I remember eating this dish when I was in Dubai, working at the Dubai International Airport. There was a restaurant there that offered two varieties of this dish. My favorite was the Pan-Fried Fish, I don’t know what kind of fish they use but I always order it every time we eat there. It is a simple yet flavorful dish, crunchy at the outside, soft in the inside. I was thinking of cooking this dish for a long time now, but I was not sure what type of fish to use. Since cream dory was easy to get and not too pricy, I decided to use it in this dish. Ingredients Cayenne Garlic powder Pepper Salt ..read more

Another budget ulam recipe that will certainly impress your budget conscious partner. Gising-gising has many varieties, this version uses Sigarilyas in Tagalog or Winged Beans in English. It is a great side dish for anything grilled or fried. For me it is best paired with grilled fish, the creaminess of the Gata or coconut milk is just perfect with the smokiness of the grilled fish. Since it is Monday today, it is my turn to cook. I wanted to give my wife The Peach Kitchen time to rest. So, I woke up early and went to the market. I had no idea what to cook, I usually decide what to cook once ..read more

Being a husband of a foodie, we would often make plans to travel to different countries because of their food. We wanted to visit and try food from India, Vietnam, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea. Back in 2019 we had the opportunity to travel to Taiwan. Taiwan was just an hour and half flight from Manila. Yet, it was like travelling to a different planet. The place was vibrant, and the food was amazingly different. We tried as much Cantonese food as we can, eating at different restaurants and street stalls. During our travel to Taiwan, we were careful in ordering food for Twinkle and my mot ..read more

Before a pandemic swept the world, we would travel often as a family. We have made some of our most wonderful memories away from home. As stressful as traveling is, with the planning, packing, and expense, it’s one of the best things ever. I can truly relax when we reach our destination, especially when I’m with my family. I feel alive when we tour new places and taste new flavors.  Now, we seldom have time (or the budget) for such travel, particularly now that we have so many pets to take care of. Although I long for the feeling of a true summer vacation, I still find ways to be adventur ..read more

I deserve this! Is a common phrase we hear today. It is to reassure ourselves that we have the right to purchase what we want because we work hard for it. I too was guilty of doing this, during payday I would check out items in my online cart or I would treat myself to an expensive restaurant. But after years of doing this, living from payday to payday. I realized that most of the things that I have purchased have no value right now. By the 3rd week of each month, I ended up with no money in my wallet and my saving account was still zero. I needed to change drastically, but at that point I di ..read more
