Airline Food for the Hungry

I don't usually buy meals onboard the plane, but this meal I pre booked, knowing that it will be difficult for me to get breakfast at a very early time at the airport.

I ordered the Chicken Rice because I love Chicken Rice, ever since I tried it in Singapore. But airline food is different from what we get from hawker centers or from restaurants. It is just to help a passenger get by a hungry phase while traveling, at least to me, that is the case.

I couldn't say I enjoyed it, but, yes, it has made me full on that part of the journey.. It was not something I would look forward to eating again, but maybe if I have no choice again, I would. I didn't like the other varieties, so I really do not have a choice, do I?

Lay over and Hungry

Shop at More Food Adventures

Thank goodness for the AgroBazaar.. a taste of Malaysia at the airport, as I wait for the check in counter to open.. hahaha..

I actually just arrived from Cebu, and I needed to have lunch. Thankfully, I found the money exchange counters, though it took me a while to do so. And when I finally did, I had to find a quiet place to order my very late lunch..

So here's Beef and Chicken Satay, as requested with the very yummy peanut sauce..

And Te Tarik to go with it..

After a few bites, I was able to take a picture of some parts of the AgroBazaar..

I could have bought a few more items, but I have to control my luggage weight as I already knew beforehand that I was carrying more than seven kilos hand carry.. hahaha..

Before I left, I bought one of each kind of the available Samosa.. will have a separate post for them..

Chicken Sunday

>> Sunday, September 10, 2017

Every Sunday, I make it a point to cook Filipino dishes because I miss eating them. I had been craving for Halang2x and the perfect Adobo, so I made some today.

However, both Chicken Recipes required me to take off the skin before cooking. I had been doing this for many years already, but when I came here, I find that even if you take off the skin, the chicken still releases its natural oils. Meaning, there is fat in between the meat.. If I buy their free range chicken, the meat is gummy and difficult to cook. It takes so much time and energy to cook and eat it. So I vowed to buy the easy chicken.

For my 9000 MMK, I bought two huge chickens without wings, as that is how they sell their whole chicken here, no wings :-). For this batch, saved the first layer breast meat, and divided the chickens according to my recipe. The saved meat shall be for my pasta this week. The rib cage and all unconventional parts went to the Halang2x, while the thigh and drumstick as well as the second layer breast meat went to my adobo.. Portion control at best.. And I am eating them without rice..

Unconventional Leche Flan

So I am far away from home, on a diet, but is craving for something I could not buy here. Bought myself the ingredients, and voila.

I think what is really amazing about being a Filipino is that, we can easily find ways, no matter the circumstance, and especially when there is a great need or want.. I have no lanyera for my Leche Flan.. I only have foil, and reusable cans of condensed milk, lol..

They came out okay, and yummy.. Craving satisfied.. I will share the rest to whoever I meet tomorrow..

My Simple Fiesta Spread (No Visitors)

Today, in Cagayan de Oro City, people are celebrating the Feast of St. Augustine, the city's patron saint, in the Catholic faith. I am no Catholic, but my family have been celebrating, wherever we live, feast days such as today.

And although I am millions of miles away, I also celebrate with the people in my city. My mom even asked if I have visitors, and she laughed when I said I am the only one in my room.

Well, these are not grand, compared to what they have in the CDO. I only cooked Chicken Adobo, which, I think is better today, compared to that from my previous as I finally bought a good quality chicken.

I also found prawns so I am totally in a festive mood.. So happy eating..

Oven Toaster White Adobo

It's back to those times when my oven toaster served so many purpose in my life.. hahaha.. Being far away from home just makes you miss so much about home, especially food, that you try to recreate as much of what you miss in the limits of your current situation..

But no problem, my adobo is still adobo, regardless of color, texture and taste, hahaha..

I am glad I have this in my room.

Finally found pork at the market..

What to cook??? Of course, Adobo. But this doesn't even come close, silly me.. No vinegar so I used lemons, no soy sauce so I used fish sauce.. add lots of garlic, and there it is.. hahaha
