Dining at Home

I really look forward to weekends spent at home since I have all the time in the world to prepare our meals. During weekdays, I always end up eating at the school canteen where my kids also take their lunch. Here's a glimpse of what we had over dinner...



How about Crispy Kangkong for appetizer?


Spicy Gambas, anyone?



Or, how about Pork Strips in Char Siu Sauce?

Gingered Pork in Oyster Sauce

This morning was one of those Sundays when everyone in the household would wake up very, very, very late. We didn't even wake to our usual wake up call from the Julie's mobile bakeshop. Which meant that we simply missed our daily supply of Jeremy's favorite "elorde" bread and Fran's most requested "plain ensaimada." Well, anyway, the kids still enjoyed beating their hotcake mix on their own while their Auntie Joyce cooked the batter in the pan for them. We all enjoyed our pancake breakfast a la McDo :)

As I engrossed myself chatting with cousin Elaine and Hubert, I was alarmed looking at the clock and that it was almost time for lunch. I have 3 mouths to feed and I haven't even thawed the meat! Tsk...tsk...tsk... Most of all, I don't have an idea what to cook, hahaha, I thought I have my day off on Sundays. Well, I guess not! Poor me...

Anyway, after 30 minutes of deliberating and the meat has softened, I finally made up my mind and came up with this delectable dish...

Gingered Pork in Oyster Sauce




P.S. I'm so glad it passed the most critical standards of my daughter Frances' palate, who mostly chooses to eat only fried chicken, fried pork, hotdogs, and scrambled eggs. She hates anything with sauce except for spaghetti, so I'm so happy she has tried to explore eating this one with oyster sauce:)
