Recipe: Crispy Tofu Sisig
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On May 20, 2014

I always order tofu sisig whenever I dine at Mesa. The dish is good for 3 to 4 people. Can you keep a secret? I can actually finish the whole dish by myself. So when I stumbled upon this crispy tofu sisig recipe, I was immediately sold. Good thing the tofu sisig is easy to prepare or else, I might be going to Mesa restaurant almost every week just to order one. That would be too expensive for me to handle 😀
I’d probably add more mayonnaise when I cook the crispy tofu sisig again. Mind you, I don’t like mayonnaise, but I don’t know what’s with adding it to tofu that made it taste awesome all of a sudden, hehe! Read More
Recipe: Sizzling Silky Tokwa
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On May 19, 2014

This sizzling tokwa recipe is supposed to be served in a sizzling plate. However, I don’t have any in my home. I will consider having a sizzling plate if I’m a bit comfortable with cooking. I’m still a newbie so having a sizzling plate in my kitchen can wait.
I don’t think there’s much difference with me putting the tofu in a normal bowl versus a sizzling plate. Maybe the food will be warmer for a longer time and of course, the presentation will be better. Anyway, I’ll try to re-do this recipe once I muster the confidence in cooking 🙂 Read More
Recipe: Chayote & Sardines
Posted by Rochelle Sy Chua On May 19, 2014

I want to try as much recipes as possible no matter how weird it is! Take for example this sayote & sardines recipe. Honestly, it was a weird combination, but I cooked it anyway.
The finished product actually tasted okay, but it isn’t my favorite. Maybe one reason why I didn’t like it was because I am shying away from canned goods. If you love sardines, and you want to eat more vegetables, then this recipe is for you. I wouldn’t be cooking this again though. Read More
