Ludy's Siomai In Cagayan De Oro

If you have read about my Xavier Days post  in my other blog, this is  the siomai that I've been telling you about. I consider every opportunity to eat Siomai from Ludy's as one my luckiest and happiest moments during our Cagayan de Oro vacation. Yeah, unbelievably true!

Ludy's Siomai has this distinct taste that could not be found in any other siomai. I am a certified Siomaholic or Siomai Addict,  whatever you call a person who couldn't resist eating any kind of siomai anytime, anywhere. I just love siomai... what can I do? Siomai from Ludy's  is truly delicious and extraordinary. I can still remember how it tasted and who would ever forget Ludy's Siomai especially when you have already tasted one? 

And right at this very moment, I am drooling  and craving like a pregnant woman by  simply looking at these photos...

A bunch of Siomai from the Ludy's... Happy Me!

One set (3 pieces) costs only P20.00... Isn't affordable?

The siomai from Ludy's are made even delightful with their very own special hot sauce. When you think of trying Ludy's Siomai , please be ready to forget your diet because you'll surely wouldn't get enough. You will definitely bring home some more even if you are already full. I'm serious!

You can find Ludy's Siomai at their main branch at Pabayo Street near Divisoria. They also have carts at Xavier Grade School, Xavier University Campus and Capitol University. They are accepting bulk orders and mind you, they also have the best Tapioca in town. You may call +639328665077.

If there is one thing our family loves doing it's nonetheless but eat. Since Mama and Papa are in-charge of the kitchen they were the ones who decide and prepare what would be the food for the particular meal.

Papa prepared Grilled Pork Liempo for dinner the other night. It was very delicious because he marinated it with special sauce for an hour. It was even made healthy and appetizing  with fresh cucumber.

Pancit Miki Guisado

Cooking is a chore always assigned to my mom and dad at home. Although  I graduated with a background in food but I am  not really into cooking. My contribution is to taste and "evaluate" their finished products and give comments afterwards.  And one of my mom's best recipe is the Pancit Miki Guisado. This recipe is mainly made of pork and pancit miki but you can choose to enhance the taste by  adding  shrimp and of course more vegetables.

Here is mom's Pancit Miki Guisado Recipe:

1/2 K miki (noodles)
1/4 pork perna / adobo cut ( sliced into small parts)
1/4 K shrimp (peeled off)
2 standard sized carrots (sliced )
1 cabbage (sliced)
2 tbsp. sliced onion leaves
1 red bellpepper (sliced)
3 tbsp. of minced garlic
1 onion, thinly sliced
6 tbsps. of cooking oil
2 cups hot  water
Soy Sauce/ Oyster Sauce*
Seasonings (MSG/Magic Sarap)*
Ground Pepper*
Sugar*
Salt*

Procedure:

• Wash fresh Miki in running water to remove its saltiness and oiliness.
• Heat the cooking oil in the skillet. 
• Saute shrimp until it  becomes pink. Set Aside.
• Add  the pork fat until the oil is thoroughly removed.
• Add and saute garlic and onion together with sliced pork
• Add shrimp, cabbage,  carrots, salt, pepper, sugar and seasonings.
• Mix together then set aside 3/4 parts.
• Add hot water then add Miki.
• Occasionally  stir and taste. Adjust the taste  by adding seasonings*.
• When cooked, add the 3/4 parts of the ingredients (usually as topping).
• Garnish with red bell pepper and onion leaves.
• Serve hot. Enjoy!

*Depends on the desired taste.

 It can also be eaten as is or paired with bread. This Pancit Miki Guisado recipe is always part of our weekly diet because the ingredients are readily available and cooking can be done easily.

Lechon Baboy (Roasted Pig)

My  last night with Sue and Jiwon  before they will go home to Korea are supposed to be spent eating a yummy lechon baboy. Sue wanted Jiwon to taste it but I was informed  a little late.  Although we tried looking for a restaurant in Davao who serves lechon  biik  but we could not find any. That is why we ended up  eating at a  Korean Restaurant.

I know  Sue and Jiwon will be following me through my blogs  so  I purposely add Google Translator in all my blogs for them to easily  translate my posts in their own language. Anyway, speaking of Lechon Baboy; prior to Sue and Jiwon's arrival in Davao I had an opportunity to ate lechon ( all by myself... just giving in to my craving) at a Lechon House along Chavez Street and also during my Uncle's birthday celebration.

Sue and Jiwon, don't worry the next time you visit Davao I will let you eat lechon baboy.  Looking forward to have this one on Bella's birthday too..wink**

Pork Bulgogi by Sue and Jiwon

Pork Bulgogi... Sue's Recipe

Jiwon, Myself and Sue

My visiting Korean friends Sue and Jiwon wanted the family to have a taste of Korean food. And during the very first day of her stay here in Davao, Sue went to a Korean grocery store to  buy some ingredients for her Pork Bulgogi recipe amidst the rain and the flood.

According to Jiwon and Sue, Bulgogi recipe can either be pork or beef. This is one of the very common and also a popular  Korean food because it is  easy to prepare.  Together with Bren, Sue marinated the pork lean meat  with Bulgogi Sauce, more onions, garlic and other ingredients.This can also be mixed with your favorite vegetables and can also be grilled or stir-fried.

Although  we wanted to have this during our dinner the other night but since we are soaked wet in a heavy rain, Sue let Jiwon cooked it this morning. The taste is good and the meat is so tender. It has a perfect blend of sweetness and spiciness.  The whole family really had a good  day because we started our morning with this delectable Pork Bulgogi made out of love by Sue and Jiwon. Kamsa Hamnida!

Lunch at Mandarin Tea Garden

Hubby and I  both love Chinese food. We used to frequent most of the Chinese Restaurants here in the city when I was still working at the downtown area. But now that I already have Bella,  we can only eat out or even go out on a date "when necessary." It means that being on a date is only a side trip to our intended purpose of going out.

Speaking of  "necessary", hubby took a leave from work last week to finalize some transactions with the bank. Since the occasion calls for it, before heading home hubby and I ate the "necessary" lunch at the nearby branch of Mandarin Tea Garden.

I ordered Pork Asado Rice Toppings while hubby ordered his ever-favorite Beef Brisket Rice Toppings. We also added Pork Siomai to our order.

We were so full and  very delighted with our lunch and of course very happy with the opportunity to go on a "date" even just for a while. We did a little shopping  for Bella  and have his cellular phone repaired before going home.

Pork Adobo with Pineapple Chunks

This is one of my mom's  specialty recipe. I was out that day so I didn't have the chance to see how she cook her Pork Adobo with Pineapple Chunks. I think this is just a usual Pork Adobo  recipe but with a twist of Pineapple chunks which made this dish very appetizing.

best served with rice

 My hubby doesn't really like the pineapple but  I so love it. The sweet and sour combination of pork adobo and pineapple is just so perfect for my palate. Macky has even eaten  what's left on his Tito Bren's share. Good job mother and thank you for cooking with TLC.
