Filipino Fusion

​I don’t eat meat anymore so I have to make my palate happy 😊 because I’m still a foodie 🙌 Just a pescatarian 🎣 now ✅

Above is fried smelt from Grill City 🌆 at Seafood City in Union City. These tasty little fishies are the equivalent of bacon 🥓 to me back when I used to be a meat eater.

I pair them with 3 Asian style cooked eggs 🍳, mixed frozen veggies 🥗 , fresh cut up tomato 🍅 , cut up mini Filipino bananas 🍌, furikake flakes, with a couple drizzles of Maggi seasoning. Mix it all up and it’s like something exotic and exciting from Hawaii served between lunch and dinner time 👍 which is what we Filipinos call “merienda” which translates to “snack” or “light meal.”

Happy 😊 Eating 😋 and Mabuhay 🌺

Sunday Sopes

I will be teaching myself how to make Mexican sopes today based on notes 📝 I took from my church friends Yolanda and Francisco. I’m not YouTubing anything and just gonna go old school 🏫 and test out this whole process. 

Yolanda y Francisco were very thorough and told me where to shop and what to buy. I was with my clients yesterday when I purchased these items and I told them once I’m happy with my home made sopes I will also cook for them. I told them I’m gonna experiment with the dough and make some simple ones and some fancy ones. They’re like “Hurry up Ateh already” lol 😂 I’m like cálmate chicas 🐣 I need to learn 👩🏻‍🍳

Also, I’m glad I pulled the trigger on these pickled veggies. They are squash blossoms and I ate them straight out of the jar. They are a milder tasting pickled veggie and I love them more than kimchi so I am replacing kimchi until further notice 👍

This is how the sopes are supposed to look like just fyi:

I’ll update this post when I’m satisfied with experimenting in my test kitchen. Until then Peace ✌️ out ✅
