On the Move... 04/24/2010

My blog is going through a dry spell and it's not because of the summer heat.

I'm occupied these days with moving out of the house and to my new apartment. I've almost finished transplanting myself. The nachos recipe post should be in before my upcoming Anawangin trip.

The pic above shows my new space saving stove shelf. Hopefully after I've finished moving, the apartment will be just as neat.

Until next time!

Things that are rare in the city # 1 - Peace...
** added 05/02/2011 Please deal ONLY with the Owner Mr. Raffy Peran : cp # +639175875665,


I spent April 13 and 14 in Punta Fuego in Nasugbu, Batangas. My fiancee's family has a beach house over there that they rent out  - Forest Cove Beach House.

The first thing I noticed was how quiet and peaceful it was. The only sounds in the background were birds chirping, geckos and the occasional pump boat. No campaign jingles and traffic noise there.

Ginataang tulingan is regular lunch fare at home. For this batch,  I jazzed it up a bit by frying the tulingan first. I also  let the broth get reduced to an oily sauce.  Nothing fancy here but the additional steps made for some tasty lunch.

I had my first taste of steamed spare ribs in the old Le Ching dim sum place in Greenhills. My fiancee ordered it for me on my first visit there. It's one of the house specials. The ribs were flavorful and partnered perfectly with rice.

This is the first time I am attempting to make my own steamed spare ribs. My initial goal is to get the spareribs to my desired tenderness. I want the meat to be  firm but tender and have an almost gelatinous texture. I think it's something to do with what part of the ribs you use and the steaming process. I estimate that I'll go through a few more batches before I get it right.
