Lechon Manok on the Menu

I am planning to cook some homemade Lechon Manok (Roasted Chicken) this coming week for my husband. He has been asking me to make the lechon manok I had made for him before because he really love the taste of it. It is actually my version of my Uncle Joe's famous lechon manok back in my home country of Philippines. Check out these delicious lechon manok photo below courtesy of Sr. Jose's Lechon Manok.

Smoked Ribs

My husband and I had awesome dinner last night courtesy of our good friend Xavier who gave us his own version of smoked ribs. Actually, it was his first time to smoked some ribs because his girlfriend Crystal gifted him a brand new smoker for Valentine's Day. Of course, I was really happy because I don't have to cook anything for our supper because dinner is already provided. Take a look at the pic below and tell me what you think? By the way, I am actually excited to get my own smoker pretty soon. I know it would be really perfect for summer cookouts.

San Francisco Wedding Caterer

The last time I had a big event, I decided to make all of the food myself, and I have to say that it was very exhaustive. By the time the food was prepared and the party was beginning, I just wanted to go home and rest. After this happened I told myself that one of these days I am going to have my food catered so that I don’t have to worry about working so long in the kitchen, I can just go to the event and enjoy the food with my guests. If you have had the same situation that I have had, why not look into having your next great event catered?

One of the catering services that I found looked really amazing is called Taste Catering and Event Planning which is located in San Francisco, California. Taste is really amazing because they are the best when it comes to having a Wedding caterer, or for a variety of other events such as corporate meetings, private meetings, and much more. Not only does their food look tasty, it really looks amazing as well. One of the many dishes that appear to be the most appealing to me is the Wok Seared Beef which is marinated with star anise, just by reading the description; I can tell that this is one delicious dish. They also have desserts, of these; I found that the Tres Leches Cake with shaved Pineapple and tropical fruits sounds the most delicious to me since I have eaten Tres Leches Cake before. In any case, I feel that if you want to have good food that looks great as well, why not have your food catered? And if you are looking for San Francisco wedding caterers or other caterers in the San Francisco area, Taste Catering and Event Planning is definitely one of the best places you can go to, you will definitely be glad that you checked them out.

Christmas Dish 2013

I was working on Christmas Eve at my place of work until 3 o'clock in the afternoon and I was worried sick because I thought I won't be able to make food for our Christmas Eve dinner. Thankfully, I was able to do it after resting about an hour or so after I arrived from home and decided to make 3 types of Filipino dish that my husband had requested for me to make. The three dishes that I cooked were Pinoy Style Spaghetti, Bake Stuff Pompano Fish and Special Chicken Caldereta. Take a look at the photos below and I will be posting the recipe later on.

What have you cook for your Christmas dinner? I would love to hear it from you!

Well fortunately, there is a website that will help you find out which sites are best. Many of these websites are known as カジノオンライン in Japanese or simply “online casinos” in English.

Jollibee Oh How I Miss You!

One of the many things I miss about being in the Philippines is not able to dine out at one of my favorite fast food place called Jollibee. I am craving for some Chicken Joy and Jollibee Spaghetti. I would rather have this delicious food in my table if I was ask to choose between McDonald and Jollibee. Also, going to the Jollibee reminded me of those great memories I have with my family as well as bringing my younger siblings every pay period. As a matter of fact, when my then boyfriend and now my husband visited me in the Philippines for the first time in 2004 we went to Jollibee for our first date. Overall, Jollibee became a huge part in our everyday life in the Philippines.
