My kind of guy - The Sandwich Guy. That is a bad pun but whatever. This post is however, dedicated to the sandwich lovers out there (*coughs*). 

Aesthetically wise, they did a good job at the details which is a plus for me because I take everything into consideration. The interior is very smart with the hexagon shape which you can obviously find on the sandwich and the tables and chairs. The sandwiches look good too as you can see in the photos below.

As for the taste, tasty but not overbearing because you'll still be able to taste the wheat bread. Mushy Bacon is worth every penny. Well, you can't go wrong with bacon but there is just something very comforting to the taste buds when it comes to the combination of bacon and mushroom melt - a foodgasmic experience. In the case of Angry Beef, still yummy but it would have been better if the chili con carne taste would turn up because the veggies took over the meaty taste and as the name implies it should explode with some crazy beef action. But I still liked it though.

All I see is RED! This recipe is based on Kevin Lynch's recipe or rather more of a response to his recipe. It is actually pretty doable for a beginner in cooking (like me). All you have to do is saute, add ingredients and let it boil then simmer. When you have this for left over, it is much tastier because the ingredients were marinated for a long time.

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 pound pork belly (cut into bite sized pieces) - samgyeopsal

                    in this recipe we used bacon as a substitute
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
2 cups dashi (or water)
1 cup kimchi (cut into bite sized pieces)
2 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon gochugaru
1/2 package tofu (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 small onion (sliced)
1 cup zucchini (cut into bite sized pieces)
2 green chilies (sliced)
2 green onions (sliced)

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a large sauce pan.
2. Add the pork and saute until it is no longer pink, about 2-5 minutes. In this case, since we run out of pork belly, our alternative is bacon. A bit pricey but it's definitely worth the price I tell you.
3. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.

4. Add the kimchi and water or dashi, bring to a boil.
5. Mix in the gochujang and gochugaru and simmer for 20 minutes.

6. Add the tofu, onion, zucchini and chilies and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes.

7. Remove from heat and add the green onions.

And now the finish product!

Went to BGC to actually celebrate my father's birthday in the newly opened IHOP (International House of Pancakes) but unfortunately we were on the waiting list like the 40th on the list. Irritated by the thought of having to starve for the birthday celebration just for pancakes my father decided to dine in Abe. Abe is a Filipino Restaurant with a strong accent of Capampangan.

The taste of the food here is so rich. My personal favorites are the binagoongang baboy, kaldereta, crispy pata and kare - kare. What I didn't like so much was the Sinigang na Tanigue sa bayabas because it wasn't sour it was sweet most likely because they added cinammon in it.

I am a korean food junkie. It all started with my love for kimchi at such a young age then came the korean dramas. When I saw Yoon Eun Hye ate those yummy looking jjajangmyun, I couldn' t help but want to taste it too. So, the first korean food that I've eaten aside from kimchi is the "samgyeopsal" or pork belly thanks to my college friend who introduced it to me. It was a match made in heaven you know, me + korean food = love. I have a knack on spotting for different korean restaurants and compare prices and the taste. So far, Daeyang Korean Restaurant is the best when it comes to providing you quality and quantity which leads to its mouth drooling and glutton friendly "Unlimited Samgyeopsal" for only 350 php. Wow, that just beats every korean restaurant I've been to. Inclusive of unlimited rice and soup too.
