Gat Shake's Takoyaki

Craving for takoyaki? Finally a food shop is selling it in the city. 

Priced @P7 each 

Your takoyaki cravings can finally be satisfied by Gat's Shake. Remember the shake booth near San Roque Parish Church in front of Regal Dining? The shake selling was relocated now inside and the former shake booth was turned into the takoyaki booth. For its price don't expect chopped octopus but instead just like in the malls it has chopped cabbage, carrots plus bonito flakes on top.

Apple Fritters

What to do with leftover apples after Christmas...

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup cake flour

1 tablespoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1/3 cup whole milk

4 teaspoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon orange juice

2 teaspoons grated orange peel

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup chopped peeled tart apple

Oil for frying

Confectioners' sugar

PROCEDURE:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, butter, orange juice, peel and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in apples.

In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1/4 in. of oil to 375°. Drop batter by a tablespoon or two into oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm. Yield: 2-3 servings.

Baked Salmon

An expensive, healthy and yummy dish suited for the holidays.

Baked Salmon is a fish dish of salmon slab topped with cream cheese and more cheese then baked until crust turns lightly brown.

Ingredients:

1 salmon fillet

salt and pepper

juice of half a lemon

Cheese Garlic-Mayo topping:

½ block cream cheese - softened

3 tbsp mayo

1 to 1 1/2 tbsp garlic chopped finely (if you want it more garlicky, just add a bit more)

3/4 cup Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup for the cream mixture and 1/4 for the topping)

Salt and pepper to taste

breadcrumbs (optional. I like it w/ breadcrumbs, but the one served at Conti's does not have this)

Garnish - Buttered Vegetables:

mixed vegetables

broccoli flowerets

2 tbsp butter

salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

Rub salmon fillet with salt and pepper, then lemon juice for about 20 minutes

While salmon is marinating, mix thoroughly the cream cheese, mayo, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. set aside.

Pan fry salmon about 2 to 3 mins on both sides

Preheat toaster/turbo. Assemble the fried fish on baking tray, then top w/ cheese garlic mayo mixture, sprinkle w/ remaining parmesan cheese and bread crumbs, bake in toaster/turbo for about 10 to 15 mins at 175C.

Saute mixed vegetables w/ 2 tbsp butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Put out the baking tray and surround the baked salmon with butter vegetables. 

Mi Yu Teppanyaki Restaurant

Mi Yu Teppanyaki Restaurant is the first and only Japanese restaurant in the city. The first week of its opening the menu was a failure. I will never forget the burnt taste of yakisoba and the bland fried rice when we ordered our first takeout. The two succeeding times was okay and satisfying. The last time was July 8 wherein everything was so yummy.

July 8, 2016

Decided to have a takeout lunch today since too lazy too cook and it ended up as a huge disappointment.

December 18, 2016

Total for these two items - P279

The ramen tasted like water. The fried tofu-like which I loved in the first picture is missing this time. The shrimp tempura di na makilala. Guess the batter was not perfectly made like in the previous order that it remained intact even submerged in broth. 

The bento is now placed in a lesser presentable carton box wherein the tonkatsu and vegetables tasted very bland. No fresh fruits anymore instead two pieces of small oily cake that I find too sweet. Overall there is no single hint of Japanese flavor in both dishes. It feels like I wasted my money today and should have opted buying at Jollibee may sukli pa sana ako.

I think it will take me a long time for me to have the courage to dine in again here after this traumatic takeout experience. #SorryNotSorry 

If one is in restaurant business it is must for the owners to maintain the quality of food they offer at any cost #JustSaying
