Chicken Inasal

This chargrilled chicken is one of the best tasting chicken the Philippines has. Marinated with coconut vinegar, garlic, lemongrass and ginger, then chargrilled and basted with lemon butter and annatto seed makes this a truly delicious (and orange) chicken.

This one we ordered at Karilagan in South San Francisco was a bit too chargrilled for my taste. I remember back in the Philippines I would always frequent restaurants that pride themselves to dish out the best chicken inasal in the country! Perfectly grilled and tender chicken meat with soy sauce and chili dipping sauce makes it such a blessing to eat!
Try out some Chicken Inasal at your closest Filipino restaurant and I am sure you won't regret it!

Filipino LOMI (Egg Noodle Soup)

Is it cold outside? So cold your breath turns misty when you exhale? Your body involuntarily shakes to compensate for the dropping temperature? Want a quick (and satisfying) fix to warm your body and ease your soul?

How about some Lomi soup? 🍜
This Filipino mainstay is a soup of egg-y proportions. Made up of egg noodles, this dish comes perfectly prepared with both veggies and meat alike. Cooked with cabbage, carrots and garlic (this one had celery and mushroom to boot!) with slivers of pork (sometimes chicken) and kikiam balls and shrimp, this gooey thick soup is better than your average chicken noodle soup! 😜
Cornstarch with water thickens the broth while adding freshly beaten egg before serving the delicious quarter-inch egg noodles piping hot is what makes this an undeniably gratifying soup! Steamy, heartwarming and just plain home-y is what you'll get with each slurp and sip of lomi soup!

Add a dipping sauce made up of calamansi (a lime cousin) and some soy sauce with chili to dip the meat slices or add a ZING to your soup!
Ask your Filipino friend for this next time rather than your lumpia or pancit go-to favorites! This is the noodle Bomb! 😍

Filipino Crab Omelette
Nothing makes you feel right at home than homecooking.. Or something close to it at least!
Missing Filipino food my mom and I ventured to our favorite Filipino go-to Restaurant called Karilagan in South San Francisco (a few few away from Max's) across from El Camino Real. We ordered other food as well as this delicious Crab Omelette.
It basically egg and crab meat with some spring onions and the occasional tomato slices(depending on the cook!). really easy to make, this dish is usually eaten with rice and any Filipino would just add a good dollop of ketchup for good measure! Crabby meat thats fresh inside some fresh farm eggs! What a delight!
Take note this is not the whole omelette but only a slice of it which i've taken the liberty of topping it onto my rice with a nice dollop of ketchup! 😉
