesis defense in Hanguk restaurant!

Hi !

I know it's too late, but let's see what i ate during the celebration of finishing thesis defense in Hanguk restaurant with my thesis group mates!

This is second post about Hanguk restaurant. In the last post, though i said i wasn't satisfied with the dishes there and they didnt seem authentic at all to me, the reason why i chose this restaurant for our celebration is simply that my thesis mates said they've never tasted any korean food yet except for the terrible dishes i cooked for them with lacking ingredients.

I think the restaurant owner has more eager to sell more dishes more expensively to customers in the name of K-Pop and K-stars than to serve more authentic and delicious dishes to them. Too expensive and too disappointing. Anyway my friends didnt know the taste of the original dishes so they seemed enjoy themselves eating the strange foreign food. (I was a little bit afraid of having them disappointed of my country's food so...)

Anyway,

This is Dakgalbi. Bonless chicken meet marinated in sweet and salty sauce. When you order this dish, they serve it grill it and chop it into a bite size in front of you and tell you when it is ready. The white flat round thing is an onion slice and above it there are thin garlic slices. They are always served with meet dishes in Korea.

This is Daegigalbi. It is supposed to be pork ribs marinated in sweet sauce, but they used a different part of pork. Too much fat and too little pure meet.

[Filipino Food] Happy Moment in Greenwich!

Hi !

Last Wednesday My classmates and I had our graduation pictures taken finally. 

Then we had dinner together in greenwich. We were so starving that it would have been delicious whatever we've eaten. 

By the way i was surprised that some of my friends didn't know Greenwich is Philippine brand fast food franchise because to me it was very obvious as you can't find any fast food restaurants that serve pasta with only two kinds of sauce, pizza, and one piece of deep fried chicken with rice in other countries. Honestly the combination of Italian dishes and chicken with rices on the menu, and spaghettie with very sweet tomato sauce with hotdog slices seem very strange to foreigners. 

ANYWAY for some Filipinos who may not know Greenwich is Philippines',

Greenwich Pizza is a pizza and pasta chain in the Philippines. It started as an over-the-counter pizza store in the Greenhills Shopping Center in Metro Manila in 1971.

I was too hungry to wait for others' orders to be served so i took a bite when mine was served. This is Hawiian overload ( tini tiny size hawiian pizza, two pieces of deep fried chicken wings, and snack size lasagña). 

The pizza and fried chicken wings were not bad, but not really tasty. Lasagña in Greenwich is definitely my favorite, though i always wish the cheese topping will be a mozzarella cheese. stretching the cheese in a pizza or pasta or any kind of a dish is my forever pleasure.
