bacon with hourenso (spinach)

Now this combo is reaaally good. I got addicted with this on my previous assignment here in Japan; ordering a serving or two in some popular family restaurants here. But it was only now that I finally worked on making this combo at home.

It’s quite easy to prepare though.

  1. Boil water and sprinkle some salt and pepper. You can also put the Japanese soup flavoring “hondashi” for that slightly Japanese taste.
  2. Once boiling, put the spinach and wait for about 2 minutes to let it cook.
  3. Drain.
  4. Sauté the bacon with olive oil until lightly brown or until natural juice comes out.
  5. Add in the hourenso.
  6. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.

Tada!

 



Fulfilling Yasai (vegetable)

It isn’t just good food (or more like good drink/tasteful drink in this case). It’s packed with healthy goodness as well. You can taste the richness in nutrients and minerals with every flavorful sip. Why so? Cause it’s a pure juice made out of 20 vegetables and 5 fruits.

Max’s Sizzling Tofu and Goldilocks’ Multi-Grain Bread

I’ve eaten Max’s Restaurant’s Sizzling Tofu and Goldilocks’ Multi-grain bread separately and both is just so tasty. But eaten together? Oh, it’s just an explosion of flavor! Max’s Sizzling Tofu comes lightly fried and in coconot milk with bell pepers and onions. Goldilocks’ milti-grain seemed to heighten up the richness of the coconut-cream-infused tofu and at the same time levels out its richness, creating fireworks of flavor in your palate. The combination is-just-so-freakin’-good. Try it!

Papa’s good food

I think it’s high time to feature Papa’s goodfood here in my blog. As Hubbie describes it, Papa’s  meals are so addictive. He found it so delicious that he gained 2 inches in his waistline in less than four days.

Drat though that I was only able to take a picture of one dish. But then again, maybe it’s good to feature them one at a time.

Papa’s Pancit (noodles). I always  request for this on my vacations back home. The pancit miki that Papa uses is so flavorful and devoid of that plastic flavor I seem to taste in other mikis. Papa tosses lots of ingredients on it that I think of it as a chopsuey sans the soup mixed with noodles. Yummy!!

Pancake House’ Country Sausage

For four small pieces at 89pesos, it surely is expensive. There are times as well when they serve this sausage all shriveled up.

But wait till you slice your knife and fork into it and you’ll be surprised that out of the shrivelled bit comes out juicy meat that would want to make you eat it ASAP. And once you eat it? Ahhh…perfect. Salty just the way I love it, with hints of pepper.

Malunggay Whole Wheat Pandesal

Every now and then, I’d like to experiment; try out some new product. When I saw Pan-A-Cup’s Malunggay Whole Wheat Pandesal, I was instantly intrigued with how it would taste. And I’m glad I was curious enough to buy it. It’s got a curious taste to it, probably owing to the malunggay bits. Yet the malunggay taste fused with the whole wheat verging-on-sweet dough creating a delectable tasting pandesal.

It’s perfect as it is even when eaten as is. But it’s good to match with SPAM as well for breakfast. And if in case you need to heat up the pandesal and you don’t have a microwave oven at home, you can heat it up on a pan brushed with olive oil. I did it. It was just uber yummy that I had to buy another pack the following day. haha.
