Family: Blessings from Ate Misha

We are so blessed to have über generous family and friends. Recently, my sister-in-law, Misha Ortuoste sent us a few gifts:

Ate Misha is into crafts and is very creative in turning polymer clay into works of art. She sent us keychains to add to our collection.

Since their family is technically half Muslim, she sent a green kupya for Seth and he looks really adorable wearing it. He could someday be a datu, do you agree?

My hubby loves pastil. It's a Muslim dish made of shredded chicken and sticky rice. Since it's not available in Cebu, Ate prepared the chicken filling for us. It was very delicious and for those who have not tasted pastil, it tastes like chicken adobo.

I also love peanut hopia from Mardonney's. It tastes like chocnut in a hopia. Seth also got a moon shaped book and a tiger suit.

Thanks Te for all the gifts! xoxo



Skydreamer Eats: Yellow Curry with Chicken and Potatoes

Today, I tried making chicken and potatoes with yellow curry. It was ridiculously easy to make, and that's a lot coming from someone like me - someone who does not generally know how to cook.

All you need is the following: (don't ask me for the measurement, i cook by feel)

chicken
potatoes
canola oil
yellow curry paste
coconut milk

Here's what you do with the ingredients: cook the yellow curry paste in canola oil, and once it's fragrant - add coconut milk, chicken and potatoes. Let it simmer, adjust your seasonings, and once the chicken and potatoes are cooked - you're done!

I don't have a picture for this post because we ate everything up as soon as it was cooked, but I can definitely tell you that it's really good!

Skydreamer Dines in Cebu: Chicken and Beer in IT Park

On Father's Day, the day that my husband can finally celebrate this day with his baby, we spent it simply. Just me, Seth, my husband and my two sisters (who originally planned to spend Father's day with our dad, but due to bad weather were forced to stay in the city).

We had dinner at one of Moses' favorite chicken place - Chicken and Beer in IT Park, a Korean restaurant that doesn't serve traditional Korean dishes.

I can't remember everything that we ordered, but I can really say that the food is great! Plus, if you're dining with four people, you're better off ordering their vegetable rice for two because it serves four people!

One of the things that I don't like are the insects. There are so many small insects flying inside. I don't know why they can't manage it, other restaurants in IT Park certainly don't have the same problem.

Here are the pictures:
