Camaron Rebosado (Citrus Battered Shrimp / Filipino Shrimp Tempura)

Camaron Rebosado is a citrus-marinated battered shrimp served with a sweet sour sauce and is the Filipino version of tempura. Cruncy-licious and flavorful, it's a great appetizer and a sure crowd-pleaser!

About a year ago, I went back to my beloved country to spend the holidays with my family. Whenever I go home I make sure that while there I eat all the food that I am unable to either find here or make here. Thankfully, my mom had always been willing to indulge me on this and I am sure I always come back to the US 10 pounds heavier!!! For me, it's worth every single calorie! :)

Easy Thai Shrimp Curry

It seems forever since I made a homemade curry! We are a little spoiled here in New Haven as there are many good curry houses both Thai and Indian so I have been a little lazy in making one at home. I made curry more often when we were in west Michigan as, honestly, there weren't really any good authentic curry there so I had to make them at home a lot of times. But, it turned out well for us as I learned to make really good curry dishes so I am thankful for that opportunity and no regrets! You can check the search box and find 10 different curry versions on this blog - yes, that's how much we love curry!

Pasta with Tuna in Creamy Tomato Sauce

When I was in Manila, my sister cooked a yummy tuna pasta with a creamy sauce and the other day I suddenly had a strong craving for it. I looked around our pantry shelves to see if I still have some canned tuna lying around. Thankfully, I found one. Unfortunately though I didn't have any mushrooms to go with my pasta. I thought I'd have to find a way somehow to make a yummy and creamy tuna pasta without mushrooms.

Shrimp in Sour Soup (Sinigang na Hipon)

Living in an island archipelago surrounded by waters can have a lot of advantageous! For me this is the top reason - fresh seafood! So when I went back to the Philippines for a holiday, I asked my mom if she can cook for me Filipino dishes that all involve seafood especially shrimps and prawns which are my ultimate favorite. Of course, I was also thinking that I only have one shrimp recipe on the blog and it's about time I add another one, after all I am from the Philippines where shrimp dishes of different varieties truly abound.

Daing na Bangus (Milkfish marinated in Vinegar and Garlic)

Ok, so I admit I love to eat Fish for breakfast! My husband, and perhaps some of you, may think it's weird to eat fish early in the morning. I must admit it is a matter of taste and culture. In the Philippines and perhaps other parts of Asia, it is pretty common to have fish for breakfast. My parents eat fish for breakfast everyday. It is not only by choice but because they truly love it.
