Teriyaki Salmon


My children love Salmon fish very much. The Salmon head is excellent for Sinigang while the middle part of the fish is good for grilling. Sprinkle it with a bit of salt and pepper and you now have a delicious viand.

With a bit of experimentation, I discovered that marinating the Salmon with Teriyaki sauce is yummier than Sinigang.

Teriyaki Sauce (for 350g of Salmon fillter):
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c honey
a thumb-sized ginger, finely chopped
a clove of garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
salt & pepper

Custard Cake


There are things that bring back sweet happy childhood memories. Living outside my home country for a long time, I cannot helped it but to miss special things, especially food, that can only be found in my home country.

I remember when I was in primary school, my Mom used to buy custard cakes from Alvarez Bakeshop for our recess. This is one of the many food that I truly missed back home :) Unfortunately, you cannot find custard cakes in bakeshops here in Australia or even in New Zealand; or if they have any it is not the same as what we have back home. Glad to say that it is not really that hard to make it!

Custard Cake is just like a Leche Flan and Chiffon cake put together. It is the effort and the passion that you put in into the recipe that will make it extra special and yummy!
