Radish and Smoked Salmon Toast is my post for this week...

Ingredients:

• bread (your choice; i used baguette, which I sliced and slathered with cheese, salt and pepper, before toasting)
• cheese (again, your choice)
• small radish (I used three)
• smoked salmon
• Calamansi/calamondin juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, capers

Procedure:

• Toast the sliced bread after putting on cheese, salt and pepper.
• While the bread slices are toasting, slice the small radish and mix in with calamansi juice, olive oil, capers, and pepper. Let's call this the radish mix. Set aside.
• Once the bread is sufficiently toasted, layer the radish mix, smoked salmon, and then the radish mix again. I just can't seem to get enough of the radish! lol.
• You can drizzle some more olive oil, and/or calamansi juice, at this point. Or maybe some more freshly cracked pepper or some pepper flakes.
• Enjoy!

I know I made that radish mix a while back and I just loved it. When we got lucky and got ourselves smoked salmon...well, I thought: why not mix them! Hence the Radish and Smoked Salmon toast. My current favorite. :)

Ms. Hazel, with her post Flea Market Supper, on her blog: Celebrations 101.

I believe that that is one healthy dish right there! I have always been intrigued by Thai dishes, but never got to try them much because my family seldom chooses Thai food (Japanese food always wins, lol0. You've got to check out this post by Ms. Hazel and see what other goodies they had that night!

This week is another round of restaurant food for me, while we were in Davao ... hopefully, the last for this month. lol.

We decided to check out Marina Tuna that day for lunch, at their SM Lanang (Davao City) branch.

The Tuna Tinola was comforting and reminded me of the fish tinola that my parents used to cook for us  (yes, they both cooked when they were not too busy) when we were still kids. The fried chicken was also delicious, as well as the salmon sashimi (it was a bit expensive compared to the ones that we order here in Quezon City). But what really got my attention was the Tuna with Bitter Gourd - I just loved it! Simple dish, but big on taste. In my honest opinion. :)

ps. I am already a bitter gourd fan, so ... :D

FREE Ebook: Raw Food Diet Book

Raw Food Diet Book: Secrets to Healthy Living Plus Quick & Easy Recipes for Delicious & Nutritious Plant-Based Meals to Help with Weight Loss, Detox & Optimal Health

My latest download. Will be checking it out in a bit.

My Niece

My niece used to play in a band, together with her former high school classmates. They used to practice over at my sister's (her mom's) third floor and rock the day away! Am not sure if they have one of those Brass Tools, but they sure do had a lot of stuffs up there! I haven't actually watched them play - just heared them. My niece was their drummer.

But they are now college graduates...my niece just finished med school. She plans to continue on with Pathology, though. My, how time flies fast! really fast!

Sweet Potato

One of my fave snacks - camote/sweet potato que! This shot was taken in Cagayan de Oro and this was the best camote que that I have ever had in years! I could taste the really sweet potatoes (yes, so different from the ones that we get here!)! The next time we get back to Mindanao again, I must simply have one of these! :)

Tobacco

A grandfather used to smoke tobacco, using tobacco leaves which he planted and dried on his own. Sometimes, when he has more than he needs he sells them. There was a place in the market where they would sell their dried leaves, while smoking. However, I believe that they are a dying breed in my area. I don't think I see anyone selling dried tobacco leaves anymore in the market. Or maybe they have transferred to another area. I don't know. If you have a craving for tobacco, then you'd best check out the best cheap cigars online. Am sure you'd find something there that interests you! :)

This week's feature is (again) another food trip while we were in Davao. It was a special occasion, so we went to this restaurant named the Tiny Kitchen. It is a Spanish-inspired restaurant, which also offers cakes and pastries. We had these:

The food was delicious! Service was wonderful, too. None of those holier-than-thou waiters and waitresses. lol. Though I must admit, I find their paella negra a bit lacking - in quantity! :D

All in all, a lovely place to take family and friends. Or business associates. :P

My post for this week is something that we had along the road while in Davao (Philippines). This was a place that was frequented by travelers and the area was known for their hito (catfish) dishes. I believe they even have their own catfish ponds located near their restaurant. I definitely saw some fish ponds while we were on the road...

Nothing fancy, definitely. It was one of those eateries where you can even eat with your bare hands, though of course, spoons and forks are always available. No knives, unless maybe if you ask for it. :P

We had their fried hito/catfish, chicken tinola with malunggay, porkchops (had it chopped), rice, and of course...durian! :P

The catfish was really crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside..it was fresh and good! I think I could have eaten the whole fish all by myself! lol. The chicken tinola was a bit tough (they used native chicken, apparently) but the soup was delicious - perfect paired with the other fried dishes. They also gave each of us our own dipping saucers with diced red onions and green tomatoes, whole bird's eye chilis, cucumber slices, and calamansi/calamondin. Soy sauce, coconut vinegar, salt, pepper, and ketchup were also available.

Everything was served piping hot (except for the durian), which made up for the ten (or was it fifteen?) minutes wait. :)

I would eat there again, if given the opportunity. But this time, I'll just maybe go for the catfish dish. And the durian. :P
