I liked the steamed fowl better than frying or making an inasal out of it. Well maybe because steaming it preserves the taste. Put on a pandan leaf and hmmmmm! Delicious.

YumYum! I thought cooking was intimidating. Then there would really come a point in time whe nyou'd be helping out in the kitchen and you'll just learn from it. Although some of the procedures here are also done in some parts of the world, it's always lutong Pinoy that I would vouch for! Love your own! Haha!

Cooking may seem to be complicated but if you have the knack for it, you'll easily learn. Try to start with the basics - learn how to saute or 'gisa'/'ginisa' in our native tongue and everything else follows.

Another thing is practice until you perfect one dish then eventually experiment on other dishes. That's the art of cooking.:)

I am more of a "PACHAM" type of cook. PACHAM means... Pa Chamba - Chamba. I only cook good food randomly. Lol!

If thats the case then I'll cook food until I perfect it. Lol. My wife tells me that sometimes my recipe is good. Most of the time not.

maybe considered basic because you jus have to boil the water with meat/shrimps/fish and then put sinigang mix and thats it :D
