Gone Fishing and Eating too!

The Serb husband of a friend paid us a visit last Monday. An unexpected visit that eventually turned into sheer bliss. We invaded a neighbor's pond and we were lucky enough to catch a 7-kilo pangasius/cream dory. It was indeed a prized catch since it served as manna for seven hungry eaters later :-D

From the pond to the pan!

filleted cream dory fried to perfection ( we had two big bowls of this fare :-D)

another dish we made was paksiw
( a traditional filipino recipe with the fish and vinegar as main ingredients )

truly mouth watering!

The Serbian who got his first taste of real filipino dish couldn't help it but exclaim, yummy!

Another Weekend Lunch

I just love Saturdays and Sundays because of this . . .

Let's Eat Tuna Omelette

Gensan is best known for our tuna. According to the wikipedia, tuna is a salt water fish from the family Scombridae, mostly in the genus Thunnus.

Tuna meat/flakes can be sourced out here at much cheaper price. I usually stock on tuna for easy reach during times when I can't go to supermarkets. Just like last week, because of work and other activities overload I had, I was left with no choice but to cook meals with whatever available ingredients in the pantry.

I still have tuna cans and eggs so I decided to make an omelette.

Ingredients

• 3 to 4 eggs
  
• 1 can of water-packed tuna
• garlic, onions, tomatoes
  
• cheese
  
• corn oil
  
• catsup
  

I sauteed in corn oil the garlic, onion, tomatoes and tuna. Seasoned it with a little bit of cheese, salt, and pepper. Once cooked, I set this aside.

I then pour blended eggs into a non-stick pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. While cooking over low heat, I added in the pre cooked tuna mixture. When eggs begin to firm, folded it in half and cooked for a couple more minutes on each side. Then placed on plate and drizzled with sweet blend DM catsup. Presto! I have a yummy fare for breakfast that is best served with rice or bread. :-D

Kung Hei Fat Choi from my Family to Yours!

My family joins the entire community in wishing everyone "Kung Hei Fat Choi!". I took advantage of this celebration by doing some special dishes relevant to the occasion for my kids and husband.

Recipes of the foodies I cooked will be made available in my upcoming posts. Meanwhile, I am sharing with you, my friends, pictures of what I prepared for this evening!

Bon appetit!
