GIMIKAINAN SESSIONS 4: Abella's Residence in Binangonan Rizal

          My family loves grilled dishes.

We started grilling when were very little. My dad would build an improvised griller in Libya and we’d all take a stick and grill any meat that my mom prepared. And it went on until my dad got a really nice job and we bought our very own big grilling equipment. When we went here in the Philippines it’s not really advisable especially when you live in a condo to have a charcoal grilled meat. Not unless you have your own house and a yard to do the grilling. So my mom and dad bought a house in Binangonan, Rizal, and it’s a beautiful house.

The griller that we have right now is actually just a cheap one. We had to buy a cheap one because we were hosting a party one day that we really didn’t have any time to buy the really expensive one the one that works on gas. But we were lucky to buy this one because it’s been ok for the past 6 months. I, together with my best friend Jessica bought this for P3000.00++ in SM MOA and I just want to share a brief story about it. When I saw this griller, I figured it could be disassembled and if we buy it, it wouldn’t be hard to carry it and load it in a trunk. Unfortunately, we thought wrong, it can’t be disassembled and you have to carry the whole thing. You know how MOA is. It’s big and the taxi bay is way too far from the department store. We walked a long way and trying hard to take care of the griller since it’s cheap and it might break easily. I was sweating really bad, kept on complaining why I bought such a thing. But eventually we took a cab, wrap the whole thing with an improvised rope. An etc. it was really bad. Yeah that’s the story of our mighty griller. Hahaha!

So what do we have?

 My dad and my sisters - Rosalie , Liit and Jheii

Made some Tacos - Mom's Request..- basically I just grilled/toasted the taco shells, then filling; ground pork, ranch dressing, onion and ice berg lettuce, bell pepper grilled, tomatoes grilled and cheese. Actually we just used the ones that were available in the house. But you can use ground beef, the for the dressing you can mix cream cheese with dried herbs then sour cream. I grilled the bell peppers because I like the smokey flavor and so as with the tomatoes. 

 So on the grill - we have Hotdogs, Chicken and pork. Usually we do our own version of marinating sauce but since we have those leftovers from last week that we bought at supermarkets. We just finish them off. Maybe next time I can share some ingredients on how we do our marinating sauce.

 The skewered bbq costs P30.00++ each stick in the meat section in your nearest supermarkets. It's actually pork. They also have chicken so you can try that. 

 Tender Juicy hot dogs. We usually buy the Jumbo sized ones. Its bigger and it takes forever to finish. HAHA!

 We actually wanted the inasal flavored ones. but since we saw that there were a lot of garlic cloves in it, we just chose the bbq flavor ones which costs P55.00 each leg part. Its actually affordable since it's really huge. 

 My dad doing his thing with those deliciousness... hahaha! 

 YUP! I'm the FAT GIRL! hahahaha! this is me! hahaha! YUMMY!!!

Short Food Blog : On the Go

It was dinner time and it was really late. 

while waiting for a cab with my sister, we saw this tiny store infront of the taxi bay in Robinson's Manila called Chicken Inasal Bacolod. My sister likes green so the store's color is green which made us to try it more. so we left the line and just went there!

It was like an improved carinderia/canteen style. The table and chairs are made out of mono blocks. They have a Filipino field to it. The table setting was simple they had their condiments there, which is rare in some Philippine restaurants. The regular condiments that Filipinos love are "toyo,suka, patis" that what you get. And we ask for "kalamansi" which is a tiny version of a lemon or lime. and of course  the unending request for tissues. We love using our bare hands to eat so we can't stop asking for tissues(which by the way is so thin that one sheet is not enough! ang nipis nipis na nga konti pa ang binibigay! hayy naku!). 

Our servers were nice and friendly. Service was not bad at all. In fact every time we ask for something they immediately provide us. He even made a gesture of suggesting to try their "Inihaw na pusit" which is a surprise since they were just like a small store. They were recommending dishes already. I love that! They're cool! hahaha! Anyways we really didn't want to eat seafood at that time so we just ordered the regular ones.

We tried their promo which is like a Combo Meal, you get to choose any two viands that you like with on P300.00++ amount. There will be drinks and garlic rice. We also ordered Chopsuey for only P68.00. 

The Chicken was so juicy and tender, the flavors were impeccable, it was char-grilled into perfection. it was served hot and warm. It was really tasty. I liked it. I finish it up and licked the bones as well. 

The Sisig was "bitin", it was too oily and greasy. I like that they had bell peppers in it and green chilies and a lot of onions. The taste was good. I would order another one, (Since Ms. Fat Girl here loves sisig) but less oil perhaps. 

Chopsuey was soggy. The taste was good though. I like that it's not the usual dish that i use to eat at restaurants which is bland and doesn't taste good at all. I wanted more crunchy and crispy veggies but in this dish the veggies were soggy. But again the taste was good. My dad would've liked this dish.

And for our drinks we ordered the Sago't Gulaman P35.00 - It was too sweet for my taste we had to ask for water so that every time we sip a few we had to add small amount of water to lessen the sweetness. 

So here's another short blog! Hope you guys try this one out. It's very affordable and you can enjoy your dinner with less. Thanks for reading! 

Eat HAPPY Everyone!!
