Cheese sandwich

Sometimes the simplest things give the best kind of pleasure. This Cheez Whiz sandwich, for example, was such a joy to look at for its simplicity and straightforwardness. Nothing beats a quick snack to satisfy a craving, right?

Cold Cuts @ Ying Ying

Blogie — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 09:32:48 +0000

Cold cuts composed of chicken, asado, a variety of seaweed, and century eggs. These cold cuts are quite refreshing, but I am no fan of the chicken because of its little bones. Their asado dishes are just the juiciest (Ying Ying and Wai Ying have the best asado in Binondo). We don’t eat century eggs anymore, because China stopped its production due to some health reasons.

Taro Puff @ Ying Ying

Crunchy puff outside with perfect taro stuffing inside, plus if sauced out with Hoisin (海鮮), it will elevate to something divine. I don’t know what’s in that Hoisin sauce but it is the perfect pair for taro puff. *Hoisin mean seafood, but it is said that it doesn’t even contain fish. Weird.

Chicken Pad Thai

My brother brought me recently to this hole-in-the-wall joint (literally!) in Makati, just outside posh Rockwell, called Som’s Noodle House. I must say, the look of the place doesn’t do their food justice at all! We had their Pad Thai and their Curry Chicken — both were sumptuous and very filling. The owner is Thai, and all their offerings are authentic Thai cuisine, at very reasonable prices.

Som’s Noodle House is on Alger St., Makati City. On Kalayaan Ave., turn left right before the entrance to Rockwell.

Lobsters!

At the famous Ka Lui restaurant in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. The word lobsters just jumped out of the menu. We ordered half a kilo and chose it cooked in classic butter-garlic. Yum!

Deep-Fried Oysters

I love oysters! Raw, steamed, baked, broiled. A typical order is usually “Rockefeller”. But while in a Chinese restaurant in Kota Kinabalu, “deep fried oysters” called out to me on the menu. The batter was just right. Crunchy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. Succulent!
