Steamed Pork Siomai (Dumplings)

Posted under Chinese Dishes, Meat

One of my favorite Chinese food is the dumpling (or also known as siomai locally). Siomai is a dish wrapped in a molo wrapper, a thin flour-based sheets that can be bought in the grocery’s frozen section. The common meat filling I know is pork and beef. Since I am craving for it and want to try preparing and cooking it, here it is – the homemade steamed Pork Siomai (dumplings).

Vegetarian Strips a La Pobre

Posted under Vegetables

A month ago, I tried to be a vegetarian for a week and see what’s the effect. And, it was a good experience. I got to plan my meal for the day, eat nutritious foods, and restricted myself from eating junk foods and drinking softdrinks. And part of the menu preparation is the going to the market to get fresh fruits and vegetables for supplies which I enjoyed so much.

This Vegetarian Strips a La Pobre, which I just felt naming it that way, is one of the dishes I prepared during the said experimental period. The vegetables used here are available at any season in the market and is cheap, so no need to worry for the budgeting because this is a super simple vegetarian dish.

Coffee-Oatmeal Cookies

Posted under Pastries, Snacks

I have always been wanting to bake cookies and finally, here it is. I decided to create my own mix of cookie dough. I prepared this for a specific purpose, keep me full during the dawn. Well, that’s why I thought of doing a coffee-based cookie with oatmeal. Coffee for keeping me up and oatmeal is rich in fibers… just being “health-conscious.” Like other cookies, it’s easy to prepare and with similar steps.
