Garlic and Lemon by Karen

Obviously, I like to eat.  So when I see food pics on my IG that interests me - I get curious.  This is what happened when I saw Michelle of MyMomFriday's IG post on Garlic and Lemon.  It got me so curious that I ordered.  Karen is such a pleasant person to text with - she suggests and is very candid.  A few days after placing my order, the goods arrived and here they are!!



The picture above is the Wonton.
It was frozen when it was delivered and I suggest you place it in the freezer immediately too!!
Just be careful in thawing because when I thawed mine before cooking, the skin was sticky and was falling off the wonton ball.  But nevertheless - it tasted good.  Below is a my version of a wonton noodle soup.


The wonton was good enough.  I wish though, there would be more shrimp - since I knew that when one says wonton - it should be made of shrimp with a little meat.  I guess here in Manila, it's the opposite!  Hahaha.. But it's good and I like that's is a good sized wanton that is packed with meat and flavor.


Above is the Tafo Puff.  I have to admit that I hated this when I was younger, I didn't know better!  Haha.. These can be steamed according to Karen, but for me - oil is better!  Hahaha.  Yes, I love oil.  So I fried these babies and below is what happened.


The Taro Puff kinda crumbled, but it was okay.  It's not the best, but it's good enough for me!!  Of course you won't be able to compare this side by side with a restaurant Taro Puff - but I think this can hold on it's own.  The taro is rich and if you like taro, then this is for you! I wish there were more meat though, but that's just me.  My Panget liked it and ate most of it.  Hahaha!!  He likes taro very much!



This one is really really really good!  The Skinless Longganisa!  I was so excited to try this and I loved every bit of it!  The taste is so perfect, the right combination of sweet and garlicky!  It was very very tasty!  I swear, you can ask my helper at home - I had to ask her to cook more for me when I first tried it!  I initially asked her to cook 3 pieces but it wasn't enough!  She had to cook more!!  This is Karen's gem, this one you should really really order!!  My Panget liked it but wished there were more garlic, but for me the taste is just right, tamang tama ang timpla!


Look at that beauty.  WOW!  It's pretty right?  But I swear, it tastes even better than it looks!! :)  You guys need to try it!!

You may call, text, Viber or message Karen of Garlic and Lemon on FB to inquire and to order!
Here' is their Facebook Page - Garlic and Lemon.  I'm so happy that I found her!!  Now, when I'm not in the mood to cook or is missing a helper or two, I won't have a hard time thinking of what to prepare!  Hehehe...

Thank you Karen!!

  1. We all love her longganisa! It's a monthly order, hehehehe...
    I am a "Taro Puff Girl" hahaha... what I did to make it more crispy is to dredge it lightly in flour and then coat it with panko/crumbs pa - so it did not crumble when fried, and it looks a lot better. Have not tried her wonton, but I always order the siomai, and newly discovered Beancurd Roll!
    Thanks for the linkback! ;)

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
