i can’t say when regular posting will resume, but here’s something we had at home recently that would make a good side dish with many things you yourselves will be serving.
first, slice up some cucumber into small cubes – keep the skin on. then cube some tofu and boil that.
for the dressing, mix up 2 parts sesame oil, one part white vinegar, a dash of sugar and salt.
toss in the tofu and cucumber and then sprinkle some sesame seeds on it.
trust me, this is good stuff
haven’t been able to post in a while. lots of things going on, but thought i’d share an unexpected and very pleasant discovery:
andok’s sisig.
yes, when you see an andok’s restaurant, go try their sisig – it’s very good. one of the best here in manila.
right around the corner from where i work is a restaurant called teazann (along valero st near the corner of sedeno, makati). according to them they do mostly asian fusion food. and it’s not a bad descriptor – their menu does contain a hodge podge of things.
i’m not wild about their food though. once i tried pasta with sausage and balsamic vinegar and almost choked with the heaviness of the vinegar. but there is this one dish that my dining companions there would usually order and i finally decided to try it. beef satay noodles.
the name of the dish pretty much says it all. it’s a noodle soup, the broth tastes much like satay and there are little chunks of beef that taste like they have been cooked in the satay sauce. the real charm of this dish is the way the satay is blended with curry giving the dish a nice round spice. at P255, i do wish it were a little less expensive, but for a little treat now and then it isn’t bad.
the other good thing about teazann is their chocolate cake – nothing spectacular, but a good solid reliable cake. but get it whole – it tends to be dry if you order by the slice.
