Hipon sa Taba ng Talangka (Shrimps in Crab Paste Sauce)
Chef Judy always surprises me with her culinary expertise every time I visit Baguio City. For the past few days, during my stay, her cooking prowess reached to the maximum that I was not able to resist taking some few shots using only my cell phone camera. She prepared her shrimps with crab paste sauce [...]
Kinilaw na Gurayan (Anchovy Sashimi)
I was quite amazed to find out that small fish like gurayan or anchovy are available deboned and clean at the wet market. I did not give a second thought of buying them and prepare them just like mother did before, kinilaw (sashimi-style). So, for the first time here at Ilonggo Living, KINILAW NA GURAYAN.
Menudo (Beef Stew)
When one is busy during the week, Menudo is one of the easiest dish to cook. Have ground beef or pork and, presto, the rest follows. Did I mention, menudo is also, one of the fastest dish to prepare? And considered by some as comfort food Filipino style! Try it!
Ampalaya con Carne at Hipon
It has been a while since I posted ampalaya or bittermelon. This vegetable is very delicious and, when prepared properly, the experience of having ampalaya con karne is very satisfying. Adding shrimps or fresh hipon makes the dish more exciting especially on a Friday. Have a good weekend everyone!
Ginataan nga Tilapia
For the past decade, tilapia has been revived, “crucified”, then revived again! What a pity to this popular fish people love to eat. I, myself, believe that tilapia is good particularly the smaller and darker kind (and fried). Speaking of which tilapia, a fresh water fish can take on any of chef’s whims: paksiw, pinapaputokan, [...]
Ginisang Monggo with Alugbati
Having a healthy vegetable stew beginning of the year is a good start. And why not? After the season’s holiday binge of meat and super caloric carbs, it is just fitting to purge one-selves with vegetables and fruits. Ginisang Monggo (mong beans) loaded with alugbati is a perfect start! Alugbati or vine spinach, just like [...]
Sliced Puto Cuchinta
The festive season still hangs around everywhere. Here in the Philippines, the Christmas celebration extends up to January 6 (three kings). To help celebrate the spirit, I will post another local treat. What’s in my mind is puto cuchinta (kuchinta). Not just the regular round-shaped puto cuchinta but the larger version. Take a look at [...]
Puto Lanson
For the festive season and by popular requests by my regular readers here at ILONGGO LIVING, Puto Lanson here it is. This local delicacy is so popular and, I might say, it is an authentic treat from my beloved city of Iloilo.
Sinigang sa Batwan na Baboy
Sometimes, one runs out of ingredient necessary for a dish (even with careful planning). And thank goodness, a substitute is around to save the day! Sinigang requires souring agent and, the most popular one is sampaloc (green tamarind), followed by green mango, iba, santol and guava (in descending order). Among Ilonggos, another popular one is [...]
Fried Scallops
I was a bit in a quandary as to how I will prepare fresh scallops I bought at the wet market for 15 pesos per “atado”. I got to get used to buying stuff by “atado” at the wet market soon. With that cheap price (2 atado for 30 pesos) equivalent to 73 cents Canadian, [...]
