Thinking of recipes for the household is the hardest. I was pressured because of the time, I needed to cook something fast but good at the same time for my family. I decided to make pork cutlet steak. I bought the meat at Shopwise, 1 kilo costs P235 pork cutlet.
Ingredients used where:
Because I love reading food posts, these are my series of food adventures from dining out and simple home cooking and everything else~
When I left my previous work, my officemates were so sweet to “throw” me a despedida somewhere along Jupiter St, Makati. We ended up going to Strumm’s. I wasn’t able to take a lot of photos, but I enjoyed the night of food, drinks and great company.
What we had…
We were the first customers to arrive in the place and almost all of the seats were already reserved, good thing somehow we managed to get seats. Anyhow, as for our calamares order for less than P200? I’ve had better. The squid was so chewy like bubblegum, nothing extra ordinary.
For our second order, we were deciding whether to choose the plain nachos or the supreme one. The supreme costs around P300+ I think and it was total disappointment.
For something that’s supposedly to be special, the price is not worth it. Well, I guess it’s all about the drinks not the food. One of my officemate ordered dynamite, that was good, but no photo sorry.
If you arrive early, you get to pay for beer or tanduay ice half the price, the regular price costs for P130+ per bottle.
A few weeks ago, my man finally bought an android phone. We bought his phone at Parkquare Makati for a good deal. He got himself a Samsung Galaxy Y, right after buying we had dinner at SM Makati food court. I ordered at Tokyo tokyo, the Tempura kani meal which costs P228.
The meal comes with 4 pcs of california maki, and regular drink of red ice tea. The usual stuff, but I love their sautee’d veggies a lot.
I like Tokyo’s red ice among other Japanese fast food resto’s.
We met the next day to have a quick dinner near my place.
Martin ordered chicken nuggets and a cheeseburger, I had their spaghetti and burger mcdo. I was quite surprised that the portion size were big. Not bad for a P50 meal.
Last Saturday, was our weekend RnR, we just stayed in his place to have a movie and gaming session. For breakfast, we had the usual mcdonald’s breakfast.
A growing man needs his food, hehe~
I wonder, why is the Mcdonald’s standard here in the Philippines so small? The sausage mc muffin is almost the size of my palm and they wonder why they can’t beat Jollibee here in the Philippines? Anyhow, I still enjoyed my breakfast, even if the muffins tasted like stale bread.
For lunch, which was rather a very late lunch we enjoyed ourselves with simple food, a bang for the buck. Paotsin never fails to fill the tummy.
Fried sharks fin for the boy
Fried squid wanton for me
We washed it down with our drinks brought from the grocery. The Lipton sparkling is my current fave.
For dessert I was curious about Monde’s coco bites, I had high hopes for this but was just dismayed.
Our dinner was home cooked, Adobo and pansit canton, both were yum!
That’s about it for food photos! Hope this will be a great week for everyone~
And of course, since I rarely spend time with their cat Tigger, I enjoyed every moment hugging him and squeezing his face XD
Till then!

Quick post..
I was browsing through some budget friendly recipe’s online and found an Egg Sarciado recipe~ it was my first time to make this and turned out really goooood. Only gripe about it is that, I should’ve put more eggs.
Definitely budget friendly and easy to cook~
So here’s the recipe as requested by some of my lovely readers:
I actually got the recipe here at Del Monte Kitchenomics
Till then!

My blog is not just about beauty stuff, as stated, my blog is about things that I love, so for today, just wanted to share an achievement unlocked!
My major role in the family ever since our old maids left is to cook for them. They’ve requested misua with meatballs. I’ve cooked misua before but used sardines, so cooking it with meatballs is new to me and quite frankly, I’m not confident in cooking it. But thanks to the handy internet for the recipe.
Ingredients are pretty simple, what I was worried about is the meatballs. But thanks to Shopwise meat section for the ready made meat balls. My fabulous chef friend told me, that misua sucks us the liquid a lot, so it was a good idea that I put a lot of water but still flavorful enough. I just used knorr cubes in replacement of stock.
Misua with meatballs
Ingredients used:
misua noodles
salt and pepper to taste
patis (fish sauce)
leeks
beef knorr cubes
Result?
It was really yummy, the ready made meatballs was good too. Of course, if you’re the type who has the time to make your own meatballs, go ahead. Now, I’m happy that I have another recipe learned.
By the way, happy weekend (to most) to you my dear readers! Hope you’re all doing okay, any weekend food tripping?
Till then!

Earlier this afternoon, I went to Shopwise Makati to buy some stuff for the house and some cat food for my companions. I was actually surprised to see a new line of cat food from Fancy Feast, it also has a new packaging. Normally, I buy the fancy feast Beef in Gravy, because it is their favorite among the Salmon and Trout. The new flavor is Seafood, packaging really has a big impact to consumers. For price, it is still the same, 1 small can costs P29.75 But it is far more safe than giving them Whiskas which really is bad for them. It’s commercial food and contains high ash magnesium which is bad for a cat’s health. So I always go for fancy feast for wet and 9Lives for kibbles (P240 for 2.5kgs)
Pictures below:
My mistake, it’s the packaging that is new but flavor and ingredients still the same.
Sundays, is what keeps most family together, because everyone is at home and we all get to eat together as a family from breakfast till dinner. Mom bought some burger patties from Legaspi Organic Market and for merienda, I made hamburgers for the family. Nothing really fancy, just good ol’ burgers! Ingredients consist of the following:
Oilve oil
Sauce
Lettuce
The patties, were spiced with dried basil, pepper, salt and a tad bit of soy sauce, those were the spices available at that time
End product:
The con: choice of sandwich bun, for a big sized patty as big as the palm of my hand was too thin for the patty. But everything else was good!
Weekend is about to end once again, hopefully next week will be a better week for me.
