93/365: Wok With Balut: White Radish Salad Took Away My Sad Mood

3rd of April
This is  quick post replacing a random sad post that I wrote late last night.

Anyway, I was cooking dinner earlier and it was kinda late than usual to my regular cooking time so I thought of pulling that regular stock of chicken from the freezer, thaw it, spread with chicken breading and fried it.  Voila dinner is ready!

Oh… for the kids yes but for the man of the house  na-ah!  Fried chicken should go along with something else that is not dry – soup, vegetable dish or anything,  Problem is… I can’t think of anything that I can whip up quickly.

I took another sweep at the fridge and failed to get an idea. As I closed the fridge door the tray of mixed vegies and all an the table caught my attention.  I saw this bunch of white radish (labanos) that I bought unscheduled this morning plus the tray of huge local red and green tomatoes.  Hmn…

And here’s what happened next: I grabbed these things in just quick minutes then started…
  • Vinegar and sugar with a dash of fine salt, put them altogether on a semi-bowl plate,
  • Wash all the radish, peel them, and grated them all using a cheese grater. Squeezed out all the radish juice and put the grated/squeezed in the bowl with vinegar-sugar-salt solution.
  • Grab a huge white onion and sliced it into rings.
  • Same thing with the huge half-red/half-green tomato and bell pepper.  Put them all top of the radish.
  • Top it with red hot chili pepper that hubby loves.
Voila!  We have something that goes along with the fried chicken!  Try it

But before my hungry wards can get a hold of this salad, I grabbed my phone and took a quick shot.   I’m sorry about the poor quality cause I haven’t soaped my hand yet and I don’t want the smell of the spices to linger on my phone.  The digicam is not within the kitchen’s reach so I hope this quick shot from my mobile phone will do.

  1. So now I'm wondering... What's with the sad post? I never get any ideas when I open the fridge. I'm the worst cook ever, really. But I'm always hungry.

Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children

“this place will break your heart, will make you cry, will make you want to reach out, and will make you feel grateful & thankful, all at the same time…”   They are located at: 1030 Tayuman Street, Tondo, Manila. Their telephone number is (+632) 255-0832 and the contact person is Sister Anselm. I wrote that caption in this same season last year, my first time to visit a place called “Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children”.  I was with a  group of friends along with our respective families.  I could never be thankful enough to our friend Rupert and his family for leading us to this place.  It was not my first time to do a charity visit to an orphanage and I sort of wonder why we were “brief” that this is for special children.  I only realized what that briefing is about when I see for myself how “special” these children are.  I apologize if this may not sound good to some, but the sight of the sick children is heartbreaking.  I tried to look tough and not to

Go Kart at SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex

I’m doing my usual morning run at the SM Mall of Asia bay side when I spotted this area.  It kind of caught me by surprise seeing this area as colorful and lively because I remember during my last run, this area is used to be surrounded with iron sheets coverings, the same thing when there’s something being constructed inside the coverings.  And then I remembered that I had a short break from my morning run.  It seems like this activity is launched while I was on short break from my morning run.   As usual, every time I see something new that looks exciting, I am excited to share the info to you all.  So for those who are into cars and driving, this one’s for you! “Go Kart” !
