Greetings everyone. Hope all are doing well.
My family likes a lot of dishes. Especially when our father cooked it. Like I've mentioned before, it's our father that does most of the cooking at home. Whether it's for everyday meals or special occasions. I never hear him complain so I guess he loves cooking and he loves his title. He's our chef. During special occasions my brother and brother in law would assist him in the kitchen. We ladies just sit on the table when the food is ready.😁. Neither one of us has the passion for cooking😑. Sadly after our father's mini heart attack he cannot do the cooking anymore. He's okay but he doesn't cook again. It's my youngest brother that inherited the throne. He's our new chef now. Though I miss the foods that my father cooked before, I don't have a choice but to settle for what the new chef has to offer🙁.
One of our favourite dishes is sinigang na isda. ( Sour fish)
We always cook milk fish. Put lady finger, radish, long beans and eggplant to make the dish nicer and healthier.
It's an easy dish to cook. I myself can prepare this meal. Only that I'm not good at taking out the apdo (gall-bladder) of the milkfish. It's a small organ that stores bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. In cleaning the fish it's important to take out this gallbladder. I always end up breaking it and making the dish taste bitter. There was a time when I cooked this fish for the first time and I never knew this gall bladder existed. Imagine how bitter that dish was🥵.
Another dish that we love is tinola.
It's like a chicken soup. We put unripe papaya and moringa. I grew up on this dish. We grow chicken in our house and once in a while my father would slaughter one and make tinola. It's everyone's favourite, especially in rainy weather. It's best to cook tinola using the native chicken. It tastes different compared to the one they sell in the market.
We like many dishes but I just pick two as it's in the top of my favourites. Among the foods that I like, it's the sinigang that I longed for when I went home. Sad to say I wasn't able to eat that dish. We didn't cook it during my stay. I also didn't fuss about it because we were too occupied with other things.
I've tried eating that sinigang here in one of the Filipino stores but it tastes different. They didn't even bother to take out the scale and I never tried it again.
This is my answer to one of the questions in the July blogging contest😬
