Wondering what dish is this? Don’t worry, even I don’t know. 
This has been cooked in one of the many nights where I have no choice but to come up with something using the very limited stocks on hand. This time, I only have 2 vegetables in the fridge and obviously, chicken for the meat. In this house, it’s a must to have meat, in whatever kind – pork, chicken, beef or fish – to come with the veggies.
For the chicken, I used the same method in cooking Chicken Fillet with Braised Peas. Then boil the baby potatoes until cooked and set aside. Cook the 2 at the same time. When both are done, saute garlic, onion, boiled potatoes and chinese cabbage. Season with salt and pepper and cook just until the cabbage is done. In a plate, arrange the veggies and the chicken as to how you prefer.
Easy, right? That’s another “pacham” from my kitchen. I still have other pachams yet to be published, but I’m now in a serious research about the

We thought it’ll be easy that we’ll have it the first try, but as they say – the more you like it, the harder it will be. Still… we won’t give-up trying and praying. We know it will be given to us in God’s time.
I miss having a baby again, I miss the carying and taking good care of my own little one, and I miss breastfeeding. When I’ve just given birth, I often ask other mothers about how to product more breast milk and all of them suggested that I add malunggay leaves in every meal as much as possible and I did. I did it because ever since, I believe in the power of breastfeeding – its health benefits to the baby, the bond that it builts between the mother and the child, and the fact that it helps lose the pregnancy weight. I exclusively breastfed my daughter for 10 months, but if only circumstances allowed us then, I should’ve breastfed her longer.
Now, I’m looking forward to adding malunggay leaves again to most of my meals. I still don’t know if it exists in the land of the English, but if not, then I’d have to find other ways. Nothing can stop me from breastfeeding my future baby.
Squash or Kalabasa in Tagalog is widely availbale here in London, so one time I decided to cook it in coconut milk. It usually has string beans so when I found string beans for the first time, I immediately asked how much and I almost fell down when the vendor answered, “£3.00″. Gosh! It’s like $5? So I went back to my ever reliab
