Crispy Pata

Crispy Pata

I remember fondly the times when my father and mother would visit me at the dorm during my college years. They traveled at least five hours round trip to bring me some change of clothes and some of my favorite dishes that my father cooked himself. Crispy Pata was always one of those dishes I always requested.

Filipino Pork Steak Adobo with 7Up

Filipino Adobo is a popular dish in the Philippines. Every region has its own version. I chose to change it up a little by cooking it with 7Up. This flavorful and delicious dish is excellent with steamed rice.

Taco Tuesday Tacos Al Pastor

Taco Tuesday is a day to eat tacos at a discounted price. My favorite is the simple street tacos with carne asada or al pastor. Top with onion, cilantro and fresh lime juice. So simple yet it is so good.

I've been thinking of Japanese food, specifically teriyaki and sushi rolls. I just can't get the savory sweetness of the teriyaki out of my mind. So to satisfy my cravings, I placed an order for delivery. I have to say, my palate is more than delighted.
