Recipe: Cheese Stick

Because I was too lazy to leave the house last week, I spent all my time cooking.

Let's start with the hardest of them all.

Ingredients:

• Cheese
• Lumpia Wrapper
• Oil

Preparation.

1. Slice the lumpia wrapper into 2 parts. We use only half for cheese sticks.
2. Slice the cheese into sticks, thickness depends on how big you like your cheese sticks.
3. Place 1 and 1/2 cheese on top of the lumpia wrapper. It is highly advisable that you start at the sliced edge.
4. Roll the lumpia wrapper around the cheese, moisten the end of the lumpia wrapper to lock it. You can fold the endpoints or not, it depends on how long you want your cheese sticks. :D
5. Put the wrapped cheese in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

And now we fry.

1. Remove the cheese sticks from the freezer.
2. Heat a pan over medium heat stove.
3. Once hot, place 1/4 to 1/2 cup oil in the pan, this depends on how many cheese sticks you will fry. Fewer sticks = less oil.
4. Place the sticks in the pan and wait for it to float or turn golden.
5. Flip to check even frying and remove from pan.
6. Place in a strainer to remove excess oil or on a plate with tissue paper.
7. Serve

Resto Review: Luis Linaga-an

Because Life caught up with me and I was busy with it. I did not really have time to sit down and type articles though I have lots of ideas.

Today, since there was a power outage and I could not do anything without electricity, the hubby and I decided to go to the city. SM City was still close at 9:30 AM, so we walked a little bit further and ate at Luis Linaga-an. Where the BEST PATA is served in Iloilo, according to the hubby and who am I to argue. (did not bring camera, so no pix: photo below grabbed from the net)

Grabbed from https://yuhumweb.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/311.png?w=880

Luis Linaga-an has 2 branches; one in Diversion Road near SM City Mandurriao, Iloilo City and the other one near Mandurriao Plaza.

It's open 24 hours a day and the menu for Nilaga is shown here, not updated. The PATA is no longer 70 pesos, it is now 80 pesos and the UNOD is 70 pesos. The rest is as is.

Although famous for nilaga, they also serve other dishes since this is technically an eatery.

But this review is for the nilaga, so I'll get on with it.

What we like about the nilaga (boiled meat) of Luis Linaga-an first and foremost is it's not oily. So imagine how many filters and processes the meat has gone through to remove all those oily substances you normally have to contend with when eating this kind of dish.

Second, the unod (meat), kasudluan (innards), and matuk (eyes and brain) are tender and easy to chew, again the intricate process of cooking perfection is not neglected.

Third, no matter what time of day you eat at Luis Linaga-an, the Linaga is always; not microwaved hot but HOT as in left to boil in a pot kind of hot.

Fourth, UNLI SABAW (broth). Yey!!! Even if you do not ask for one, its offered readily. And its tasty sabaw too.

Fifth, the eatery is always clean.

Sixth, the meal is always delicious so you get your money's worth.

Today, we had HALO because that's the only available Laga. And the hubby commented that it's only in the Philippines where you can find a tasty dish that involves the intestines of animals because in other culture, they usually throw this away or use it only as a wrap for sausages and that's rare.

So happy eating.

Let me know what you think of Luis Linaga-an in Iloilo in the comments.

Come Back To Me

I am walking home alone
And the rain is falling strong
I remember all the times
You were there to make it rhyme

It's hard for me to admit
But this is my defeat
Even though it was my decision
I cannot seem to move on

Even if it hurts my pride
I want to hear you say
That you belong with me

So....

Come back to me (2)
Say that you're the prince that is meant for me
Come back to me (2)
Say that you belong with me

Oh baby,

I long to hear you whisper
That it's alright
You are near
And you will make it right

But I pushed you away
And you found happiness
Today's a rainy day
It covers up my madness

Even if I shout for you to

Come back to me (2)
Say that you're the prince that is meant for me
Come back to me (2)
Say that you belong with me

It will never happen now
I must move on
Must continue forward somehow
Its a wrenching lesson

Goodbye to you,
I must put this to rest
I must smile and show
That it was for the best!

Supposedly a song but since I am not gifted in that department
