Kuting's Kitchen Trip - Tuna with Tokwa in Oyster Sauce

Blogger Note: Para maiba naman ang aking nire-review (actually, medyo kailangan na talagang bawasan ang pagdi-dine out kasi magastos!!!), iblo-blog ko na rin ang aking mga adventures sa kusina. You will get to read how I interpret simple recipes and blow by blow accounts of what's happening in "Kuting's Kitchen Trip"!

Tuna with Tokwa in Oyster Sauce
(sa totoo lang, inisip ko lang 'to =)

2 slices of tokwa
1 can of Century Tuna in oil
1 pc onion, chopped
1 1/2 spoons of oyster sauce

1. Fry the tokwa. It is best to slice it into thin pieces to lessen fying time. Drain and set aside.

2. Separate the tuna and the tuna oil.

3. In another pan, saute onion. Add the tuna. Saute some more =)

4. Add some of the tuna oil just to make the tuna a little moist.

5. Stir in the oyter sauce.

6. After stirring, add the tokwa. Stir some more =)

Comments:

Tadaah!!! A healthy dish - and cheap too!

Lessons Learned:

Do not put the tokwa in the freezer. Place it in the chiller so that you don't have to thaw it come cooking time. =)

Pizza Hut (SM North Edsa)

Mga Inorder:

1. Bbq Spareribs - Manamis-namis. Malambot ang karne. Sulit ang ibinayad namin! Dapat apat na piraso yung isang serving, kaso sa sobrang gutom namin, nakain na namin yung dalawa bago namin naisip na kunan ng picture =)












2. Java rice - Ayos ang lasa. Bagay na bagay sa pagkatamis ng bbq spare ribs.














Overall rating: Matagal tagal din kaming di kumakain sa Pizza Hut kasi pizzang mamantika lang naman ang nakikita namin sa menu nila. Pero, laking gulat (hwaaat?!!) namin na may bago ng dishes ang Pizza Hut! Okay naman ang lasa at di mabigat sa bulsa. Hmm, gusto ko rin tikman yung ibang bagong dishes - excited na ako!!

Via Mare Oyster Bar (Gbelt 3)

Mga Inorder:

Salpicado - The meat is very juicy and tender. The lumpia is tasty and the taste of the bean sprouts (toge) is not very strong (in a good way!). Yummy!














Overall rating: The food is delicious but expensive. The only reason why I was able to sample the dish above is that I had a lunch meeting with my boss and managers in Via Mare and my boss paid for our lunch (isn't she the best?!). It seems like Via Mare is becoming the official venue of our meetings (we also held our last lunch meeting here). I can't wait for our next meeting!

Sugar House (Glorietta)

Mga Inorder:

1. Callos – Malinamnam. Wala kang malalasahan na anumang artipisyal na rekado (halimbawa, betsin). Mainam kainin kung naglilihi ka sa lamang loob...=)














2. Four Seasons – Tamang tama ang timpla. Natural na natural ang dating sa panlasa.













Over-all rating: Babalik-balikan! Dito ako sa Sugarhouse kumakain pag mag-isa lang akong namamasyal sa Glorietta. Maliit lang kasi ang lugar kaya hindi halata na wala kang kasama dahil hindi layo-layo ang mga mesa. Tamang-tama lang ang distansiya ng mga ito. Hindi ko lang magawang kumain ng mga minatamis o ”keyk” (hmm, ano kayang tagalog nito?) dahil...hindi po ako nagdidiyeta...mahal kasi =)

Pancake House (Gbelt 1)

Mga Inorder:

1. Almondigas – in common terms, miswa with bola bola. The taste is not so strong (meaning hindi naman maalat, at hindi naman masarap na masarap he he he).












2. House Iced Tea – parang lemon na C2! Hindi siya lasang Lipton..












3. Steamed Chicken in Pandan – one of my favorite dishes sa Pancake. The chicken is tender and I really love the combination of ginger and chicken! The “sauce” (ano ba English ng “sawsawan”?) is made of lemon and something – simply delicious!












Over-all Rating:

I give it 41/2 spoons….eka ba’t may spoon – spoon at bigla akong nagii-ingles sa blog entry na ito? Ginagaya ko kasi si Angel Aquino sa F para hindi puro masarap ang tina-type ko – delicious naman! He he he....

Balik sa rating – you will definitely love these dishes!
