Do you like to cook local and international foods?

I love Chinese food very much and we have lots of Chinese restaurant here in our country...But never ate 'Pancit'....sounds yummy...thanks!!

I would love to try that Ruth. Thank you for that information. Good day to you!

Hi, juneramir, Yes, pancit is one of my favorite food. Try to put some 5 spice on it, it's chinese mixed spices that you can find in SM or Robinson Supermarkets and try to throw some sesame seeds just right after cooking. And the Pancit (fried noodles) will be heavenly!!! It's very good!!

totaly agree

Thanks guys for your nice response. Take care and happy cooking!!! My aunt say to me that I can cook pretty quick! I plan in my head what to cook and how much time it will take me to prepare and cook the lot so as not to waste time and energy. Last January, I cooked for 150 people for my hubby's birthday! I like to do it myself and I'm sure that the foods are prepared cleanly. I cooked several big pots of boiled rice, fried chicken, chicken spring rolls, chicken curry, pork stew (afritada), fried fish, shrimp bahjis (indian), roasted Debone whole stuffed chickens, 3 big pans of potato creamed bake, prawns in sweet and sour sauce, the pancit (fried noodles)!!!! Wew, that's a lot, isn't it? But everybody enjoyed it. With a fresh salad that I prepared too and desserts...gelatine, fruit salad and leche flan (egg custard). I even made pizza that I cooked a week a head, cut into serving pieces then freeze and reheat in microwave before serving and people loved it. I baked spice cakes, cut into pieces and served when thawed. And lastly, I cooked meatloaf, cut into good portions then freeze and used as a give away to people for coming to the occasion and everybody's happy!! And then after that though very tired, people still ask me to sing for them!!! So my role was a cook, the host and the singer! Singing was my previous profession and that's how I met my hubby! My hubby was very happy that his b-day was very busy, lots of food, lots of people and of course gifts!!! A happy hubby!

Hello, That's nice. Me too I like simple meals, but there kind of dishes that really need of lots preparation and longer length of cooking. Like I cook our Sunday Dinner (Sunday lunch), and that will be roasting chicken, pork or beef. And with that I will have to cook the gravy, the vegetables, the rice cause my aunts eat rice, mashed or roasted potatoes. And in a hot country like the Philippines, to put on the oven is like big challenge for your strength, but after the sweat and long time of cooking, it's all worth it!!

That's nice, it's a good thing to know. It make it easier for us to live and for our family...happy cooking

Thanks ruthsm, It's a nice feeling being able to provide this kind of service to our family. It's easier and cheaper, and we are able to keep them healthy too, that we can choose the things we like to cook and see what it better to eat. We lived in different country too before we moved here in the Philippines for good. We lived in Thailand then the U.K. and here and we visited Australia. I loved the lamb barbeque in Australia, they have more. I eat too much I think that I got sick hehehe, not throwing out but just not feeling good. Cause I know that when we get home, lamb is so expensive. Right now, I can say that it's been a long time that I have not had a lamb for dinner or something hehehe. I miss it. We went back to Thailand last 2008, and I loved the food again, and it was very exciting to taste them again. I cook Chinese, Morrocan, Indian, Italian, British, Filipino, Korean And Thai foods. I bake Cakes, pastries, and my own fresh home baked breads and pizzas, so my hubby is very happy that I cook this way. I used to plant herbs in my garden but when we had cats, they liked to pull them out and play with it lol, and now our new pup is destroying my garden hehe. We live close to the beach so it's very hot in where we are, and growing herbs aside from basil and coriander is difficult. But we get our dried herbs and spices, in a supermarket, 1hr away from our home. My cabinet is full of herbs and spices. I make my own pasta and dumplings too. We are kinda the same in cooking ruthsm. You take care and happy cooking again.

It's nice that a lot of us mylotters love to cook. It's good to know, hehehe!!! Happy cooking. I love to cook Thai food too cause my hubby and I lived in Thailand before and I worked there. Thai food is awesome!!!!
