Roast Pork and Roast Potatoes

I could never give-up pork... All of my favourite dish is made of pork... My favourite food is tied between Siopao Bola Bola and Siopao Asado and the latter is made of pork. This particular dish that I cooked for my supper was so good. It is the pork's belly so the fat marbles explicitly with the meat. It is heaven as the fat melts like a butter when eaten, such divine. I don't like praising my own food creation, but this time... this is such an epiphany. The roast potato balances the greasy and heavy pork so it is a perfect combination. Easy to make and delicious.

Ingredients:

Pork Belly

Olive Oil

Salt

Pepper

Garlic Cloves

Potato

Parsley

Direction:

Rub the pork belly with salt and pepper and put into an ovenproof pan that is brushed with olive oil then dash olive oil into the pork belly. Crush the garlic cloves and put it in the pan. Leave it in the oven on a 180 C or 160 C Mark 6 for 45 minutes. For the roast potato, cut the potatoes into four and boil it for 11 to 14 minutes. Drain and dry. I know it says roast potato, but what I did is fried the potato in a frying pan using some of the oil from the pork belly, in that way, I am binding the taste of the pork and the potato. Also, take some of the garlic cloves that weren't burnt, mash and mix it in the potatoes while frying. Plate it, sprinkle some parsley and take a picture before eating. Bon appetit mes amis! 

Strawberry Cheese Cupcakes

I truly love cupcakes because it's easier to make yet as tasty as the next scrumptious cake there is. Plus the limitless way of designing a cupcake is fun. Even without formal baking or food decorating skills, one will definitely find making a cupcake easy and enjoyable. To achieve the milky strawberry taste, I added Nesquick Strawberry Milk to the cupcake itself and the cheese frosting.

Ingredients:

100g Sugar

100g Self-Raising Flour

4-6 Tbsp Nesquick Strawberry Milk Powder

5 Tbsp Milk

1-2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

2 Eggs

Strawberries

Cream Cheese

Direction:

Preheat the oven at 180 C. Mix the butter and sugar then slowly add the eggs. Add the vanilla extract too. Sift the flour and mix it with the wet ingredients. Dissolve the 4 to 5 tbsp of nesquick powder to the 4 tbsp of milk then add it to the cupcake batter/ Put the mixed ingredients to the tin with paper cups and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 160 C. Let it cool. Dissolve 1 tbsp of nesquick powder to 1 tbsp of milk and mix it to the cream cheese. Spread the cream cheese and top it with strawberries.

Sunny Side-up with Toast, Tomato, Cheese and Greens

This is very easy, basically, you just fry an egg, toast some bread and put whatever toppings you want. I like tomato, cheese and green leafy vegetable... so that's what I've put in my food. My uncle told me that it has a proper flemish name... but I forgot the name already. Anyway, this is so wonderful because it may look like a breakfast meal, but the truth is, this dish is more than a breakfast food.

Direction:

Just fry the egg ala sunny side up, toast the bread, top it with sliced tomato, any kind of green leafy vegetables, mine was watercress and spinach. Grate some cheese, add salt and pepper and a bit of extra virgin olive oil then put the egg on top. Sprinkle some smoked paprika.
