Lugaw, Beef Cheeks and Tripe Combination . To those who are asking where is the lugaw that went with my Crispy Tokwa’t Baboy that was posted the other day here it is. On this version of my lugaw I have to do with what is readily available ingredients on my location. I could always cooked arroz caldo where chicken is readily available whenever one’s location but Tokwa’t Baboy goes best with beef tripe lugaw. I have been keeping the  beef cheeks  and  tripe  for some time now, waiting for the right time to cook my lugaw.

Crispy Tokwa’t Baboy, Crispy Fried Pork with Tofu . Tokwa at baboy is synonym to lugaw and arroz caldo . Tokwa at baboy is served as a side dish for lugaw or arroz caldo .

Baked Tinapa . Tinapa what-ever type of fish is one of our favorite Pinoy fish dish , but it cooking leave’s a smoky fishy odor on your kitchen walls and curtains that will linger for days. Today I am again craving for tinapa but the last time I cooked it, that smoky fishy odor even get into my office shirt. Well I have thought of cooking tinapa in an oven to reduced the smoky fishy odor and today it’s time to try it and let see if we could at least minimize the odor beside making it as yummy or even better than frying the tinapa . To bake the tinapa I needed some aromatic ingredients that will go with my bake tinapa but I found out that I have anything special in the ref and cupboard except onions, tomatoes and lemons. So I have to stick to the basic Pinoy ingredients and it return it is more authentic Pinoy dish , the final product? It did come out great and the tinapa smoky fishy odor was confined inside the oven and it was overwhelmed by the aroma of the onions.

Tinolang Tahong at Pechay, Green Mussels with Bok Choy . Back home we would prefer our tinolang tahong with kangkong. But when in overseas kangkong will likely be not available in most part of the world.

Luckily bok choy is for some reason is one of the more common Asian vegetables here, which is as good as kangkong for my tinolang tahong . Frozen green mussels from New Zealand are readily available in most supermarkets here. In fact I have already posted a recipe using New Zealand frozen green mussel, Green Mussels and Vegetables in Coconut Milk .
