Braised Pork Recipe

Ingredients:
Braised pork
Pork (belly - cubed and ribs)
Medium onion - sliced
4 cloves garlic - minced
2 tbsp ginger - julienned
3 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark sauce
Brown sugar (according to your sweetness preference)
4 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
Salt

Chili oil
1 cup of chili powder
1 cup of vegetable oil
2 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
8 pcs cardamom 
3 tbsp sichuan peppercorns 
1 bay leaf
2 tsp salt


Braised Pork
Season the pork with salt and shallow fry them until they turn brown. Set aside.

On the same pot/pan, sauté the onion, then garlic and ginger.
Pour a cup of water (or chinese cooking wine) and deglaze the pot; scraping all the flavors at the bottom.

Put back the pork as well as the other ingredients (light and dark soy sauce, sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick).Boil and simmer until the pork is tender. Add water accordingly. You can remove the bones before serving as an option.

Serve with either rice or egg noodles and put slices of cucumber, green onions, and chili oil.

Chili oil
Heat the oil in a pot (low heat).
While the oil is heating up, toast the aromatics (star anise, cinnamon stick, bay leaf, peppercorns). Be sure not to burn them. Once they are smoking put them in the oil and let them sizzle (not fry) for at least 5 minutes.
Cool it down for a couple of minutes before transferring it to the jar with the chili powder and salt.
Put some star anise, cinnamon and bay leaf.

VERDICT
WILL: Abbey’s hobby is to cook and day-by-day he is flourishing this talent of him. Last week he cooked Asian Braised Pork.

Oh darn! The pork is tender, sweet and a spike of saltiness. The star anise and cinnamon became the main factor of this dish. It’s aroma gives a huge factor on it. 

This is the pork version of beef pares! Love it! Thanks baby! My personal chef. 😍

Little Caesars Singapore - America’s Third-Biggest Pizza Chain

ABBEY: Little Caesars opened in Singapore last January 2019 at Income@Raffles.

The menu is simple; 6 flavors of pizza for you to mix and match with other items like chicken wings, garlic butter breadsticks and soft drinks.

For SGD 13.5 you can have a large pizza with these flavors: Hula Hawaiian, Meat Treat, Ultimate Supreme, and Veggie.
But you can get their large pepperoni or cheese pizza for only SGD 8 and it will be “hot-n-ready”.

You can also order a slice with drink or whatever you like :)
I like the pepperoni than cheese; anyways the pepperoni pizza also has cheese.

WILL: Wait! What? There’s already a Little Caesars’ Pizza here in Singapore? Abbey immediately googled and scheduled a date on International Women’s Day. 

Do you know that pizzas here in SG is pretty expensive. I am very surprised that the large pepperoni is just $7 which can serve up to 3pax. The taste? Well, I would say that the quality and quantity of the toppings weren’t compromise. The signature crumbly dough is there! Yummy! The best thing is, this is only few steps from Distri II (Republic Plaza). This will be a good and cheap alternative for every crypto companies that is holding a pizza party! 

What are you waiting for? Grab the $7.99 large pizza!

Bakers’ Fair Dice Mongo

ABBEY: This is one of Wilma’s request for me to bring her after my Pinas trip. A box of 20 1-inch cubes is Php 140. Yup, Php 7 per piece. 

It is best to eat along with your coffee or tea. Reheating it in microwave can give you the same feel when you bought it. More on the sweet side and less of mungbean itself. But who cares? The “essence” is there. Haha.

Bakers’ Fair Dice Mongo

WILL: When I was in college and I am running out of budget, I will dropped by at Grand Central Caloocan or at Doroteo Jose branch of Bakers’ Fair and buy Dice Mongo. One day, I missed it! And Abbey, my personal genie, grant my wish. Haha! 

Creaminess of its munggo filling satisfied my cravings! Sweet, hot and and a little bit crunchy from the outside. Lovely! It is quite expensive now but still, a good fix to have once in a while.
