Kare Kare-I am proud to say that this delicious Filipino, peanut based stew originated in Pampanga :) Whenever I cook this, I make sure to use lots of peanut butter, lots of ground toasted peanuts, and actually incorporate some of the bagoong (Which is usually served on the side) while sauteing…I also make sure the sauce has just the right consistency, not too thick and not too runny either. A little manyaman tip for you all: after you get the right consitency and desired tenderness of your meat, add about a half stick of butter into your Kare Kare. It will make your sauce more smooth, more savory, and of course more manyaman!

Superr like your blog!

BBQ Sisig-I guess the inner innovater came out of me with this dish haha. Last week, we had some left over BBQ pork ribs in the fridge and they tasted a little too bland for me…so what did I do? Well, I deboned them, chopped up the meat into smaller pieces along with some red onions, and turned the boring bbq into some delicious sisig! I also fried up some chicharon, chopped that up as well and added it on the grill with the meat. It came out amazing :) It had a perfect balance of the slight sweetness from the bbq marinade, and the fresh citrusy flavor of calamansi. So what advice can I give all my fellow cooks out there? Never settle for boring left overs. Be creative, be innovative, and turn something boring into something Manyaman!

Paella De Valenciana- It’s been awhile since my last post, so I decided to post a very special, super Manyaman dish up that could somehow make up for all the days I haven’t posted hahah. This seafood rice dish comes from Valencia Spain, and though it takes some time and patience it cook, it is well worth it in the end. After three trials of making this Paella, I FINALLY perfected my recipe! Hopefully one day I can actually travel to Spain and taste some authentic Paella…but until then, my Paella will do :)

Filipino Menudo- Long time no post! But now that I’m on winter break, I’ll be sure to post lots of Manyaman dishes on here, like this Menudo! Can’t have a Filipino celebration without this medley of pork, hot dogs, potatoes and sweet peppers in a tomato based sauce :)

Omg I found you, neighbor!!! Keep it up with the cooking. Looks so bomb! One day, I'm gonna unexpectedly come over and eat. I can smell it down the street hahaha jk. But I need to live up to my Kapampangan roots as well and start cooking too! Can't let my people down :)

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 16:49:01 -0800

Neighbor! I didn’t even know you had a tumblr :) Glad you found me! And yess, we needa keep out Kapampangan roots alive! Especially now that our parents are getting older hahah. See you around Junemy! Like driving down our street…or at Auntie Cora’s house or something lol

Wow! All this time I seriously thought your family owned a restaurant...lol. Your dishes look so delicious and are presented so nicely. Amazing job. :) Always makes me hungry looking at the photos...Haha.

Where is your restaurant?

Hi :) I would love to have my own restaurant one day in the future, but as of now I just cook from home…no restaurant yet hahah

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:34:00 -0800

Pinakbet Kapampangan- This is my version of the classic Pinakbet, cooked the Pampango way…meaning it was sauteed in lots of Bagoong Alamang hahah. I like to keep things simple when making this dish, so the only vegetables I used were Squash, String Beans, Eggplant, and Tomato. Lastly, just to give it that Manyaman bite every Pinakbet dish needs, I topped it with some fried pork and lots of sauteed shrimp.

Pandesal Corned Beef Sliders-Like 90% of Filipino Households, Corned Beef has always been a staple canned food in our house hahah. I do admit, I’m not a huge fan of canned meats, but from time to time, I like to saute the corned beef in lots of onion, garlic, and tomato, then use it as a filling for buttered Pandesal, or simply eat it with steamed white rice :)

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 12:41:23 -0800

Sisig Kapampangan- Once again, I am proud to say that this Manyaman Filipino Favorite originated in Pampanga :) Thanks to Aling Lucing of Angeles, Pampanga-Dakal a Salamat Pu! I’ll be honest, cooking sisig is definitely NOT an easy dish to cook…there are several specific cooking processes that go into it, and if even one of these cooking processes are not executed properly, the whole dish could go wrong. Thankfully, my sisig came out successfully, and more importantly, it came out Manyaman! The only thing that was missing was a case of San Miguel Beer hahah

Pancit Palabok (Pancit Luglug)-I don’t mean to be bias, but my mom’s Pancit Palabok is honestly the most Manyaman Pancit Palabok I’ve tasted IN MY LIFE. This is one of those recipes that only very few people in my family know, and fortunately, I am one of those few people :) Even though I can’t share what goes into this Amazing pancit sauce, I will say that it takes a lot of time, and a lot of ingredients to make. As the saying goes “Sauce pa lang, ulam na!” Meaning it’s all in the sauce!

Pochero-This is yet another manyaman Filipino stew made up of slow cooked tomatoes, plantain bananas, string beans, bok choy & cabbage. I used a combination of pork and chicken in this dish, but beef can also be used. The funny thing about this dish is I first heard about it on the popular Filipino Teleserye “Mara Clara” last year hahah. As you can see, I easily get inspired to cook by many different things I see on a day to day basis, even Filipino soap operas :)

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:45:00 -0700

Filipino Beef Steak (Bistek)-In Pampango, we call this “Bisteg”, and it’s always been one of my favorite Beef dishes. I like to use lots of Calamansi when marinating the meat (I’m talking about A LOT of Calamansi). This really gives the dish that unique , truly Filipino, citrusy flavor :)
