Fried Salmon

I always love salmon ,my favorite fish actually .I really like the juiciness and the taste of it .I bought 1 kilo for QR 60( $17 ) last week and asked for the vendor to cut it for me and left for some more grocery stuff then came back after a while .I took the fish out of the plastic once I get home but to my dismay ,the slices was too thin,hmm!. I like it better if it was a little thicker but what else can I do.Here is my salmon with just salt and pepper fried in olive oil.Me and my son enjoyed eating it dipped in soy sauce with lemon and lots of rice and sliced cucumber.

Pancit Canton

 When it comes to cooking pancit ,I prefer pancit canton than bihon although I like them both.The reason is that I cannot cook the bihon right. It is either under cook or dry while the pancit canton can be cook however you like it ,crisp,dry or a little saucy.

Adobong Kangkong

When my mother was pregnant with me,  kangkong was her favorite food.She was always craving for it and cooks anytime she wants. .They used to leave in a company compound  at that time with lots of kangkong(swamp cabbage) plants in some vacant area. Doon daw ako pinaglihi. I usually eat  Adobong kangkong together with fried fish and lots of rice but this time I had  it with some pre heated  left over fried chicken .

Adobong kangkong is a popular dish sauteed in cooking oil, onions, garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce.You can also add some tomato like I always do.

Kangkong can also be added at sinigang (meat or fish sour stew) or serve as an appetizer  called crispy Kangkong
