Chicken -Sweet Corn Siomai   and the latest one where I got the leftover, Chicken siomai with quail egg Another shot of the quick wrapping. I was doing the wrapping in a hurry so I was not the one who took the photos... Thats my knee.. lol Another angle of the small parcels, ready o be fried. deep frying this is easy. I was not able to take a photo of the cooked version due to time constraints!!! Quail egg and the molo/siomai wrapper from our local wet market ready for frying... Serve with soy sauce and calamansi. And because I was in super hurry, I used the local Toyomansi or pre-prepared soy sauce with calamansi.

In this siomai, I just used chicken breast, carrots, onions and garlic. I followed same method of preparation and cooking as my earlier recipe for  CHICKEN-SWEET CORN SIOMAI  In this one, I just placed hard-boiled quail eggs on top of the semi-wrapped siomai before steaming the same.... I was in a hurry so I just got a few photos! Happy cooking and eating...

Our Persian Dinner

Image
We had a Persian Dinner in an obscure resto in Quezon City and we loved their offering. Here are the photos of the food we had. Lamb kebab must be. Hummus or Tahini is so pasty and goes well with the flat bread.  Yogurt Shake to shake off the spiciness.      Baklava. I'm dreaming of having Baklava again. This sweet crusty nutty layers are so memorable and best paired with tea. Shall make one in the future.
