Pork with Mushroom in Creamy Sauce

Today's lunch, pork with mushroom with creamy sauce. I also got this recipe from the forum I am in. Thank you to my sisses who shared this recipe. My husband haven't tasted this yet but I love the creaminess of this dish.

Here's what you need:

80 pesos pork, cut into wide strips

1 medium onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, chopped

butter

1 small evaporated milk

1 small can of mushroom (I used Jolly)

salt

pepper

How to prepare:

- In a pan, put butter and saute onion and garlic.

- When garlic is slightly brown, add pork and continue sauteeing until pork is tender.

- Add mushrooms. Saute for 3 minutes.

- Add milk. Lower the heat. You can add generous amount of milk but make sure it's not too much that it's already a "sabaw".

- Add pepper and salt to taste.

- Serve.

You can also try beef instead of pork. 

Rellenong Pusit

I recently learned new recipes from the forum I am in. This is the same forum where I found Pork Kinamatisan recipe which was so popular and delicious.

I will share with you a seafood recipe using pusit (squid). Let's start.



What you will need:
1/4 kilo squid, cleaned
1 small carrot, diced
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
magic sarap
30 pesos ground pork
pepper
oil for frying
1 beaten egg
flour
toothpick

For marinade:
soy sauce
kalamansi

How to prepare:

- Marinade squid in soy sauce and kalamansi for 30 minutes.
- Saute garlic and onion.
- Add ground pork. Saute until the ground pork is brownish.
- Add carrots, magic sarap and peppper.
- Set aside. Let it cool.
- Drain soy sauce from the squid and then stuff the squid with     sauteed ground pork with carrots.Put toothpick on the edge of the squid so that the stuff will remain intact.
- Dip in egg and then drench in flour.
- Fry the squid 3-5 mins each side.

Here's the finish product. The squid became smaller. I didn't know it would shrink when you fry them. But it still tasted good.

Mang Cha-a 2

I dropped by Mang Cha-a this morning and to those who read my blog about them last month, I mentioned there that I wish they have cookies to compliment the tea they offer. When I went there this morning, to my surprise, there were cookies!!!

I was so happy when I saw their cookies in a very cute jar. They have Chocolate Chip cookies for only 20 pesos and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for 25 pesos. I bought the Chocolate Chip cookie and I must say that it complimented the tea I ordered. I ordered Strawberry Milk Tea with pearl and my husband actually loved their milk tea! He also said that the place was nice. :)

The barista also said they have new flavors to try. They the coconut and mango drinks. I will definitely try it when I come back. I am so happy that the owner of this branch really listened to customer's feedback. Actually, I posted my blog last month to my Facebook page and tagged them. To my surprise, they posted it on their fan page and said that they heard the comments and they will soon have cookies to sell and there they are!

It feels so nice to finally get a customer satisfaction. Haha. If you want to read my first blog about them, click here.

Infinitea

I had a Thursdate with my hubby today and he invited me to try the newly opened Infinitea along Naga Road. We've been meaning to try this tea place but there was none near our place. So when we learned there will be an Infinitea walking distance from our house, I told my husband I want to try their drinks when they opened. 

This is just a small place but when you enter the place, aside from the very cold place, the place was very alive and happy because of the colors inside the place.

My husband was seating on a comfy couch which I really love. :) Next to him is a very nice and bright chair. Isn't the chair nice?

At my back is the counter where you will place your order. We were seated near the counter.

This is the counter. They have the menu available for you to see aside from the ones posted on their wall (was not able to take a photo of it). The drinks here ranges from 50 pesos to 120 pesos, depending on what type of drinks you order.

Does this look familiar? Yes. This is the same with Mang Cha-a's wall where you can stick or post notes or messages to anyone.A friend told me this branch had their soft opening last Thursday and with the look of this board, it seems a lot had been here already.

By the way, when you order their drinks, they will ask you for the sugar level. This is interesting, huh? Me and my hubby chose quarter sugar or 25% sugar.

My hubby ordered Almond Milk Tea (50 pesos) and I ordered Green Tea Frappe (80 pesos). To my dismay, my frappe was "matabang" and I was thinking that maybe, when you order a frappe you should increase the sugar level. I tasted my hubby's Almond Milk Tea and it tasted good and you can really taste the almond flavor. I didn't finish my drink and gave it to my sister for her to taste and she commented the same thing, "matabang". I don't blame the barista because I was the one who chose 25% sugar level. At least now, I know and I should have asked questions from them. 

And the same sentiments for this tea shop, they should offer cookies or something. I saw Doritos over the counter but I'm sure it's expensive than your 50 pesos milk tea. But the place is great, the colors were nice to eyes and it's comfortable there. Will definitely try another drink because I have a tea date with a friend this coming Saturday and next Wednesday to this same Infinitea branch. I will post the photos of the new drinks I will try.

Fiesta Spaghetti

I noticed that I haven't posted any pasta dish here in my blog even though I am a super fan of Spaghetti. I was looking for the tipid pack of Del Monte Spaghetti but I didn't find one and I saw this Fiesta Tipid Pack. It has 1 kilo of Spaghetti noodles and 1 kilo of Spaghetti sauce plus a free 250 grams of free Spaghetti Sauce. I was intrigued with what it says "plus parmesan cheese" on it so I bought it and it's only for P149.00!

So here's what you need:

1 kilo Fiesta Spaghetti Noodles

1 kg and 250 g Fiesta Spaghetti Sauce

4 pcs regular hotdog, slice into small pieces

P50 ground pork

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium onion, chopped

cooking oil

salt and pepper

Water (for the noodles)

How to prepare:

Noodles:

- Boil water. Once water is hot enough, put 1 tbsp of oil and dash of salt.

- Add the noodles. Stir occasionally. Check if noodles is already cooked. Set aside.

Sauce:

- Heat 2 tbsp. oil.

- Saute onion and garlic. Add hotdogs and ground pork.

- Add pepper and salt and saute until ground pork is brown in color.

- Add spaghetti sauce. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.

- Serve.

I didn't know that Fiesta Spaghetti sauce taste so good too! My husband said that the sauce was really good so I am beginning to like this brand now. :)

Happy Eating everyone!
