Chef's Assistant: Rainy days and Monday

What could be more heartwarming than a home-cooked porridge on rainy Monday?

From left to right, top to bottom: Tokwa't baboy ( fried tofu and pork strips), calamansi, leaks, garlic and the ever famous Lugaw (similar to Chinese style congee).  

Lugaw usually, is rice cooked in pork stock with chicken bits.  Today, Chef Odski used Hebe (mini shrimps) instead, giving it a more flavorful and thick consistency.  

Credits to chef Odski for the very satisfying dinner.  Until our next report.
XOXO, Chef's Assistant

My Pink Wasabi experience

 
Came across My Pink Wasabi's stall last night at the bazaar area at Trinoma level 1 and 2.
We're originally looking for the cute chocovrons (chocolate coated pulvorons) with cartoon character toppings but these cute kashi makis caught my eye.  
 

Roe toppings in egg wrapper? No no no. These kashi makis surely do look like the real thing but these are really pastries disguising as our favorite sushi.  This Oolong berry really got that roe effect which is really appetizing.


My Pink Wasabi offers a lot of different flavors from choco cookies to mint to oolong berry to matcha and a lot more.  At 35 per piece, My Pink Wasabi signature kashi maki is perfect as present to your friends, family or even as a special treat for yourself. 

I enjoyed the set we ordered with coffee earlier, perfect for the rainy afternoon.  I'm so happy I came across their booth last Saturday night cause their stay in Trinoma is only until today, May 26, Sunday.  I believe they will set up their booth in Rockwell next so make sure to visit their website at www.mypinkwasabi.com to catch their signature kashi maki.
