WELCOME TO MY SITE AND HAVE A GOOD DAY

If this is your first time in this site, welcome. It has been my dream that my province, Marinduque, Philippines becomes a world tourist destination not only during Easter Week but also whole year round. You can help me achieve my dream by telling your friends about this site. The photo above is your own private beach at The Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort. The sand is not as white as Boracay, but it is only a few steps from your front yard and away from the mayhem and crowds of Boracay. I have posted some of my favorite Filipino and American dishes and recipes on this site also. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on infringement of your copyrights. Cheers!

Three Dishes I Ordered Yesterday from Shef Food Delivery Services

 

Three new dishes that I have not tasted I ordered today from Shef.com -a food delivery service that I recently discovered. The first dish is filipino, the second is Argentinian and the 3rd is Southern Indian.  Here are a brief description of the dishes. If you decide to order from Shef.com please refer to my code DavidK35. Thank you.

1.Bone-in Pork Estofado-Philippines (photo above)

Estofado is from the Spanish word estofar which means to braise in a covered pan. Yes, there is an array of Spanish estofado dishes but the Filipino adaptation is a fusion of the traditional Spanish cooking method, Chinese seasoning (soy sauce), and Filipino ingredients (saba bananas). My father used to make this during fiestas.


Main ingredients

Pork Leg Meat, Chinese Sausage, organic potato, organic carrots, plantain, Vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, bay leaves, black pepper corn, organic garlic, salt to taste, turmeric.


 

 2. Chicken Empanada Saltena - Argentina

I am familiar with Filipino empanadas but not the baked chicken empanada from Salta, Argentina. This is filled with cage-free chicken thighs, potatoes, caramelized onions, green onions, and bell pepper. It is served with the traditional Argentinian chimichurri sauce on the side.


Main ingredients

Cage-free chicken thighs, potatoes, caramelized onions, green onions, garlic, parsley, flour, oregano, butter, and bell pepper. Vegan empanadas ( spinach, mushrooms or roasted eggplant are also available besides the standard beef, steak or chicken empanadas).

 

3. Bone-IN Fried Pompano- South India

This is the 3rd dish I am trying this week. The Pompano fish fry makes for a staple side dish in Indian meals. It goes great with a rice dish, adding a crispy and moderately spicy bite to your meal. Cooked with authentic masalas and shallow fried at the perfect temperature. Mouthwatering recipe.


Main ingredients

Green chili paste, coriander leaves, lemon juice, pompano fish, ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, black pepper, turmeric powder, salt, corn flour, olive oil, chili powder.


For the last 2 weeks, I have ordered several Filipino dishes from Shef.com The dishes were mongo with dried shrimp, chicken afritada, pork menudo, chicken tinola and pork dinuguan.  The dishes were all good and tasty. The dishes were delivered in red insulated bags and were easy to heat.


Food from all over the world are available to order and prepared at home and delivered in your front door within 4 to 5 days. I recommend you try it. Some of the dishes are pricey, but a few are reasonable. The expense is the price you pay for not cooking and messing up your kitchen.

Meanwhile, here are 2 photos of my okra seedlings:
