Fat Girl's Recipe : Tortilla Sandwiches

Food when you're alone at home!


Ok.. so i live alone in manila for the time being.
Being away from my family means I need to learn on my own. 
I'm not really used to cooking for myself and doing things alone, but these past few days the only one that i'm with is my Godmother. 


So here's another recipe which you will surely love and basically do it when you're not wanting to have a heavy dinner or you don't want to eat rice. And you can use any left overs like chicken breats, any ground meat if you have those, or the ensalata you just ate last night something like that.


I call it TORTILLA SANDWICHES. it is very cheap and very easy to make. 

Ingredients:
Totilla Chips/ Wraps - I bought mine in French baker which costs only P70.00 it has 6pcs.
Ham - Any will do, i used the ones that are canned since that the only ham that i have here
Tuna - i used the corned tuna from century tuna, the spicy one. 
Bacon - i used the left overs that i ate for breakfast
Onion-  1 is enough and thinly slice it
Cucumber - juliene or circles 
Tomato - julien or circles
Cheese - shredded 
Mayo 


Procedure:
1. Lay the wraps in a flat surface (we have 6 wraps, so lay 3 wraps), spread mayo into each wrap.
2. Put Ham on one wrap, tuna on the 2nd one and bacon on the last wrap.
3. Next spread the onion, cucumber and tomato onto each wraps.
4. add the shredded cheese.
5. then cover it with another tortilla wrap.
6. heat a pan, and warm each side of the wrap until the cheese melts and they're stick together. 


And there you have it..


Eat HAPPY Everyone!!

RANT BLOG 2 : RECIPE

and again.. here's another blog of undesirable circumstances..

i'm not sure which is worst, this blog or the other blog. 

so me and my friend Jessica went to Robinsons Manila, she wanted me to go with her to buy groceries and so i did. 

i haven't taken my lunch yet and i wanted to eat in a restaurant that i haven't tried for a long time or haven't tried at all. 

Jessica said that there are delicious menu from Recipe, why don't we give it a try. There was something that I really don't like about that resto for some reason. If you're outside and you take a look at that resto, it is too boring, it was too gloomy for me. 

As we got in the restaurant, they were able to greet us properly, but was not able to assist us in getting a sit. there were no smile on any of their faces. They were snobbish! I don't know if it's about how we looked at that time, or what! It was a sunday and I was too lazy to dress up and be pretty. So i wear my leggings and a normal shirt without any makeup on and it was just simple. Those crew were like staring from head to foot like non-stop. They were looking at us like they were wondering "anong ginagawa ng mga tao dito mukha namang walang pera." that's how i see it. Judging by the way YOU GUYS STARE AT US!

The place was not very clean. It still had dust at the side, there were unnecessary stuff that were put on the side which is unattractive. In every restaurant there's a bussing station or the part where the orders come out, what they have is like a very long and short height window and it was really boring and it was really a wreck.

Why are there people like that? Why are you being judgmental, don't you guys have any manners? Stereotyping is BAD~! And I hate it! you guys are not fit to be servers. 

Recipe is sort of a Filipino type of restaurant, based on the menu that they gave us most of it is Filipino dishes. Their house specialties are Kare Kare, Gising Gising, Crispy Tilapia, Lechon Kawali and many more. We just wanted to end the hunger that we were feeling at that time. 

So here where the tragedy starts..

Our server,who was unfriendly, lazy and worst server of all time, was not able to provide us any description of the food or any or those stuff. After ordering, he was not able to repeat our orders and make sure he got it correctly. HE was the worst server!

What did we have?

GisingGising - It is chopped beans with coconut milk. It was not over cooked. I really liked this dish. I would order another one. Presentation wise. Not really good. It came out in a bowl like you were eating in a canteen.

Lechon Kawali - I AM A MEAT LOVER! I LOVE MEAT! THERE'S A REASON WHY I TITLED MYSELF AS A FAT GIRL! THIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST LECHON KAWALI I'VE EVER TASTED. IT CAME WITH A SWAMP CABBAGE OR KANGKONG. THE LEAVES TASTED SAND. IT WAS LIKE SPOILED. I ATE ONE SLICE OF PORK AND THEN THERE IT WAS! THE FREAKING INSECT! NOT ONLY DID THE PLACE WAS UNCLEANED THERE WERE TINY ROACHES THAT WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE CHAIRS/ SOFAS, THERE WAS A WEIRD INSECT IN MY FOOD! AN INSECT! IT WAS VERY TINY BUT IT WAS DISGUSTING! WE ASKED ONE SERVER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE LECHON KAWALI. AND SHE SAW IT TOO! SHE ASKED TO CHANGE THE ORDER BUT WE DECIDED TO GET A DISH. WE LET IT PASS! NOW AFTER CHANGING THE MENU, THOSE PEOPLE AT THE KITCHEN STARTED STARING AT US! LIKE "napaka arte naman nitong mga babaeng ito! nakita pa un?" IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY/BUSINESS, WE ARE TRAINED TO SERVE FOOD CLEAN! PUT THAT IN YOUR HEAD SIR! BEFORE EVEN GIVING/SERVING THE FOOD, CHECK IT! GOT THAT? GEEZ! HAVE RESPECT! NANGLALASON BA KAYO?

Crispy Tilapia - It was crunchy, crispy and delicious! good come back. I like their intake on this dish. it is very easy to eat, no need to use your hands to eat it. I'd order another one! Very good dish!

Servers were murmuring which is very rude. As soon as they see me staring at them, their mouth/lips starts to murmur. Not a good and liable servers. MAGRESIGN NA KAYO! 

If the leaders/ managers of the RECIPE Restaurants reads this blog, It would be good , so that they know what the people under them are doing in their restaurant. Recipe can do so much more. I hope this will serve as a lesson to all of them!

Make it count! LEARN and SERVE WELL!

Thanks for reading my RANT BLOG!

Fat Girl's Recipe : Beef Binagoongan

one of my favorite filipino dishes is Pork Binagoongan but since yesterday we had pork already why not make it beef... im not sure what it might taste like at first but i had to know..

BEEF BINAGOONGAN

Ingredients:
1 kilo beef cubes, (might be cool if you could get the ones that we use for caldereta, with bones)
2 cups bagoong alamang (im using Connie's Kitchen DULONG-Anchovy Fry)
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1 head of garlic, minced
1 big onion, minced
2 chili peppers, minced
½ cup vinegar
4 tablespoons brown sugar
½ cup water
Procedure:
Use a pressure cooker to softened the meat.
When beef is tender, put in on the side and sauté (use the corn oil from the Anchovy fry with a little butter) garlic, onion, and chili peppers then mix.
Add in the bagoong and cook while stirring for 5minutes.
Add in the tomato paste.
Pour in the vinegar and stir well.
Add in the sugar and let simmer for 10 minutes or until cooked.
Season to taste.

You're probably wondering why there's tomato paste.. its because my sister (jheii) doesn't eat bagoong. so i figured to put tomato paste since she eats practically anything, as long as its cooked with tomato paste. And the reason for using Anchovy instead of Shrimp, is because beef is more tender and the more it can absorb the saltiness of the anchovy fry and the more you can work out with the dish itself. when you use pork its better to pair it with shrimp paste. and plus I've never used it before. hahaha! Anyways.. It tastes delicious. Pair it with Plain rice and you're good to EAT!

Enjoy!
