Each time I’d watch foreign cooking shows and Don Domeng will be around, he’d always point out how a party table for them hardly compares to a party table for Filipinos. He says it’s because Filipinos have a tendency to show off when it comes to hosting events, but I think it’s mostly because there’s always a feast aspect to how Filipinos eat.
Party or non-party, Filipinos have mastered the art of good eating. This is evident even in the poor man’s home, where even rice and salt can be made into a meal when worse comes to worst. Good eating is part of Filipino food in every right and this makes eating, whether breakfast, lunch, dinner, or the many snacks we take, more than an act to fuel the body but a real treatly experience on so many levels.
Case in point: Today my sister came home after a stint in the hospital and she decided to cook spicy grilled prawns and add it to the lunch table. Mother Goose won an electric grill in a raffle a long time ago but this is the first time we ended up using it.
The spicy grilled prawns are a hit! They’re made withย Worcestershireย sauce, garlic, and cayenne pepper, and grilled for a few minutes until the slightly melancholic looking shrimps turn pink and decidedly cheerful fit for a fiesta. Oh, I forgot to mention, we already had nilagang baboy and chicken adobo on the lunch table ๐
Normally, I’m not keen on lunch but this time, I totally enjoyed it and savored every bite! ๐
The spicy grilled prawns looks amazing! And the sinigang looks sinfully delicious! Great post. ๐
thanks, considering the time it took to cook the prawns, they’re really out of this world good!
Super sarap!

wah nakakatakam naman! Gustong-gusto ko yang nilaga at sinigang. dyan talaga nasisira ang anumang diet na mayroon ako.
sad lang at hindi ako makakain ng seafood. -allergy.
sisters ko din hoshi hindi masyado sa seafood laging may katabing antihistamines.
i have a recipe for shrimps and prawns. haha! killer daw oh! haha! hindi naman ,favorite ko kasi yung recipe na yun: butter, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, sprite. yummy!
that sounds really yummy! ๐
.. i love shrimps (kahit anong luto) and fried adobong manok! ๐
i am a shrimp person too but i prefer pork adobo to chicken. ๐
Everytime nakakakita ako ng taba ng babuy na hindi fried, I feel like throwing up. I don’t know, it just seems disgusting to me. Lalo na pag madulas sya when you put it inside your mouth. Aaaack. Or maybe I’m just against cannibalism. ๐
there was a time i felt the same way pero ngayon hindi na. ibig sabihin uou do not eat sinigang fat?
I don’t eat fat at all. Sinigang, Barbeque, Fried Porkchop, everything. Except sa bagnet.
bacon?
Bacon too. Pero I rarely eat bacon.
wow, i have not met a lot who turned their noses up on bacon. you are something definitely.
I have to admit though, bacon smells really, really nice. ๐
it does. i always have to exercise discipline once facing a whole plate. tough! ๐
aba
fiesta nga!
