Poqui poqui

At first it was like, WTF! How could I eat it, if I could not even pronounce it out loud specially in front of my children??? As it turns out. It was just "ensaladang talong" but originated and made popularized by the Ilocanos. Ok now I get it!

Ampalaya con Carne

Honestly speaking, this is the only time I eat ampalaya when this dish is served. I like it when it taste a bit sweet and spicy. So here in this recipe I added a bit of sugar and chili. So please bear with me. However, I guarantee you that it taste a lot better.

Lumpiang Gulay

The very first vegetable dish, that I could be proud of saying, I could eat without any throwaways. I remember my college days, whenever prices of meal combos on the canteen is like too steep for my deteriorating allowance. I would instead order one of this along with a cup of hot rice.
