Mussels in Korea
For the first time my husband allowed me to eat clams inside our apartment actually at first he didn’t want me to buy the mussels but later on he agreed. He is somehow worried of the stench, but I told him clams/mussels doesn’t smell unlike dried fish.
Mussels can be cooked by steaming, grilling or baking them but I just boiled mine with salt and dropped two heads of garlic after washing them thoroughly. When it was cooked I ate my lunch and as expected I ate a lot, yeah right I love seafood so much. I felt sick after eating though maybe because I ate a I almost ate them all in one meal but I have thought my husband, so I left a few which I also ended eating up because my he doesn’t like it.
Chicken Curry
The other day my mother asked my cousin in law to cooked our young rooster tied in our backyard so while we are in town he cooks it.
We had an ample amount of food so we gave some to our neighbors and of course to the one who cooked the chicken. I missed eating chicken cooked in coconut milk this is one of my favorite.
Mandoo and Mas Day Chicken
Last night was raining a little but it didn’t stop me to went out and buy some food. I first went to Mandoo place and ordered mandoo or dumplings as I can’t read the language I just point-point luckily there’s young Korean people who told me what I am pointing at, like if it is meat, spicy or kimchi. I ended up ordering three box of mandoo, meat, kimchi and fried meat.
After it I went to Mas Day one of the famous chicken place in Korea because you can find them anywhere. There’s only few people inside when I went in so it was just a right time I ordered fifty-fifty chicken, half fried chicken and half chicken with spicy sauce. I stayed outside to wait for my order, it is going to be awkward if I stayed inside because the people inside are drinking beer. The woman just call when my order was already cooked when it was handed to me, I got startled why it is too heavy. At home I found it has free cider, corn, preserved radish and pickles and mustard sauce.
I also stopped at Family Mart to buy ice cream on stick, Gelato it is our favorite flavor right now. As they also blueberry flavor I also buy 2 pieces so in all I bought 8 pieces of ice cream in stick.
Instant Meal from Family Mart
What I love about eating instant meal is I am able to choose which one to eat. There’s a lot of variants and choices, below was the meal I have eaten a week ago if I remember it right. I am just too procrastinated to blog about it.
Stewed Pork with Vegetables
I have not update this blog for weeks already because of being away for vacation. Anyway tomorrow is the start of juice fast diet just too bad I can’t take picture of the juices I have to drink because my camera was broken, it was accidentally dropped while on vacation. I will surely missed the normal food I ate while I am in normal diet the photo below is a pork I stewed with vegetables.
Fried Dumplings
I am going to boil the dumplings but when my husband saw me he requested if I can friend it because he is craving for fried dumplings. So I did, the dumplings are still wrapped with ice so when I dropped them in the pot the oil splattered everywhere, a lot of things to clean for me ah.
Vegetable Chicken
This is what I have cooked today chicken in vegetable. I still have few pieces left over fresh chicken in the fridge as I don’t feel like eating adobo I decided to cook it in vegetable soup powder.
Cooking this viand is very easy all you need is to saute garlic and onions in a little amount of oil then add the chicken and vegetables. Add water and the soup powder, salt and black pepper to taste.
Fish Pancit
I have been craving for noodles or Chinese food these past few days so I have thought of cooking a Pancit and instead of using chicken strips I used the left over fish in the fridge. I don’t know what would it taste but I experimented and instead of using ginisa mix I just add soy sauce to taste and little did I know that I dropped too much black pepper that made it too hot to eat.
Cooking this is just like cooking a normal pancit bihon where you have to saute the garlic and onion first, then add water and soy sauce, after which drop the pancit bihon, mixed it then add the vegetables when it is nearly cooked.
Mackerel
I think it was been more than a year since the last time I ate fish, so on our last shopping day I bought fish despite my husband doesn’t like it. I told him I am going to add ginger so it won’t stink, yeah right he doesn’t like me cooking fish because it stinks.
So the other I cooked the fish, I cooked it in vinegar and ginger Paksiw in short and as expected my husband complaint that the apartment stinks, I have enjoyed eating the fish it tasted like mackerel in the can. Haha!
Chicken Sinigang
After eating too much fatty meat I decided to cook a viand but this one is quite different. It is my first time to cook chicken sinigang and the outcome is quite nice different from my expectation. I only cooked half of the chicken in case I am not going to like the result but I did so I end up wanting for more.
I just used the resources present in our apartment so I have used potatoes and cabbage, then sinigang mix for the sour taste.
