VERDICT

WILL: Ate Sol is asking what to cook on the next event at home and I remembered that Nanay cooked a creamy chicken. And now I know what it was called. The Chicken Pastel. 

My last time I cooked using a milk, it taste like a sweet caramel. Haha. Again, let Abbey do the work at the kitchen. 

When I tasted the sauce! OMG! It is my Nanay’s Chicken Pastel! Yummy, creamy, and taste like cheese! What the!! Saraaap talaga! Cook it now and let chicken reborn a new life!

Aladdin 2019 | Disney Movie

ABBEY: There are “not-too-good” reviews about Disney’s new version of Aladdin. Same story definitely but had twists of course. Yes with an “s”; like how the wittiness of Aladdin asking Genie’s help to go out of the Cave of Wonders. Also how the first scene became like that :)

Princess Jasmine looks more beautiful as the movie progress. As expected, Will Smith delivered on his own way. No one can fill the shoes of the original Genie. Abu, Rajah, Iago, and Magic Carpet have their own funny moments. Jafar lacks a little bit of fierceness though.

Aim to achieve greater heights but watch yourself not to be greedy. And stay honest.

WILL: Do you have favourite cartoons/movies that you always watch over and over again? I have a few! And one of them is Aladdin. 

As I’ve said, I am not fan of love stories but Aladdin the movie gives a twist that makes me happy on it’s ending. What it is? That Jasmine became the Sultan. The position she is looking up to was awarded to her in the end. I like Will Smith’s spin-off of Arabian Nights and the Speechless song added to the list. 

Never fail to mesmerize me, Aladdin! Is Jafar returning? Hmmm??

Samgyetang - Ginseng Chicken Soup

VERDICT
WILL: I saw Samgyetang meal while watching a Korean TV Show, Return of Superman. A soup that enjoyed well by Song's Triplets. Next, is when Maangchi cooked it on her youtube channel. Darn! I want that hot soup too in my plate. 

I surprised Abbey by putting it on our weekly meal list. And he doesn’t have a choice but to learn how to cook it and where he can buy those ingredients. Haha! A challenge he always loves to do! 

The soup have this herby and earthy feel. It relaxes the body and those spices gave heat from inside. Oh gurl! This is so good! This will be on our meal list again...soon!
