Sinigang na Sardinas

Yes,you've heard it right..Sinigang na Sardinas.
We're a bit tight now,my brother needs to enroll for his last semester in college and there's so much expenses. So we need to eat and cook what we have at home because honestly, I am so broke right now. And here's what my budget can buy...

Sardines
Tomato
Onion
Garlic
Sinigang mix
Kamote tops(from our neighbor's garden)

Here's how I did it:

• Saute the garlic in oil until slightly brown, add the onions and the tomatoes

• Add the Sardines ,avoid crushing the fish, let it sit for 3 mins

• Pour 2-3 cups of water and simmer until it starts to boil

• Sprinkle the sinigang mix (measure it according to your desired sourness)

• Add the kamote tops until cooked.
  

I only spend 30 pesos and I already have yummy viand! Its good for 2-3 person:) I learn this from my my friends here in Teresa,Rizal. You should try it!

The Caf Express | Maria Leonora Teresa

Sundate with babe.

Dahil day off nya, I let him sleep until afternoon. Tanghali na kame nakaalis. 

Sa Sta. Lucia Grand Mall kame pumunta. 
We ate lunch at The Caf Express. Grabe, Php149 lang, buffet na. I wasn't expecting too much kasi nga mura lang sya. Wala pa masyadong tao ng dumating kame.

Nagustuhan lang namen kasi unlimited rice. Everytime na kakain kame, 

yun lage ang hanap namen cause we both love to eat.

Ang menu nila: Menudo, fried chicken, Kare-kare, lumpia and more.

I cant say na nadis-appoint ako. Di ko talaga inexpect na sobrang masasarapan ako sa food,
with its price, parang imposible e. Pero okay naman, di na masama.
Though sobrang liit ng drinks na free, na kinailangan nameng umorder na additional drinks,
nabusog naman kame, yun ang importante. I wasn't impress by the food, but it wasn't that bad either.

Tamang-tama lang sa gutom pero nagtitipid :)

After lunch, we decided to watch a movie. His turn to choose one, and he chose 

Maria Leonora Teresa.

I'm not really fond of watching horror movies, matatakutin kasi ako.

 Pero with a little pilit, nag-agree na din ako sa choice nya. 

Its about 3 parents na sabay-sabay namatayan ng anak due to bus accident.

A psychiatrist gave them dolls which looks like their kids, para daw makatulong sa pagmomourn.

It sure help para makarecover sila until magstart na ang mga kakaibang kaganapan sa buhay nila dahil sa doll. May mga secreto pala silang pilit inilihim. Nakaraan na kadugtong ng kasalukuyan nila.

Yun. It wasn't that scary. Medyo nakakagulat, pero di yung tipong mapapatili ka. 

Pero may story. Di lang basta nananakot. Maganda din yung kwento.

Yung effects, carry na. Aminin man naten o hindi, di pa gaanong kaeksperto ang Pilipino sa mga ganun.

All in all, ok naman sya. Magagaling ang artista, in fairness.

Our date ended well. Syempre, dinner sa bahay, kwetuhan. Cuddle and stuff. 

Ika nga nya, kahit saan basta kasama ka, siguradong masaya.

Leche Fail

Its a free day from work, At dahil wala akong magawa, at wala akong makain...Nagsearch ako ng pwedeng gawin. I end up with Leche Puto. Nabasa ko kasi sa isa sa mga blog na pinafollow ko yung tungkol dito. Pero dahil wala din akong pera, kung ano na lang meron sa bahay na ingredients, yun na lang ang ginawa ko. Nauwi sa leche flan. Hindi talaga ko nagluluto. Nagbebake ako, pero aside from cakes and pastries, wala. So pardon me for my failure. Inadopt ko lang yung recipe ng flan sa leche puto.

Eto lang ang ingredients ko.
1 can condense milk, 4 eggyolk, 2 calamansi juice

 Pinaghalo-halo ko lang yung ingredients.

At ang favorite part ko, ang pagkain ng natirang condense milk. Yummmmm!

Nagcaramelize ako ng sugar sa lyanera tapos nilagay ko yung mixture then sinalang ko na sa steamer.
Sinunod ko lang naman yung nasa recipe. But sadly, ganito nangyari:( 

Malambot sya.. Tinagalan ko pa yung salang nya pero ganun pa din. Saka its too sweet.
Yun. Fail. Pero ok pa din naman kasi edible naman. 

Nakain pa din naman namen.
Ulitin ko na lang sa susunod. Baka sakaling makuha ko na:)

Never a failure.
Always a lesson❤

Pigging out.

Yesterday was my boyfriend's free day, so as usual we had our movie marathon  + pigging out date.

Its my favorite kind of date because I can cuddle with him, talk about everything and of course, he always stuffed me with food.(He knows how foodie I am)

Pepero ! One of my favorite. 

My brother used to give his girlfriend one of this so I got curious and tried it, 

and from then on, I can't get enough of it.

Its a pretzel stick dipped in chocolate and almond. Ahhhh..its heavenly.

 Its always my pasalubong from boyfie:)

This Hungarian sausage sandwich. It was tasty and really big. I forgot that my jaw still hurts when I bought this. Though, I still manage to devour it with numerous tiny bites :)

Barbecue! Its always on our what to eat list. Simply because it delicious and easy to find, there's a lot of Ihaw-ihaw stall in our place. 

Balut, a boiled, fertilized duck egg. Its our favorite street food. It looks disgusting but definitely flavorful. Sipping the amniotic fluid from small hole that you made in the balut is the first part. It taste like chicken soup. Next is the yellow part which tastes like any egg yolk, just softer. And of course, the chick, well, you gotta try it to understand why it is so delectable. Me and boyfie never ate just one balut, we always go for more. Yes, thats how delish it is.

I am so damn lucky to have A as a boyfriend. He doesn't care how much I eat, he spoiled me, he remembers what food I love, and he always try to satisfy my cravings. Simple things like this makes me happy.  I don't know what he sees in me, but I'm thankful.

I'm the kind of person na mahilig tumikim ng pagkain na bago sa paningin..

Yung tipong nakikita ko online o kaya on the street.Here are some of my new food adventure:)

*Yema Pastillas*

I bought this online. Katulad ng pangalan nito, pastillas to na may yema sa loob.

Its yummy but a bit hard, compare sa usual pastillas.
Its not that sweet, but its just not impress me. Medyo nakakasawa kasi ito, di katulad ng ibang pastillas na natikman ko. I made my own oreo patillas dati and it was really good(di naman sa pagmamayabang). Siguro kasi mas gusto ko yung medyo malambot saka masmatamis.
Though mukhang hit ito kasi sobrang daming umoorder. Baka di lang sakto sa taste ko pero sa ibang tao e sakto naman:)

* Red Velvet Crinkles with cream cheese filling*

I was hooked with this one. Its soft and chewy, tama lang yung tamis and I cant stop eating.Para kasing di ka makontento sa bawat kagat mo, yung feeling na gusto mo pa. Though medyo bitin sa filling, manipis kasi kaya di mo masyadong malasahan. Pero di ko masyado yung naisip nung kumakain ako, it was that good.  Yun, ubos agad.
