What I Feed My Family Today

Taiwan's Black Bridge Sausage Rice! Garnished with lots of fried shallots on top. Yummy.
"Black Bridge"--the trademark and brand name of the company's products--has become synonymous with sausages in Taiwan.

Sunday Breakfast + Good Conversation

I'm not a breakfast eater.. I'm an early riser and a morning person but never really ate "real food" for breakfast.. usually i just eat 2x a day, and some light snacks in between. Until just last weekend I was in Hong Kong for a working visit with business partner SN, I ate breakfast each morning for 3 days.. SN eats 3 square meals a day plus snacks in between!

I enjoyed it actually, its an excuse to eat more because the rest of the day we were busy walking around the convention center.

I particularly like the Hong Kong Style coffee shop. They served the yummiest coffee, it must be the milk!

I'm posting this because it was so much fun to have Sunday breakfast with good conversation.. :)

This is what I ate last Sunday. 

Hong Kong version of Cafe Latte

Peanut Butter Toast & Ham Omelette

Travelog: Dining at Batik Asian Cuisine, Maryland!

I'm back. I'm well na. Thanks for those who prayed for me. I had an awesome weekend with my kids in Subic. I'll do a separate post for that.

Continuing my US travelog, I'm so proud of cousin-in-laws Henry & Emily Sy who owns/operate this restaurant called "Batik Asian Cuisine and Dumpling Bar". We stayed at their house with a huge backyard while we were in Maryland for 5 days. This is towards the end of our trip so we are just chilling and relaxed, took subways to go to DC.. etc.

This couple is super hardworking. Emily is in charge of all the recipes!! This girl is a superwoman.She formulated South East Asian Cuisine for this restaurant. She created the menu, location/interiors of the place/marketing/pricing and during business hours she transforms into a waitress! I love the Laksa and Beef Kway Teow!





that's Henry! hahaha


according to Emily, most of her decors came from Boracay, and provinces in Philippines


al fresco dining at the 2nd floor



We also met the chef.. forgot her name. Look at her strong hands!


and the FOOD!



If you're in the area of Gaithersburg, Maryland. You must go go go!

Ayen's Radish Cake

I love the White Radish Cake (loh pak kou) that serves in Chinese Restaurants with dim sum in their menus. It's has been a favorite since I was a kid. My Mom who lives in Hong Kong brings me to great restaurants that serves the best radish cake! I love to cook, so she bought me recipe books for this dish. However, the process of making it was tedious and time consuming. I have no time.. I'm more of a marinate, crock-pot, pressure cooker, quick stir fry, anything quick kind of cook! LOL!!

My SIL, Ayen, who's also a cook herself, have lots of time to create dishes because she's a stay at home mom/wife. So me and Mom gave her all the Hong Kong cookbooks to start her experiment.

After a few try, her radish cake became a staple in our breakfast table, merienda and give-away to relatives. She uses ingredients from Hong Kong. By word of mouth, the orders from her friends and my side of relatives starts coming in!

She consigns this also in local Chinese groceries, and according to the grocery owners, it's always sold out!


This is the trademark packaging which you can see from the local Chinese groceries. Yesterday she gave me 2 containers and I cooked it right away.




I like to pan-fry it to become brown in all sides. Since I love everything spicy, my secret is to put X.O Scallop sauce on top, give it a few stir and ready to eat!




Did you see the X.O. scallop bits on each? It's really delicious. That's my breakfast.




For orders please call Ayen at +639178161668. Pick up only. Unless your kids studies at Makati Hope Christian School then you can schedule to meet up with her.
