Spicy Bhurmese chicken with tomatoes. According to my roommate this wasn’t spicy enough. I used only two small chili. My mouth burned after every bite. One can only imagine how hot Bhurmese dishes usually are. But it was good, nothing revolutionary though. It was like spicy chicken menudo sans the potatoes and carrots.

Calamares with garlic mayo dip. It wasn’t so bad. But I don’t think I’ll be making these again soon as the preparation time is too long (2 hours total). I had to clean the icky squids myself. I had a Swiss Roll for dessert.

Braised Salmon and Leeks. Taken today. Probably the healthiest dish I’ve made. Just added a few drops of olive oil. The fish was steamed on top of the leeks. I think this would make a great homemade date meal.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Salmon. Taken May 19, 2008. I swear that’s what this dish is called. I didn’t realize leeks are yummy. This one was quick and easy.

Pancit Palabok. Taken May 25, 2008. It wasn’t too orange because I didn’t have atsuete. I used red Indian curry powder instead and it ended up a little hot. I also didn’t have chicharon so I just used dried fish flakes.

Macaroons. Taken May 22, 2008. A few friends volunteered to do the quality assurance test and I hope they honestly liked it. :p

Sweet and sour fish. Taken May 13, 2008. The recipe recommended a whole fish but I was cooking for just one hence just two fillets.

Baked Tortang Talong. Taken April 21, 2008. I had to use 2 eggplants because the grocery store didn’t have long ones. I didn’t like it too much. Maybe I’ll use beef instead of pork next time.

Baked macaroni. Taken April 3, 2008. Made in about 2 hours. I just discovered that the microwave could also be used as an oven. I’ve yet to let others taste this and confirm that it’s absolutely delicious.

Taken last September 25, 2007. Chop suey with Vietnamese fish sauce as a substitute for patis as I cannot find a Filipino store here in Hiyoshi.

My first chicken adobo in Japan! Taken October 2, 2007. It tasted so good I decided to learn other things to cook. Ever since that day I found joy in my little kitchen here in Hiyoshi.
