Dress up your meal or ‘baon’ by going bento

March 12, 2008 ·

This being exam week, I decided to motivate my kids to do well by making their 'baon' (brown bag meal) a little more special. And when I think of something more special than the usual pack of Oreos and peanut butter sandwich, all I can think about is a bento. It's something I've wanted to do as a project anyway. In Japan, mothers pride themselves in making artistic bento meals for their kids. I like the fact that preparing a bento can be a good venue for creative expression as you plan the colors, textures and shapes that should go into the box. There is also room to ...

The Day-Off Chef: ‘Pata Bihon’

June 2, 2007 ·

my pata bihon For this month's edition of Lasang Pinoy hosted by the fabulous Toni with a focus on vegetables, I would have wanted to feature those favorite dishes of mine cooked with coconut milk. Problem is, cooking with coconut milk remains my waterloo. Somehow, I can't seem to perfect the recipe for guinataang langka or guinataang sitaw at kalabasa - all yummy with native fish, fried to a crunchy perfection. Between these and a gourmet meal, I'd take home-cooked/ carinderia mush anytime. The dish I cooked won't qualify as a veggie dish since its star ... Continue Reading...

The Day-Off Chef: Cooking with Smoked Salmon

May 14, 2006 ·

Salmonfest Happy Mother's Day :) I would like to thank all my friends for the greetings.Please share in this blog feast as I make this post on one of my all-time favorites - smoked salmon. High school buddy Anna Lyn had sent me a few pounds all the way from Norway. I remember meeting her dear mom in faraway Las Pinas just to get this precious commodity. Opening the whole package at home, I took my first bite and it so excited my palate that I had to open my long-stocked bottle of white wine to complete the experience. ... Continue Reading...

The Day-Off Chef: Chinese Food for the Weekend

March 14, 2006 ·

Weekend Originally uploaded by annalyn. Two things that made the past weekend fabulous for me: I was able to get off my lazy butt and cook some Chinese food (or perhaps, a poor imitation of it) and have a date with my son at the mall. Certainly a pleasant diversion from my work-write/blog-sleep routine. ... Continue Reading...

The Day-Off Chef: Sukiyaki Con Pinoy (updated)

February 8, 2006 ·

Sukiyaki Daaaarn...with the 12% EVAT, dining out seems more of a pain than the joy it used to be. So if you tell me that there's a new place in town that's worth checking out, I am not gonna relate... unless you're picking up the tab.The one good thing that came out of higher taxes is that we get more motivated to try out new dishes at home in order to spare our wallet the agony, hence the advent of my dish for today, good ol' sukiyaki. ...
