Gourmet Tuyo (Dried Herring) in Olive Oil

ABBEY: We happened to have a good amount of tuyo (herring) after our vacation. Thanks to our family and friends for the pasalubong. And recently we started to cook dishes with gourmet tuyo and it cost 300 to 500PHP per jar. We thought why buy it when we can try to make it.

10-15 pcs tuyo (fried then fillet)
1 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cup vinegar
1 bulb garlic (chopped)
2 medium chili padi
sugar
salt

In a pot, heat the oil and then sauté the garlic.
Put in tuyo and chili.
Add vinegar and simmer for a couple of minutes.
Put sugar and salt according to your preference.

WILL: A humble "tuyo" can be oh so glamorous and expensive. Haha! 

My father gave us 4 packs of dried herring and Abbey got an idea. Why will we buy an expensive gourmet tuyo if we can make it for ourselves. He dove on Youtube videos and te-ne-nen!!! Gourmet Tuyo!

It is not salty, it is not that spicy but the olive oil and vinegar gave a good taste! Manyaman! Eat with steaming hot rice. 

Oh! One more thing, for sure there will be oil leftovers. Go on and have an aglio olio pasta!

Super Addictive Brownies - Dona's Recipe

ABBEY: This recipe was given to me by our friend Dona from the US of A. I was able to bake the cookies after a year :)


Follow the recipe specially when spacing the cookie dough on the baking sheet. The recipe will yield 30 chocolatey, delicious cookies.

Super Addictive Brownies


WILL: Donna's cookies are so desirable. The aroma reminds me of chips ahoy on the 80's. The taste is not too sweet and the texture is chewy and perfect for any hot drinks. 

Abbey requested for the recipe and he baked it. Is it just the same? Well, it is ok. But the texture differs. Abbey's product is crumbly and the salt/sugar is not dissolved (which I love). 

Now I am waiting for next baking session of Abbey.

Say Chiizu | Hokkaido Cheese Toast

ABBEY: Say ‘chiizu’ :) 

Hokkaido Cheese Toast offers these toasts at SGD 3.80 a piece. They recently opened their branch at Waterway Point and there we go. 

The toast is not that much big but filled with stretchy and chewy cheese. Be sure to eat it as soon as possible for maximum stretch. Also who wants a cold toast?

WILL: I saw Abbey's friend, Nitin, hit a like button to a post that shows a stretch of cheese! Abbey blurted out that it is supposedly his surprise for me for the next day. Ha! Blame Nitin! 

For brunch, we went to Waterway Point and bought the 'surprise' original toast. 

Astonished, this taste like mozzarella! Man! I can eat three of those in one sitting. It is quite pricey though.
