Favorite Food: Kinilaw

Mommy Janet was wondering if I would submit my own entry for this weeks theme (favorite food) for PMC‘s Weekly Fest. Since its not required that you are the once who cooked it, all that matter is that it’s your favorite food.

My all-time favorite food is KINILAW. A tasty raw fish dish from the Philippines.

Ingredients:
- 1 kilo tuna
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium cucumber
- Pinch of salt
- 1 medium ginger
- 5 pieces lemon
- 2 pieces hot chili
- 2 medium tomatoes

Procedure:
1. First, you have to clean the fish and cut it into cubes
2. Put it into the bowl
3. Pour the vinegar
4. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze it.
5 Put the sliced onion, sliced tomatoes, ginger, cucumber and salt to taste in the bowl together with the fish
6 Leave it out for one hour in the refrigerator before you serve

    Hey Mommy Ruby…

    Ganda ‘maga po. Kinilaw? Hmm…I’ll eat pag di ako gumawa…hehe.

    Anyway, I got your message sa aking EC. I went to check on the personalized badge for PMC..didn’t see it. Of course I may be looking at the wrong place. I saw some other badges for other Mommies but I didn’t see mine.

    Actually, I don’t even know what I’m looking for..duh! hahaha..

    Ang sarap naman kasi ng kinilaw… it is my favorite as well and if i remember it good, the last time I ate it is when I was in Iloilo…years back pa yun, either 2006 or 2005… Well, only when my lolo there makes it or I make it… buying outside is not so safe naman kasi.

    I also tried the kinilaw na pork and it tasted so good as well, especially with too much chili…hmmm..lumalaway na ako! wala naman ksing sukang pinoy dito sa italy.. na miss ko na tuloy pinoy food sa post mo na to…

    …just sharing my thoughts..

    Take care and best regards,

    [...] Well, as for sleeping is concern, I try to get as much as I can but having three children and one of them is a baby, you can’t get that much as of now. But for pork dishes, that is where I am so guilty of. Eating pork dishes is my favorite, I only eat fish if they are cooked as tinola or my all time favorite kinilaw. [...]
