Smoked Bangus Paté

Several mom blogger friends and I were invited to the SM Hypermarket Super Chefs cooking demo by Caren.

Below was one of the three recipes she demonstrated: Smoked Bangus Paté

Ingredients:

  • medium-sized smoked bangus fillet, flaked and fried in olive oil
  • 1 box of cream cheese
  • half-cup all-purpose cream
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

In a blender, put one piece of medium-sized smoked bangus fillet (minus the head, tail and bones), cream cheese, all-purpose cream, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Pulse until smooth and creamy.

Serve in individual containers with toasted bread or your favorite chips.

To those who have been reading phentermine reviews and want to diet, try substituting light all-purpose cream and light cream cheese. Lessen salt too since the smoked bangus is a bit salty already. Plus use baked chips instead of fried ones.

Nomnomnom!

Mang Inasal

A trio of dips from Mang Inasal: vinegar, chicken oil and soy sauce.

Mang Inasal Trio

Mang Inasal stores are just about anywhere. In the area where we live, there is one nearby but another one is being constructed.

Unlimited rice. For the uninitiated, rice is staple food in the Philippines and is present in almost every meal.(Yes, figure conscious people should have their weight loss pills ready 😀 )

We like eating here because the food being served are “homely” and simple.

The Dona Elena Cuisinera Club Celebrity Cook-off Challenge happened at Annabel’s Restaurant on Tomas Morato in Quezon City yesterday, October 24, 2009.

Two teams competed for the coveted Golden Spoon. Both teams had a chef who instructed the team members what to do.

Crablet in the Clam

I apologize for the uncooked seafood but I could not resist posting this photo of a crablet in the clam. I got a kilo of these halaan for lunch and decided to take photos when I got surprised to see these little creatures. Yep, around half the clams had these crablets inside.

Here are some (soon-to-be) baked mussels and mussels cooked in lemongrass broth which I am sure some of you have already seen.

Have a great week, everyone!

Sago’t Gulaman for TriColore

I was a bit challenged with this one and since I can not find any tricolore food photo in my files that I have cooked/made, I decided to put this hastily-taken photo of a glass of Sago’t Gulaman. Gutom na kasi at that time kaya hastily taken, more like an after-thought, 😀

Sago’t gulaman. One of the Pinoy thirst-quenchers that seems to have taken a back seat because of the influx of sugar-laden soda drinks, tea-based drinks and other drinks called shakes with chemically enhanced flavors. This is perfect for summer, isn’t it? If not, a halo-halo will do just fine 😀

Gotta.have.one.like.this.today ->note to self.

Yeah and not think that I need some weight loss pills to get ready for the beach this summer 😀

Collette Buko Pie

As I looked at the food photos in my files, I decided to choose layered ice cream cake photos from Five Cows Restaurant, venue of the FilipinoMomBlog.com‘s first meet-up/dinner.

I changed my mind though because ice cream cake, though very much appreciated, is not really a Filipino food.

So the quest began until I remembered that I have photos of buko pie from Collette’s which we bought when we went swimming a few weeks ago.

Now I present a slice of buko pie, my entry for Lasang Pinoy Sunday’s Layer Eat Up:

There, layers of crust, custard and young coconut slices.
