Dear God,

Thankful and blessed today. I woke up early with the help of my alarms. I prepared myself for 25 hours duty. I drank my vitamins. I drank fresh milk. I also reheat the loaf bread for Mama and Papa. Thanks to Kuya Dexter who fetch me to where we stay. I arrived at Saif’s house safety. I cared and monitored my patient. I scrolled mg social media accounts, chatted my family and friends. I did inventory. Ate Carme gave me dates. 1 hour duty ended and I transferred to Hamda’s house safely. I cared and monitored my patient with the help of Fatima and with you Oh God. I ate two korean garlic cheese bread for my breakfast. I played cooking fever. I watched random videos. I ate piatos blue while watching. I ate fried fish with rice for lunch. I am so happy that Mama and Papa explored Al ain mall just the two of them. I read few pages of the Bible. I ate guava dip in a bagoong. I played cooking fever again. I will drink my medicines. Have mercy on us Oh God. Guide us always to the right path. Remove sickness, danger and negative things in our life. Answer our prayers in your perfect time. Thank you and I love you God.

ginger sauce

I wish I had a notebook with a hardbound cover. I'd write letters and take advice from great poets. I'd write about my long and dull days. I'd write as if it's my first time doing things I've done a thousand times. I'd write down recipes I know from heart even though I never measured anything while cooking. I always tell myself that everything has been written and none of my thoughts/experiences are original but maybe I was wrong.

anyway, here's a recipe of my ginger sauce for chicken/fish/dumplings:

ingredients:

1 big ginger (grated)

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp fresh garlic (grated) or 1tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp msg/knorr seasoning/magic sarap

1/3 cup canola oil

prep:

grate ginger and put in a glass/metallic bowl

put all spices listed above in the bowl together with the ginger

heat canola oil in low/med fire in a pan/pot until it's smoking but don't burn it lol

turn the heat off then pour the oil over the ginger/spices mixture

mix well

best served with steamed chicken or steamed/fried fish. also a good addition to chili sauce when eating dumplings.

I made dinner tonight and we ate steamed okra, eggplant, kangkong, and fried fish. I ate it with the ginger sauce and bagoong. I also tried bagoong na padas but I didn't like it. I am proud of myself for eating just two tablespoons of rice. I can feel my tummy growing and my bones disappearing from touch again.

7 DAYS, 21 MEALS: A DETAILED LOOK AT MY WEEKLY EATING HABITS

Hi there! As a Filipino, I take pride in our rich and diverse cuisine. With a blend of Spanish, Chinese, and indigenous influences, Filipino food offers a unique and flavorful experience that is truly one-of-a-kind. In this blog post, I'll be sharing a breakdown of what I eat in a week as a Filipino, from Day 1 to Day 7. From classic breakfast dishes like tocino and longganisa to savory stews like adobo and sinigang, Filipino cuisine has something for everyone. So come along as I take you on a culinary journey through my week of meals as a proud Filipino. Here's what my meals usually look like:

Day 1

Breakfast:

We Filipinos love starting our day with a hearty breakfast. One of my favorite breakfast dishes is tocino, a sweet cured pork dish that's usually served with garlic fried rice and a fried egg. Another breakfast favorite is longganisa, a Filipino sausage that's sweet and savory. I usually pair it with sinangag (garlic fried rice) and a sunny-side up egg. And of course, no Filipino breakfast is complete without a hot cup of coffee or tsokolate (Filipino hot chocolate).

Lunch:

For lunch, I like to keep it light but satisfying. One of my go-to meals is adobo, a classic Filipino dish made with chicken or pork and a savory mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and other spices. I usually pair it with steamed rice and some veggies on the side. Another dish I love is sinigang, a sour soup made with tamarind and a variety of meats and vegetables. It's the perfect comfort food on a rainy day.

Dinner:

Dinner is usually the biggest meal of the day for Filipinos. One of my favorite dishes is kare-kare, a peanut-based stew made with oxtail, tripe, and vegetables. It's typically served with bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) on the side for added flavor. Another popular dish is lechon, a whole roasted pig that's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It's usually served during special occasions or fiestas, but you can also find it at restaurants and street vendors.

Day 2

Breakfast: I usually have a hearty breakfast to start my day. One of my go-to meals is a bowl of steaming hot arroz caldo, which is a rice porridge made with chicken, garlic, ginger, and fish sauce. It's a comforting and filling meal that keeps me energized throughout the morning.

Lunch: For lunch, I often bring a packed meal to school. Today, I made adobo flakes, which is a popular dish made with shredded adobo meat sautéed until crispy. I paired it with a side of steamed vegetables and rice. It's a simple and satisfying meal that's easy to prepare in bulk.

Dinner: For dinner, I had sinigang na baboy, which is a sour soup made with pork, tamarind, and vegetables. It's a comforting and flavorful dish that's perfect for cold and rainy nights. I also had a side of steamed rice to balance out the sourness of the soup.

Day 3

Breakfast: I woke up late today, so I had a quick breakfast of pandesal with scrambled eggs. Pandesal is a type of Filipino bread that's soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It's a staple breakfast food in the Philippines, and it's often paired with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

Lunch: For lunch, I had chicken adobo, which is a classic Filipino dish made with chicken marinated in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and bay leaves. I paired it with a side of steamed vegetables and rice. It's a delicious and filling meal that's perfect for a long day at school.

Dinner: For dinner, I had a simple meal of ginisang monggo, which is a savory stew made with mung beans, vegetables, and pork. It's a nutritious and affordable meal that's often served with rice. I also had a side of crispy fried fish to add some variety to my meal.

Day 4

Breakfast: For breakfast today, I had champorado, which is a sweet chocolate rice porridge. It's a popular breakfast food in the Philippines, and it's often paired with tuyo, which is a dried fish. The combination of sweet and salty flavors is a delicious way to start the day.

Lunch: For lunch, I had a simple meal of tinolang manok, which is a chicken soup made with ginger, garlic, and vegetables. It's a light and healthy meal that's perfect for a busy day at school. I also had a side of steamed rice to make the meal more filling.

Dinner: For dinner, I had pork sisig, which is a popular Filipino dish made with chopped pork, onions, and chili peppers. It's a flavorful and spicy dish that's often served with rice and a side of egg. It's a delicious way to end the day.

Day 5

Breakfast: I had a simple breakfast of pandesal with kesong puti, which is a type of Filipino cheese made from carabao milk. It's a light and refreshing meal that's perfect for a warm day.

Snack: For my mid-morning snack, I had turon, which is a popular Filipino dessert made with sliced bananas and jackfruit rolled in spring roll wrappers and deep-fried until crispy.

Lunch: For lunch, I had ginataang kalabasa at sitaw, which is a creamy vegetable stew made with squash, string beans, and coconut milk. It's a delicious and comforting meal that's often paired with rice.

Snack: For my mid-afternoon snack, I had a slice of mamon, which is a fluffy and buttery sponge cake that's popular in the Philippines.

Dinner: For dinner, I had grilled tilapia, which is a popular Filipino dish made with fresh tilapia marinated in calamansi juice, garlic, and soy sauce. I also had a side of ensaladang talong, which is a salad made with grilled eggplant, tomatoes, onions, and vinegar.

Dinner: For dinner, I had beef steak, which is a dish made with thinly sliced beef marinated in soy sauce, calamansi juice, and onions. I also had a side of steamed vegetables and rice.

In summary, as a Filipino student, my meals are usually affordable, filling, and quick to prepare. I often eat rice with meat and vegetables for lunch and dinner, and I like to start my day with a hearty breakfast. Filipino cuisine is rich in flavor and variety, and I enjoy exploring different dishes and flavors. Despite the simplicity of my meals, they are nutritious and satisfying, and they provide me with the energy I need to get through a long day of studying and classes.

Overall, my typical meals as a Filipino student consist of a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables. I prioritize meals that are affordable, nutritious, and easy to prepare, as I often have limited time and resources as a student. I also enjoy snacking on popular Filipino treats and desserts throughout the day. Filipino cuisine offers a wide range of delicious and satisfying meals that are perfect for any student on a budget.

I hope that by sharing my meals, I've inspired you to try out some of the tasty and nutritious dishes from the Philippines. As we embrace a healthy and balanced way of eating, let's not forget the rich and flavorful food culture that our country has to offer. So, let's enjoy the best of both worlds - Filipino food and a healthy lifestyle! xoxo

Woke up around 8:00am to my friend Laksmi's call. She was wondering why she was scheduled to work while the rest of us wasn't. Lucky her. Working on a bank holiday. Money's rolling.

Steamy morning cuddling, even when I only wanted less. I like it.

Eddie made egg-bagoong fried rice, heated some left over KFC chicken wings along with Romney's lamb stew. It was a very filling breakfast. Whenever I'm here I always feel EXTRA sedentary because I don't workout and all we do is eat. Not that I'm complaining. I should get a gym membership near this place.

Decided to find a Pokemon Unite group in Discord because it is just such a pain in the ass to do solo with many players not knowing how to play the game. I found a group but couldn't exactly play with them because I didn't meet the level requirements. I had fun ranking up even if it was such a pain during some games. I guess it still brings me some form of happiness even when it seems a bit boring at times. I've met the level requirement now so maybe during the weekend I can play again.

We're going to Farrah's place, Ed's colleague, to have some samgyupsal. So happy we're having some korean to cap off the end of the holidays here.

Got there around 5pm. I bought some Krispy Kreme donuts because I didn’t want to come empty handed on my end. It was delicious. Ate 2 1/2 donuts. I made Ed eat the other one because I didn’t want the guilt of eating all the carbs of the other half of the donut. The samgyupsal was really good! I wish they did that every week.

Went home to around 10pm. Ran towards the house because it rained a lot on our way home. My 7£ umbrella couldn’t withstand the wind. Just took a shower now and we’re going to be sleeping in a bit. Holiday’s over. Back to working my butt off tomorrow. I can feel that this week’s going to be a good week. Not without challenges, of course, but I feel more… mature and capable to handle the challenges when they come.

Before we devoured everything, we had bagoong rice, fried tilapia, crispy pata, and kare-kare because Andy was making up for four years of not being back in the country. 🍚🐠🐽 (at Manam Greenhills) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpre6DTu5JC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Filipino Food Through Time

Filipino people are known for their love of food, and this shows through their rich culture and wide selection of foods and dishes.

by Chris Alcantara

Pinoy cuisine is a fusion of Asian and western cuisine that is deeply connected with their history and diversity. The kind of food that is at the top of the list depends on each family, province, and city has its own version of Filipino favorites, and Filipinos love to alter and present their own techniques to each and every recipe there is.

So what makes Pinoy Recipes so Unique?

Pinoy food and cuisine captures the culture, and essence of being a Filipino, food is the main attraction of any festival and celebration, also one can argue that Filipino recipes are combination of western concepts and eastern traditions. You can find many variations of Pinoy ulam recipes from Chinese, Spanish, and American cuisine.

This started in the 11th century where chinese traders went in to the Philippines for the purpose of trading their textiles and ceramics, but one thing that they also brought with them is their cooking techniques and some dishes such as noodles, spring rolls and steamed dishes. Now onto 16th century where the Spanish colonized the Philippines and introduced the catholic religion to the locals, they also indtroduced a wide collection of flavors and spices. Fried rice actually came from Spain, which became a staple in every Filipino breakfst dishes.

Before the 19th century, the Philippines was then colonized by the United States, this became as a mean for them to introduce the English language to many Filipinos, along with this they also introduced their cooking methods such as pressure cooking, freezing, pre-cooking and a variety of sandwich dishes.

See, Hear, Smell, Touch and Taste Filipino Food!

SEE – For westerners, you eat with your eyes so plating is very important. However, Filipino Food like laing, bopis, balut, bagoong, etc. may not look as appetizing as a Lasagna, Greek Salad, and Mexican Tacos, but the sight of them are mouth-watering for most Filipinos.

HEAR – Dining, for Filipinos, is an avenue for catching up, sharing stories, and talking about random stuff. The dining experience becomes more alive when Filipinos talk about food while eating their meal. This gives an amplified appreciation on the food they're eating.

SMELL – Pandan leaves are often placed in rice before cooking giving it a fragrant aroma that makes it more appetizing. These are also used in making sugar syrup for Sago't Gulaman – a staple drink, elevating a simple syrup with pandan infused aroma & flavor. When smoking/grilling food, Filipinos wrap banana leaves to the food giving it a distinct smoky smell and flavor to the dish.

TASTE – Philippines is dubbed as a "Sawsawan Nation". An eatery set up usually offers bottled condiments such as soy sauce, vinegar, fish sauce, calamansi, chili, and toasted garlic. These elevate the taste of the dish rounding up the whole taste experience.

TOUCH – One true Filipino custom is the "Kamayan" wherein the manner of eating is by pressing rice and viand to firm it up through the use of hands (not with spoon/fork). Kamayan also resonates festive and bountiful meal. Rice is usually placed on the middle of a banana leaf topped with several viands (mostly grilled/fried).

Understanding Pinoy Cuisine

Pinoy cuisine starts out with steamed rice. Steamed rice is a staple side dish for most

. Whether for gulay recipes or otherwise, it's a traditional base for any meal because it goes with anything. In the next section, we'll be talking about regional specialties in Pinoy cuisine that every Filipino household must try.

With over 7,000 islands and three island groups, every region in the Philippines has its unique dishes that were often shaped through cultural borrowing or indigenization.

An example of borrowings according to Doreen Fernandez, a renowned writer on local food literature, is no other than adobo. She said that "adobo" was derived from "adobado" which is a stewed meat dish in Mexico. However, she added that adobo would mean as a pickling sauce in Spain.

Here's our take on the traditional regional dishes from Pampanga, Iloilo and Maguindanao:

Kare Kare & Bagoong Rice

Kare Kare is a distinctly Filipino dish that is popularized by the region of Pampanga. The older versions of this stew consisted of ox tail or lean beef. But a lot of other regions created their own version with different ingredients. It's comforting, creamy, savory, and is best served with rice.

Cansi & Puso (rice wrapped in coconut leaves)

Cansi is the sour version of the Bulalo. It's a dish from Bacolod that's sour, spicy, and rich. It uses Batuan fruit which is native to the region as its main souring agent. This is an excellent source of protein and is rich with iron, phosphorus, zinc, and vitamin B12.

Pastil and Lawot Lawot

Pastil is a common dish that's loved by many, especially in Maguindanao. It's a meal of steamed rice with shredded chicken meat, all wrapped in a banana leaf. This dish, which is dubbed as a "Poor Man's Meal," is very easy to make but still very flavorful.
