Black Saturday is SALMON Day!

did it ever happen to you that suddenly, you change your menu once you're in the grocery? well, it happens to me all the time... when i went to the grocery first thing today, my mind was set to making the romaine salad which i blogged yesterday. but then, since a high school friend of mine, Ryan Montajes, emailed me his recipe for the corriander vinaigrette, i had to change my menu and try experimenting on a new recipe... while at the thai spice lane of the grocery store, i remembered that Burnz gave me a laksa paste (thai paste), it made me think again what to pair it with! hahahaha... oh diba, masyadong magulo ako mag-isip, kung anu-ano na lang! hahahaha... so, i ended up buying different ingredients for my salad, and bought salmon fish for my thai dish for tonights dinner... feeling chef diba? hahahaha...so this is the ganap for tonights dinner! lol :) setting is at the carinderia of my landlord where i do my OJT. chos! :)

me and the dishes i made for dinner! hahaha

jana, my landlord's kasambahay who helped me prepare all this! lol :)

Burnz! this is what i did for the thai laksa paste.. i used it in my salmon dish and paired it with coconut  milk! hahaha... the taste was so impressive and sinful coz nakakarami ng kain sa rice! a very sinful viand! hahaha.. kiver, kumain ako with rice, ano ngayon?!!! hahaha :)

salad with corriander vinaigrette

Burnz, i was expecting this salad of mine to turn green but it didn't! hahaha... you know what, i minced the corriander, super, kapoy ad2x hap! hahaha.... siguro it will turn green had i used a blender... what you think? i was aiming for ala maya na salad! ambisyosa talaga! didn't achieve it, but still, it was good! thank you Ryan Montajes for the corriander vinaigrette recipe, as in!

my other boardmates - dont mind the kaldero sa mesa, paubos na kasi ang rice, dinala na lang nila! hahahaha

i invited these two girls for dinner since they were about to have dinner when i saw them. when they learned that the fish was salmon, they said, "ay, ang sosyal!" ... "kakahiya naman kumain!" .... hahahha...i told them, you feast on it kasi ngayon lang din yan.. di na mauulit yan, sa 2013 pa yan maluluti ulit yang dish na yan! hahahaha.. chos! :)

its good to know that they adored the dishes i've prepared... gusto ko talagang maging chef, as in! as in seriously contemplating to enrol this year pero parang sobrang mahal ata... anong culinary school ang maganda, any idea? :)

tight hugs,
