Fried Cream Dory with Mixed Veggies

Recently did I learned that my hubby doesn't like Dory fish. :( I just learned about it when I cooked this and when I prepared him food to bring for work, he removed it. :(

Anyway, this is not the last time I'm cooking cream dory, but I will look for alternative ones. Anyway, let me share this to you. I got this recipe from a friend.

Here's what you need:

For the dory:
1/2 kg dory
1 pack chicken breading (I used Crispy Fry garlic)

For veggies:
10 pcs. baguio beans, cut into 2
1 medium size carrots, sliced
1 tbsp butter

For dressing:
1 pack mayonnaise
2 tsp pickle relish

How to prepare:

- Cut dory into small portion. Dip into chicken breading. Fry.
- For the veggies, saute veggies in 1 tbsp of butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- For the dressing, just mix pickle relish and mayonnaise.

Kare Kare

Whenever I cook a dish for the first time, I always get nervous of the outcome. As you know, my hubby knows how to cook and he's my number 1 critic when it comes to my cooking.

I was in a supermarket one day, and I saw Del Monte Kare Kare mix. I was looking at this recipe for quite a while but was hesitant because of the outcome. I picked up the mix and decided to pay for it and cook it. 

Verdict: My husband loved it! Yeay!!
So let me share the recipe and try it for yourself. I thought Kare Kare is hard to prepare, but I was wrong, it was so easy!

What you need:

1/2 kg pork, sinigang cut (this is what I did, you can choose your own cut)
1 Del Monte Kare Kare mix
2 bunches of pechay
2 pcs eggplant, sliced
2 bunches of sitaw
1 medium onion, sliced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 cups water
oil

How to prepare:

- Boil water (about 4 cups) and put the pork for 5 minutes.
- Drain and discard the water. Put 3 cups of water and boil for another 5 minutes.
- Set aside 2 cups of water, drain the rest of the water.
- Saute onion and garlic in oil. Add pork.
- Add 2 cups of broth and the kare kare mix.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, lowering the heat.
- Add sitaw and eggplant. Simmer for another 3 minutes.
- Add pechay. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Serve with bagoong.

You can also add banana heart. Kare kare is best served when veggies are not overcooked.

Enjoy!!

Dynamite

Let me share with you one of my most favorite dish ever! It is so easy and very yummy too! We call it Dynamite because of the taste, since we're using green chili (the one we use for sinigang).

1/4 kg ground pork
20 pcs. sliced cheese

For the dip:
5 tbsp. mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp. calamansi juice
dash of pepper

How to prepare:

- Once the siling pang sigang has been seeded, put ground pork and 2 pcs. sliced cheese.

Shakey's Monster Meal

It's always good when you share good food with friends. Last night, I met up with my Teletech friends at SM Mall of Asia and we had dinner at Shakey's. Since we were about 10, my friend decided to go to Shakey's. Good thing they have this Monster Meal deal which is good for 12 persons. I was also looking forward to taste this meal because of the posters I see when I pass by their restaurant.

The pizza was thin crust and I actually didn't like it. I was expecting a soft crust. Haha. Anyway, I was so full eating their pasta and the chicken, which is good by the way. It was really worth the price.

All in all, we had a  good dinner, and a good laugh, as always. I will surely go back and order this one again when I get the chance to be with friends again.
