Big Ben’s Kitchen Tapang Imus Eggs Benedict

I will make a bet this is the first time you heard about bottled tapa. Yes you heard it right bottled tapa? Tapa can be sold in a bottle to my amazement. Sharing this yummy breakfast recipe how I use it straight from the bottle.

Eggs Benedict is a traditional American breakfast that was first popularized in New York City. It consists of two halves of an English muffin each of which is topped with bacon or ham, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. This is my version using tapang Imus.  

Ingredients:
2 english muffins, sliced in half, buttered, and toasted
4 egg, poached
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small white onion, sliced
salt and pepper, to taste
2 large egg, yolks only
3 tsps lemon juice
2/3 cup butter, clarified
salt, to taste
cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)
1 bottle Big Ben’s Kitchen Tapang Imus

Procedure:

Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Sauté onions until translucent. Set aside.

Hollandaise: Bring water to a simmer in a small pot. Combine yolks and lemon juice in a stainless steel bowl; whisk vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture has thickened and doubled in volume. Place the bowl over the pot of simmering water and whisk continuously. Do not allow mixture to overheat. Check by touching the bottom of the bowl from time to time; you should be able to touch it comfortably.

Gradually pour in clarified butter in a slow, steady stream, vigorously whisking until thick and smooth. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.

Place Big Ben’s Kitchen Tapang Imus  on top of each muffin. Top each with caramelized onions and a poached egg. Drizzle with hollandaise and garnish.

Almusa ya niso :)

The tapa is surprisingly very soft and almost melts in your mouth. 

It taste like the typical a bit salty tapa. I prefer my tapa a bit sweet but nevertheless this is worth the price @P200 a bottle.

Baba's Spoon Smoked Mussels Linguine

A few weeks ago got a message on Instagram from Baba's Spoon to try their product. Bottled tuyo and bangus is everywhere but bottled mussels much more smoked mussels - first time hearing about it.

Baba's Spoon Smoked Mussels comes in 200g bottle. It contains pickled fresh mussels in olive oil, garlic, chilli pepper and spices. The mussels are smoked in mango woods that gives that perfect distinct smoky flavor. Once you open the bottle the smell is reminiscent of tinapa. Upon tasting the mussels are bit sour but every bite is bursting with smoky flavor that makes it very yummy plus the hint of spiciness is just perfect.

This is the dish I thought of using it for - Smoked Mussels Linguine

Ingredients:

4 tbsps virgin olive oil

1/2 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1/4 cup water

2 pcs tomatoes, chopped

salt and black pepper

1 pound linguine pasta

1 bottle Baba’s Spoon Smoked Mussels

Procedure:

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and pepper flakes and sauté until light golden, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is thick and flavors blend, stirring frequently. Add Baba’s Spoon Smoked Mussels. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in pasta and serve immediately.

Baba's Spoon Smoked Mussels is a Cavite product definitely worth a try.

Priced @P200 per bottle it comes in two variety. Regular and spicy.

Kok's Manok

Lutong Cavite received a message from Koko Tamura, one of the two owners a few weeks ago for this product free taste - Kok's Manok.

Store's cute, catchy and well-thought logo 

Opened last August 31, 2013, Kok’s Manok is a take-out restaurant that already gained a following in Imus, Cavite just a month after its opening.

The store

Time to see and taste what this latest brand of roasted chicken in Cavite has to offer.

Classic Whole Roast - P 189

The VERDICT: The roast chicken is VERY flavorful even on the inside and stays true to its tagline “So Juicy, So Lambot !” Flavor is well-distributed, and the skin roasted to perfection since it is cooked in a rotisserie. With its taste and texture Kok's Manok will definitely give long established lechon manukan a very stiff competition. It's quality is comparable to Chooks to Go and Kenny Roger's but with a different taste.

Freshly roasted Kok's Manok

Like any traditional lechon manok Kok’s Manok is also served with special sauce and catsup but we wish soon they will also offer gravy plus side dishes like mashed potato, corn and carrots or coleslaw which we bet will surely boost its sales especially Kok's Manok is more high-end in terms of quality.  

 P69 pesos for a quarter of this yummy chicken with rice is definitely a steal.  

So if ever you get a chance to go to Imus don’t forget to visit Kok’s Manok. This would be perfect this yuletide season especially as a holiday treat.

Just add P10 for the Garlic or Spicy Flavor.

This roasted chicken treat is highly recommended and definitely worth a visit and try.
