Fish cakes come in so many versions that you can actually adjust the taste to whichever country you’re from and the result is always mouth-watering satisfaction. I remember growing up in the Philippines, these cakes could be found just about anywhere when the street food vendors were around. Filipinos eat these cakes mostly as snacks […]

Posted by Robert Colinares on August 18th, 2013
Burger Beef Stew is my version of regular Beef Stew. I use ground beef, which has a few benefits over regular stew meat. For one, hamburger doesn’t require cooking a long time for it to be tender, it is easier to cook and handle, and lastly, it’s a bit cheaper than regular stew meat. This version […]

Posted by Robert Colinares on August 11th, 2013
Chicken & Broccoli is another favorite among Filipinos. Although it’s not really a traditional Filipino food, it does share just about every ingredient that is commonly used in the Philippines. With that being said, Filipinos didn’t have any trouble adapting to this wonderful dish. The way I cook this recipe is pretty much the same […]

Posted by Robert Colinares on August 10th, 2013
Pancit Canton is a dish you will often see on just about any special occasion in the Philippines; however if these noodles are not cooked correctly, they can get a distinct soapy taste that most people don’t appreciate. That’s why this dish is often time the second choice of noodle lovers in the Philippines. I played […]

Posted by Robert Colinares on August 10th, 2013
Paksiw is undoubtedly the next best dish to Adobo since the dish is versatile and adaptable much the same as Adobo is. Paksiw is also very popular in the Philippines since it has the longest shelf life of any other dish due to its main ingredient, the vinegar. The most common way of preserving food […]

Posted by Robert Colinares on August 10th, 2013
Ginisang Togue is another dish that is often seen at the dinner table and sidewalk eateries known as Turo-Turo restaurants in the Philippines. I remember when I was a kid, my mom would cook Togue all the time since they’re so easy to find and fresh. It was hard for her not to get some […]

Posted by Robert Colinares on August 4th, 2013
A couple of weeks ago, I was invited by food blogger Joanne Boston, an editor for Project Adobo, to participate and add my recipe for adobo to a collection of those from around the country. Since I love the dish myself, (who wouldn’t) I have gladly accepted the invitation and take pleasure in sharing my […]
Curried Pork Chops
Posted by Robert Colinares on July 20th, 2013
As a food blogger and a home cook, I do browse around a lot on the Internet and see other people’s cooking and recipe ideas. And from time to time, I see pictures of food that looks so good that I want to try and cook it myself. However, when I look at the recipe, I […]

Posted by Robert Colinares on July 20th, 2013
Pinakbet is one of my favorites when it comes to vegetable dishes. It’s a mixture of stir-fried vegetables simmered in a rich flavor of pork, shrimp paste (bagoong alamang), and spices. If you want to taste the full potential of this dish then you need to use the key ingredient, the shrimp paste. It gives […]

Posted by Robert Colinares on July 14th, 2013
Ginataang Alimasag (crab legs in coconut milk) is the one dish that could keep a whole family at the dinner table for a little while. Why do I say that? Well, before you can eat this stuff, you have to crack the legs and the clamps and by doing that it slows the eating process. […]
