Pria's Kitchen: A la Carte on Demand!

I honestly don't remember where I first encountered Pria's Kitchen, but I do remember that I followed her on Instagram.  I then asked Pria to email me her menu - I kept it in preparation for our New Year's Eve dinner last year.

It was only last Saturday night when we celebrated early Father's Day with my in laws did we push through with the order.  My SIL was the one who decided on the menu and did the ordering.  I was very excited to be honest - because seeing Pria's IG feeds, made me salivate every singel time!!

So here are what we got:



Paella Valencia

This is one of the BEST paella that I've ever tasted.  It's moist, full of flavor (as you can see the prawn, mussels, chicken, chorizo and pork pieces!  They're huge!) and really delicious.  I was impressed when I saw it since I saw the big pieces you can really taste the toppings and there's more for everyone.  What I liked most about this paella was that the ingredients were not scrimped - it had a generous serving of all the toppings.  It blended perfectly with the rice too because you'll get a perfect mix of rice and toppings!  Really really good!



Braised Beef with Gravy and Mashed Potatoes

This dish was also very good.  Kailee and Connor in particular loved this.  I found the taste, just right, the beef had a bite to it - the mashed potatoes was wonderfully soft and the gravy was perfect!  It was just unfortunate that we ordered the salmon dish because this was put on the sidelines.  I suggest that you order this or the salmon and not together, so you can appreciate the dish individually.



Salmon with Garlic Cream Crust

This was the STAR of the night.  It shone so brightly that we were all raving about it after every bite.  We declared this as our favorite that night.  What I liked most about the salmon was that it was cooked perfectly (and not overdone - even if we had to reheat it) AND that it was a fatty salmon.  It being a fatty salmon, made all the difference.  It was moist, soft and very very flavorful.  I think Pria chose this salmon very well.  It wasn't malansa at all, and the garlic cream crust complimented the salmon perfectly - and I mean PERFECTLY!  This dish stole the show.  Hahaha!



Pria's 50 Clove Garlic Chicken

Since we were all raving about the Paella and the Salmon, this dish was a bit ignored by us - simply because it was at the end of the spread.  I am partial to chicken and so I tried it.  I liked the combination of herbs and the garlic pieces, but I found the chicken a bit dry.  But overall - I'm sure this would have been a winner if we didn't get the salmon and the paella.  Hahaha!  


Presentation wise, it was a winner.  The dishes were prepared with love, good quality ingredients and they looked very professional and perfect!  I liked that even if we had to reheat the dishes - they were still very good and not overcooked.  We were so happy with the food and we couldn't stop raving about them all night!  For sure we will order again.  There are so many more dishes to try from Pria's Kitchen.  I'm excited!!  

We definitely found a gem in Pria's Kitchen!

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

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
