I only ever had chicken binakol. Basically a chicken soup. Not bad, but not my fave for Sunday living.
I could never find a good wine to compliment it
My wife owned and managed a restaurant in Yokohama for quite some time. She often had Pinoy food fiesta's just for the local Pinoy communitiy. Now those were always seat fillers.
Tonight we had mongo guisado with grilled sea-bass.
I've got to admit that I just Love mongo (stewed mung beans) . The taste is just fab.
Now my own special ingredient is to add some beansprouts. It then becomes a real Wow!!!!
It's unbelievably cheap, but what a great taste. There's easily enough for tomorrow, and guess what........it tastes even better the next day.
Normally I mop it up with fresh crusty bread instead of rice.
i wish every meal cud be a sunday lunch .. but if it isnt bloody sandwhiches or cooked in under two minutes its no good.. we just dont have that mediteranean or asian out look on family meal times.. we move to fast and want every thing then and there.. i think its time to slow lifes pace down a little or rather a bloody lot and start enjoying those lovely 2 hour lbreak fasts 2 hour lunches and 3 hour evening meals.. oops i guess that may rule out working for a living ha ha or going continental
are traditional sunday dinners going out the window.
yes it has changed,...when my husband married a filipina
he got the best of both dishes
''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
its hard to have a sunday dinner now, i remember my mum cooking for all of us so hard it was for her, i would rather just site when we want and eat what we want too
Hmm ... ARE traditional Sunday dinners "going out the window" ?
... don't know, really ... since we tend to go to McDonalds for Sunday 'lunch'.
But one thing's for sure ... this COUNTRY'S definitely "going to the dogs !!!"
I can eat filipino food everyday, but sunday roast can't be beat

If you can't say something nice. SHUT UP!. Simple.
Well except for the KFC
yes except with the take-aways...it's my pregnancy cravings

well more like sunday dinner as we tend to be out in the day, but prep the veggies and set the timer on a beef roast or chicken, get the cassava cake ready and come into that lovely ccoking smell , we both enjoy wine so something approprate for the food and off we go, keeping the little ones on station long enough can be a problem though hehehehee.
I am lucky that Ligaya worked for Chinese, Malay and English families in Singapore and Hong Kong so can cook many cuisines. My personal favourite is still Malaysian beef rendang and roti... yummy although we used to love visiting the "cook yourself at the table" Korean barbacue buffets.... all you can eat for about £7 each..
Live your life for a reason and don't worry be happy
if you don't know where you are going then any road will do!!
Scott, you're making me hungry. And so jealous.
Beef Rendang, one of my all time favourites.
When I lived in KL I would eat this nearly every other day.
When we cook at home we always use Aberdeen Angus shin beef. If you can get it just try it, wonderful every time. BTW I reckon it's probably the best beef for calderetta, cooks down a real treat for an ultra-soft and tasty beef.
With wines I've always been a big fan of French wine, but recently I've discovered something special. Fetzer Valley Oaks White Zinfandel Rosé from California and available at Waitrose. Well worth trying, and goes really great with SE Asian foods especially with those extra spicy dishes.
Wait, I nearly forget the Korean BBQ.
When we lived in Japan we would often eat 'Yakiniku' , Korean BBQ, and we loved it.
All sorts of thinly sliced meats with sauce and a shredded cabbage with a wonderful light sauce.
We haven't eaten that since we left Japan, but if you know a place please share to us. We would definitely travel 100's of miles to experience that Korean BBQ again.
Pleeeeeeeeeze share
