Kangkong (On Choy) Adobo Style
This was our vegetable of choice when we grilled tilapia and squid. It was the perfect pairing! I hadn’t realized that my girls don’t remember ever having this vegetable since I don’t buy it often. It’s also not always available in the market and when it is, it is always on the expensive side. The…
Nilaga: Oxtail Soup with Potatoes and Vegetables
Although it was scorching hot and humid outside, we couldn’t resist having one of our favorite soups, oxtail soup. The weather has never been a hindrance to our enjoyment of soups. Why whenever we are in Las Vegas, we must have our dose of Oxtail Soup at the California and you know how hot it…

I had cooked a very plain version of this dish for my sick daughter a couple of weeks ago. It was more plain rice porridge than what we Filipinos recognize as Arroz Caldo or…
Homemade Pork Tocino
(Updated 1/3/2010) We love this homemade tocino recipe and so have many of our blogging friends who have tried it. There are many different versions of making Filipino tocino out there, but very few of them use cider vinegar like this one. Most of the ones I have seen online and even in most cook…
