Saturday Brunch

Saturdays are usually spent at home - waking up late and resting. We still had a pack of bacon from Manila that my sister brought here when she visited last February. We were saving it for a weekend because bacon is better when eaten right after cooking. Maybe it's the freakishly hot weather but the defrosting time here is so much faster than that in Manila.. although I heard that it's also hot in Manila right now. Anyway, we also had some leftover rice so we decided to make Garlic Rice as well. Here are the steps in making this simple yet delicious brunch!

Mince 10 cloves of garlic. You don't have to chop it perfectly. Relex, it's just Garlic Rice!

P1010023
Saute garlic until golden brown then add the rice! I forgot to take pictures of the next steps so just mix everything together then serve!

P1010024
The disaster of the eggs! Haha.

P1010028
I wanted to make the bacon crispy so I decided to cook them in 2 batches, 3 strips at a time. No need for oil anymore because the bacon released its own oil. I put the first batch on paper towels while I cooked the second batch.

I put them all together again then sprinkled some sugar!

P1010035
And there you have it! Crispy Bacon with Fried Egg and Garlic Rice!

P1010038
Bon Appetit!

P1010044
Time to wash the dishes!

P1010045
Oh no, the sugar crystalized on the pan!

P1010047
The secret to cleaning this pan? Just add hot water! :)

Anyway, I really love this meal! *Sigh* I miss hotel breakfasts.

Hospital Cheat Sheets

Hello mommies! Sorry I have been busy trying to balance spending quality time with my baby, the pastry shop @joaniescupcakes and our newly launched online store, Petit Bébé PH.  Check out our IG and FB pages if you have time, @petitbebeph. 😍 Anyway, a lot as been asking about the hospital lists that I made for my delivery so here they are! As some of you might know, I am quite OC about paperwork and I have no pain tolerance so I really wanted to make sure that my doctors did not miss anything about my medical history. I was also confined 3x during my pregnancy. This is why I wanted to make sure that my list is detailed so we could avoid mistakes. Information Sheet This is the information sheet that I made. I consulted my OB prior to my delivery about the things that will be asked during check in/ labor. The text is RED are things you need to fill out on the way to the hospital as you might not have enough time to print them when you start contracting. Birth Plan ...

Eating at Home

Reg and I have been trying to lose weight to better control our sugar intake. We ate out a lot when I was still pregnant so he gained "pregnancy pounds" as well. Haha! I have been going to the supermarket to buy 3 weeks worth of dinners the past 2 months and I have been making weekly menu plans to help us achieve our goal. Honestly, I have always felt lazy to do this menu because the meats available at the grocery varies every week. I tend to buy what looks good so I can't stick to 1 set of menu come marketing time. First, let's start with the supermarket. We are closer to Unimart Greenhills but I feel that prices there are higher and there are times when their stock delivery is delayed. I always end up not being able to buy everything that I need. In order for this menu planning to succeed, I now go to my trusty Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma. I used to shop there when I was still single but I stopped going when I moved after getting married because I hated the ...

On Being the "Good Quality Crab"..

When I was in high school, I watched this movie entitled, “The Joy Luck Club”. I think I was with my mom and sisters when we watched it. The movie tells the story of four women who escaped their difficult lives in China, went to the US, had daughters who all seem to inherit their weaknesses and how they all were able to rise up to their shortcomings and get better. There was this part where everyone was having dinner and they were eating crab. June, who thinks her mom always compares her to the beautiful Waverly, got angry at the latter because she thinks that she is never good enough. Her mom told her that it’s not true and uses the sample of the crabs they had for dinner to emphasize. At the table, Waverly immediately gets the claw, which is the best part but June gets the smallest piece because she wants others to get the better ones. Her mom says that it’s because June has a good quality heart. It has been a running joke in our family that my eldest sister, Cla, is June because she...
