Typical Filipino Foodies

9:09 PM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

This picture (below) was taken way back year 2011 in the month of May, with my three friends in the city (one is nearby where this picture or the place where her house was taken). That was already  more than two years ago. We Filipino "Pinoy/Pinay" mommies, living legally here in USA with an American husband) had our friends bonding that time. It was fun. We can just remember our birth country, the foods we used to eat. Ooh well. Isn't that awesome that we can still access to these foods even of thousand miles away? That's how lucky we are that we live here in California than any other states, when it comes to such foods, as they say.


Do you recognize these foods? Those are little fish omelet (tortang-isda), two different kind of fried dried fish, sauteed bamboo shoot with malunggay "moringa" soup, boiled ripe banana plantain, rice and sweetened root crops with bilo-bilo (or commonly called as "bilo-bilo" or "binignit" ) for the dessert and soft drinks.

What do you think of it? How do you like it? Oops! I am already hungry right now, seeing this. I gotta go. Thanks for dropping-by! Come on let's have some bite. :-)

Redesigned Blog

1:30 AM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

If you noticed my blog posts' surroundings (yes, my new blog design) and you are frequent here, you know that there's something eye-catching here. Yes, it's different from before. It has a new face. New blog design. I love it! Thanks to my blogger-designer friend Vivien of Way2Go Design (you can see her link on my footer *if you wish to contact her for blog designing/customization, it's even affordable especially for an introductory price) for beautifying this blog you're in. It is my plan to have this redesign to a pro one, remember my customization a while back? Sorry if I haven't got a chance to have a screen shot of it but one thing I can tell you, this is quite better. I salute to the website/blog designers out there, I encountered and even worked on my other blogs, especially now for this Foods 'N Bites blog. Thanks again Vien! You did an awesome job! ~hugs&kisses~

Customized the Template of this Blog

3:34 AM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

The owner of this template is from Blogger Platform and I just did the beautification or customization according to my taste, just a while ago. It's a little tough but I think it's just the way the process is.  I also did the personalized header and the width as well as the font size, font appearance, colors, etc.

 I can just imagine the making of the design, the detail, the colors and everything. That's why, kodus to the designers and they just deserve of the reward of their job well-done. How much would was it, I don't know. All I know is that designing a template is not an easy work. It needs patience and creativeness as well as color-coordinating technique.

And so, this is it. What you see is my work. Eh heh! How do you like it? Or, do you? ;-) Now give me that good bites. Wink. ;-) Now we need some snacks. Ooh well. Have a great day/night everyone! ~hugs&kisses~

Jumbo Fresh Shrimps Soup

2:21 AM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

I am into shrimps nowadays. I can remember how I love to eat jumbo shrimps in the buffet with my friends in my favorite buffet restaurant here in my place. Then I realize it has been long time that I haven't made a shrimps soup, one of my favorite soup, of jumbo shrimps with cabbage on it or bokchoy. Below is with cabbage. As you can see, it is still fresh from the stove, with all the steam coming out from the pot.

I like to make vegetable and meat soup whenever my tummy calls for " no oil " foods. " No oil " means, I don't have to use cooking oil to cook it. And so above is made with jumbo shrimps, cabbage, lemongrass, bell pepper, tomato and salt to taste. And hooray! --- time for bites! Yummm! :)

How about you, do you love eating vegetables and meat soup? If so, how do you like cooking it? How do you like eating it? Have you tried this shrimps soup yet?

Eggplant Omelette

2:51 AM | Posted by Cacai M. | | Edit Post

(click image to enlarge)

It's about four months ago I had this homemade eggplant omelet. You can only imagine the age of this picture. Wink. ;-) And yes, you bet, I am now craving of this. And I intend to make it tomorrow. I planned to have cook this days ago and yep, I already have stocks of eggplant and of course eggs to go with it, as well as pepper, salt and olive oil to complete its ingredients.

And since I can't grill, I always do it through broiling. So I put it in a broiler and cook the eggplant there. Sometimes, I also steam it first before doing omelette. But most of the time, I broil it first.

Mmmm.. I can now imagine of the bites I will going to have tomorrow. Ciao then! :)
