Paksiw na Matambaka. I realised that all these time I do not have a post about matambaka. It is odd because matambaka is one of the more popular Pinoy fish, besides being abundant locally. Matambaka is similar in size and shape with alumahan, the notable difference is the big size eyes of matambaka, that is why it is called matambaka, literally similar eyes to the cow or ox eyes if you follow

Grilled Blue Marlin Steak, Inihaw na Malasugi
Posted on 10:03 PM by Christian Pilkerton
Grilled Blue Marlin Steak, Inihaw na Malasugi. I love grilled fish, grilling fish using heat plates is convenient. Just heat the plates in your stove it doesn’t matter if it is an electric or gas stove. The best about grill plates is you can grill indoors. I would suggest to set your overhead stove exhaust to maximum settings and open all your kitchen windows. As I have mentioned I

Pork Adobo with Olives. You may have heard thee adobo with olive oil. There was a talk that apparently adobo with olive oil was served to peoples that are on the streets during the EDSA Revolution.

Halabos na Hipon sa Sprite with Lemon. This Halabos recipe was inspire by a similar dish that I have cooked a couple of years back called Halabos na Hipon sa Royal Tru-Orange. My Halabos na Hipon sa Sprite with Lemon is cooked with sprite instead of Royal Tru-Orange. Yes most Halabos are cooked with either Sprite or 7-Up, now what is so especial about the dish? As I mentioned my Halabos na
Igado with Isaw
Posted on 7:58 PM by Christian Pilkerton
Igado with Isaw. On all my Igado recipes I had never used isaw. The truth is I grow up with Igado that is made up of lean pork and liver with some chick peas only. Occasionally when if pork heart and kidney are also added if available. All the while I thought that Igado was always cooked the way I know it since there was no other Igado recipe available in the internet when I first shared my

Kalderetang Kambing with Peanut Butter
Posted on 7:58 PM by Christian Pilkerton
Kalderetang Kambing with Peanut Butter. There are countless ways to cook kaldereta. Today I would like to share my Kalderetang Kambing with Peanut Butter. This recipe is a kalderata dish cooked from scratch, no kaldereta mix. Kambing or goat meat is a sweet meat, it has a gamey taste especially if it is not prepared cooked properly. But once cooked properly you would not even know

Lechon sa Oven Inasal Style. I was looking for an alternative stuffing of my next Lechon sa Oven. I thought this time I use a stuffing similar to Chicken Inasal. Now let me share my latest innovative Lechon sa Oven Inasal Style.

Laswa with Pasayan
Posted on 7:58 PM by Christian Pilkerton
Laswa with Pasayan. Laswa provably is my next favourite vegetable dish after Pakbet or PinakbetIlocano. Every time we ate at fast food centers, Laswa if available will for sure be the choice of our vegetable soup dish. With my recent travel to Bacolod, we had a change to eat on the company canteen of our host company. Lo and behold to my delight, on their turo-turo-choice is an authentic
Pinamalhan nga Bangus
Posted on 7:58 PM by Christian Pilkerton
Pinamalhan nga Bangus. Paksiw Ilonggo style or Pinamalhan nga Bangus is one of the Ilongo dish that I did tried during my recent visit to Bacolod. Pinamalhan nga Isda is similar to Paksiw na Isda, I would say the only difference is that in addition to the usual ingredients of Paksiw na Isda, soy sauce is also used in Pinamalhan nga Isda. Of course there are countless versions of Pinamalhan

The Mahogany Market in Tagatay is a market haven of local root crops, fruits and other Ginataang Halo Halo ingredients. Just recently I have

Betty’s Special Native Cakes. I am a fan of Kakanin, I do occasionally buy Kakanin at Public Markets whenever I do my “pamamalenke”. The best and the cheapest Kakanin and other Native Delicacies are found in Public Markets. Ok what is the connection of “Palenke Kakanin” on our post for today? Nothing, it is just to make a point of my love of Kakanin. I have been constantly on the lookout for

Nilagang Bulalo. What is in a name, Nilagang Bulalo or Bulalo? They are both the same in terms of cooking. Bulalo in Pilipino as per my search is kneecap, does it make sense? I think most of us would have thought that Bulalo is Beef Shank of Cow or Carabao shank should you want to be more specific. Now what are Nilangang Bulalo and Bulalo. The answers are straight forward. Nilangang Bulalo
