Peppy Thai Deli

NEWFLASH
Peppy Thai is on the "MOVE". From their original location along the Diversion Road they will transfer in front of the Jaro (Big) market and is set to open on April 1, 2009.
My first blogpost about Peppy Thai was just what about I heard from others. Even my pictures were just borrowed.But finally, I've been able to visit the famous restaurant.
It was around 1130am that we finally got there, just in time for a still now so crowded lunch hour. We had no idea what to order but it was made easy since they serve turo-turo style and luckily the owner happens to be an acquaintance. So without really knowing what the name of the dishes wee, we just point what we seem to like plus some suggestions from the owner.
After getting our numbered hat, we settle for a table between a garden aquarium and a tree carving on the wall. Now customers start to flow in and those who cannot be accommodated at the main floor can go up the much breezy second floor.
Our order arrived barely five minutes and they all looked yummy. We had fried rice, pandan chicken, tofu, kinilaw and their best seller, fried squid. Each looked appetizing even the fried rice but of course I wont let this visit pass by without taking some photographs, to the curiousity of the waiters and some customers.
Their fried rice was bitin; I think can eat three plateful of those even with all the viands, minus the egg of course.
Pandan chicken was crispy and had a hint of coconut milk but the sweet chili sauce made it more appetizing.
We had this tofu since it was a staple order for all customers and I wanted to have vegetables too.
Looks like kilawin but the pork loin was boiled and mixed with spices and calamansi juice making it the bomb!
Finally, we know knew why this fried squid is a bestseller! I can rave about it non-stop but still wont do justice.
My guess was right from the start (it would be around 400 hundred), this lot costs only PhP376. Now I'm not sure if we had discounts for I didn't ask. It was really a great experience eating here for the first time and I’m sure it won’t be my last.
Now would you believe me, if I say I can finish this good-for-two order ..... all by myself?
Going there? Here's a simple map of the area. If care to ride public transport, just take STA. BARBARA jeepneys at SM City terminal or any jeepney that would traverse the highway.

Ultimate Ilonggo Favorite: KBL Kadyos, Baboy, Langka

K.B.L. or Kadyos, Baboy, Langka is the ultimate favorite dish of most Ilonggos. It is also one of the most missed native dishes as kadyos and the souring ingredient, batwan , are hard to find when outside of the Ilonggo region.  Basically, it is boiled/stewed pork dish owing its "deliciousness" to the combination of the soft and tender pork, the tamed sourness of  batwan  and the  malinamnam na sabaw .  One of the "secrets" of the malinamnamn na sabaw , is the fact that the pork, whether just the plain meat or pata (hocks) are first grilled or broiled. This gives the broth a rather smoky taste that makes it more appetizing.. Learn how to make the Ilonggo dish KBL (Kadyos, Baboy, at Langka) with the recipe below. Ingredients 1 kilo Pata (pork hocks) or pork cubes, GRILLED and sliced into bite size pieces  1 unripe Jack fruit, cubed 2 cups pigeon pea (kadyos) 6-8 pieces batwan fruit  (or tamarind powder) 1 piece por...

Easy Century Tuna Recipes

If you're looking for simple, easy  and delicious Century Tuna recipes online, congratulations, you've found it right here! How about spicy tuna sisig or tuna sinigang ? Maybe stir fried tuna with pickles or just yang chow fried rice .  I love Century Tuna from its flakes in oil variety, the spicier the better, but when I discovered the versatility of its solid variant, it became an obsession. At first I was just into the usual tested recipes; pasta and sandwich filling, but then it got simpler – I just eat it straight from the can! Usually with a piece of bread or an apple. I just add a few drops of vinegar to spice it up a bit. Then came the experiments. Yup I got tired of that habit that one day, I decided to test my skills in the kitchen. Serendipity, you might call it yet most of them turned into good recipes that I have shared now and then. Satisfying my Palabok cravings had me experiment on this recipe on the spot. With Century Tuna in lieu of the us...

Lauya nga Pata sang Baboy

It was a typical fiesta scene in a barrio that I got to taste this cholesteroliffic and delicious pork dish. I can still vividly remember that decades old gastronomic memory - very tender and almost fall of the bone pata, vivid orange sour and sticky broth, large chunks of unripe  langka;  all in one big large  kaldero !  And it's been really a while since I've tried to recreate that taste memory and a few days ago, it was worth another try. Here's my simple recipe for Pata Lauya
