Who doesn’t? It’s the time to bond with the family and we get to cook special food at home.

I bought Mother Earth’s sisig yesterday when we did our grocery shopping. They have the best sisig and everyone in our house love it. We had it for lunch today on our sizzling plate. We paired it up with bataw (edible pots) salad. We had coke and ice cream for dessert. Obviously, I was stuffed to the full.

One of our friends commented that I’m gaining weight. I expect that as I’m ageing and metabolism is not as fast as it was before. Besides, I admit that I eat more than ever. I’ve been realizing the need to exercise and hit the gym but I’m too lazy to do those stuff. I think I prefer taking diet pills and watch what I eat.

How was your weekend? Mine was superb! The highlight was our lunch at Dampa MOA yesterday. My SIL and BIL arrived from US and they treated us there. It was so nice to meet them all again after 2 years. The couple really looked good and happy.

We had sinigang na Pampano, Buttered Crabs, Inihaw na Tilapia, Inihaw na Liempo and Tempura. Hahaha! It was quite a feast. I am guilty. I pigged out again. How can your resist such a fare? I can see my cheeks ballooning.

So when I went online this morning, the first thing I did was to look for those top diet pills. I saw a lot it’s just that I’m so scared to try.

What do you enjoy the most when visiting new places? For me, it would be experiencing their culture through their FOOD! hahaha. I usually forget diet and set aside fears and try something I haven’t tried before. We had a 5 days management training last July 13 and I didn’t have much time to roam around and see the place because I was there for business and schedule was a bit hectic. However, I experience the food. Thanks for all the friends who took time to dine with us. I’m sharing all the pictures here:

I know!  I really pigged out and would be needing the best weight loss supplement out there. But then again with all of these good food, how can anyone resist?!

M0rn1ng has just finished cooking our dinner. We’re having his special Chicken BBQ. I’m telling you that it’s one of the best and it tastes even better than Aristocrat’s. My youngest sister is cooking Java Rice, the perfect partner. We’ll be having Coke too.

I’m salivating already. I’m pretty sure that I would be stuffed again to the full. M0rn1ng is always reminding me to mind my eating habits, lest I become a fat woman needing Fastin.

I know but who can resist a hearty meal?

Our bunso had her first paycheck last week and we were so touch that she shared her blessings with us by inviting us to a nice dinner at MOA.

We ate at World Chicken. We saw this opened a few months back and we are so happy as we enjoy this at Glorietta Food Choices. Their food are what we consider comfort food. Lookey!

A platter like this only costs 159 bucks each. Sulit di ba?

Thanks Bunso, nabusog kami. Sa uulitin ha.

After the recognition rites, we headed to Antipolo for our small family celebration. We went to Cloud 9 as it has the best view of the city.

We ordered kare-kare, sisig, crispy pusit and sinigang na hipon. It was so relaxing to eat while looking at the spectacular view. We were stuffed to the full that night. I know I shouldn’t be eating so much at dinner but it can’t be helped. I’ve been gaining weight for the past few months. Maybe my metabolism has begun to slow down. I better watch what i eat, lest i would be needing diet pills soon.

After our dinner we passed by Eastwood, Libis. We wanted to go down and stroll but it was raining so we were content to look at the view inside the car as we pass by.

I always see this resto and it looks enticing to go to. I have the impression that it is a pricey as the interiors look so nice. It was not until Chef Ed Quimson was featured in QTV 11’s Secret of the Masters that I discovered it was otherwise. It was his and Katrina Ponce Enrile’s concept of a “Sosy” Carinderia. He mentioned in the show that it showcases Filipino and Spanish fusion food at a very affordable price. It sounds to interesting so I listed it as one of our “to visit” restaurants.

I got the chance when my best friend and I celebrated our friendship anniversary. It was very near our office and our houses so I figured out that this is the best place to go and eat. When we got there, we discovered that they’re having a paella night. So we got a seafood paella (Paella Cristina @ 180).

I love this as it is very flavorful, you can taste wonderful broth that blended beautifully with the shrimp, chorizo, mussels and other sea foods. Read more…

We had this yesterday and is sure tastes as good as it looks.  Crispy on the outside but moist and flavorful in the inside. 

This is an original Marcella Hazan recipe that appears in her cookbook, More Classic Italian Cooking, tweaked by Margarita Fores with the use of the turbo Broiler.

In our case, we don’t have a turbo broiler so we made use of our very own oven. Works good as well but cooking time is longer. Here’s the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 Whole Chicken, washed well inside and out then dried with paper towels inside and out
1 or 2 lemons, whole
rock salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
trussing needle and string (We don’t have this so we made use of a big needle and ordinary thread.)

1. Pound lemons until slightly bruised and tender.
2. Pierce all over with a toothpick.
3. Season chicken with salt and pepper, inside and out.
4. Stuff chicken with lemons and sew up the cavity well.
5. Roast the chicken breast side up in a turbo broiler at 375 F for 40-45mins.
6. Save all the drippings and remove excess oil for a lighter sauce.
