We had great father’s day weekend with my In laws:-) We had steak and yummy side dishes! We wanted to have a special dinner for my Dad In law and family before they’ll leave for their Hawaii vacation tomorrow! Zach prepared the steaks (he made 2 sauces, Bernaise and blue cheese both Ina Garten recipe) while I took care of the side dishes while my mom in law did dessert:). Happy Father’s day to all of the special father’s out there! Thinking of my dad and brother in PI too! I miss them, but we’ll be seeing them soon. I’m so excited:)

This post is sooooooo late, as I’ve mentioned before I had issues with wordpress but hubby “fixed” it already (thanks Ga!). We invited some of our friends and my inlaws to have burgers and games at home. Such a fun day with family and friends and of course yummy burgers! Zach made “cuban” burgers and to my surprise they were delicious! hehe, makes me laugh! Cuban burger during memorial day…I just wanted a plain american cheeseburger. Hubby can be very adventurous but sometimes at the wrong time. Enjoy the pics:)

This resto is only 10 minutes away from our place! I think we’re lucky that a lot of good restos are just couple of minutes away from us, so whenever we are craving for yummy food we don’t have to go to Seattle or Bellevue just to eat delicious food:). I got a 20$ off coupon from Flat Iron grill in the mail last week and suggested to hubby that we put it to use! After dinner we went to Barnes and Noble, where I found the latest book of hubby’s favorite all time series, “The Wheel of Time, Towers of Midnight – Book 12 of 13”, then we watched the movie Bridesmaid! Love date nights with my hubby!

Tom Douglas’ pizza place “serious pie” is the BOMB! This is my 2nd time to dine in their small and intimate place but it’s always a treat! The pizzas are quite pricey but it’s so worth it:-) We ate so much that we decided to walk around pike place just to “burn” the calories!LOL..

Pork Adobo has got to be the most popular dish in PI. My sister, Cynthia, makes the yummiest adobo if you’re gonna ask me (I’m not that biased you know!). Anyways, I got the pork belly in the Asian market and I know they’re just perfect for adobo. I got the recipe from the food network. I fried the pork belly first because that’s how I want my adobo done. I pan fried, braised, fried it again! It needs patience but I really think it’s worth it. There’s something about the super tender but crispy pork belly adobo, comfort food:)
brown the meat first!not a big fan of frying because of oil all over the stove!see yah after 3 hours!laroosa chef!🙂🙂rice pleaseeeeeeeeeee!crazy good..
Here’s the recipe! If you check food network it’s “Filipino chicken adobo” and instead of chicken I used pork belly.
Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Cover and marinate pork for 1-3 hours. Bring to boil, then lower heat. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and simmer until sauce is reduced and thickened, and pork is tender, about 20 more minutes. Serve with steamed rice.
Hi! I’m back here once again after 3 weeks or more of not blogging. I had a little issue with WordPress in downloading pics and only my computer genius of a hubby can fix it, yet with his schedule lately I gotta wait for all my blogs! Most of my blogs will be from last months food adventures:-)
🙂"stop taking pics"fave [email protected] short ribs slider!fish tacosme me me!anything with rice!
I got this recipe from my new food network book, and this was really easy to make, just perfect for busy night at home. My husband likes Indian food and I don’t. The 2 dishes that I only really eat whenever we go out and eat at an Indian place are chicken tandoori and chicken tika masala. So when I got the book I really wanted to try this for my Indian food loving hubby and we really liked the result. We’ll definitely make this again!

Tortang talong or Eggplant omelette is a popular dish in PI. Growing up I remember they are always in our school cafeteria. I think it’s cheap yet delicious. It’s so easy to make but one needs patience to prepare this dish. You need to roast, peel, fry the eggplant! Last week we went to the asian market here in WA so I saw these eggplants and the only way I have eggplant is if it is prepared this way (I’m not picky eater, promise!). The grilling part is not my fave, but this is a very important part of the cooking process, after that stage it’s like you’re almost done:)
Roast/grill eggplants! Think like you're roasting red peppers..
It was kinda raining outside so I had to do it inside! HA! even if it’s not raining I’d rather grill it this way, easy to “control” the eggplant and I can adjust the heat:)
after grilling, told you just like peppers!skin/peel eggplants..flatten the eggplant using a fork!
