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 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. […]

Posted by Robert Colinares on July 10th, 2013
This dish, Ginisang Pechay, takes me back to memory lane during my young age in the Philippines. I guess the main reason is that I was a picky eater when I was a boy and just like most kids eating vegetables was not my top priority. However, as far as I can remember I didn’t […]
