I always love dinners at Auntie Juliet’s.
There is something about dining at the Chua home, the relaxed and unpretentious setting, with people who love and take good care of each other genuinely and without condition, that reminds me of dining in my own home.
I love dinners at Auntie Juliet’s.
Especially when it’s Filipino food we’re having.
Pochero – a classic Filipino stew of beef, pork or chicken in a tomato based soup with vegetables like cabbage, carrots, green beans and pechay among others
Fish head sinigang (minus the soup) – another classic Filipino soup dish which uses tamarind as base, giving the broth a sour flavor that is very hard to resist
Vegetables in the fish head sinigang
Chicken and pork adobo – dubbed the Philippine national dish, adobo is made by slowly cooking chicken or pork in soy sauce, vinegar, crushed garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns. Perfect with rice!
Shrimps
Roast chicken
Complete with homemade achara - pickled carrots and green papaya
Chocolate truffle cake from Queen’s Konditorei – because no meal is complete without a chocolate dessert
Me in my Proud Pinoy shirt (but of course!), Auntie Juliet, cousin Monica and my adorable little foodie-in-the-making nephew Jenson
