Stir-fried eggplant

I made more stir-fried eggplant. But this time, I didn't boiled the eggplant and I also used thinly sliced beef and marinated with soy sauce and lemon for an hour. Usually when I cooked, I don't really measure everything. I just do it the way I taste it and my preferences. First, saute the garlic and onion. Then add the marinated beef. Let it set for 15 minutes until it cooked then put the eggplant and carrots. Season it with soy sauce and pepper. Let it stand for another 10 minutes or until the eggplant is cooked. It is best when served with rice. It is really simple and easy.

American Buffet

Its been a long day for both of us today. Hubby and I helped one of our friend to clean his new apartment since he is going to move next month. It is really not easy to move since we already done it trice now (lol). From loading, unloading, cleaning and arranging stuff.

Anyway, after hours of helping. We went to Hometown buffet Restaurant for our treat. For only $9.99 per person. It is all worth it since you can eat everything whatever you wanna eat. Yum! I got every variety of foods since i love to try everything (lol).

My 1st plate

I got my first plate as Italian dish.Spaghetti, chicken Alfredo, stir-fried vegetables and a calzone.

My 2nd plate

I was craving for more so i got Mexican rice, orange chicken and a fried chicken drumstick this time.

Hubby's 1st plate

Hubby got mashed potato, roasted chicken, beef steak, chicken and dumpling and a chicken alfredo. Actually, Hubby got two plates as well but I forgot to take a picture for the other one.

My dessert plate

My Gosh! I was already full for dessert time but looking at those sweet delicious treat on the counter, makes me crave for more (lol). So I got Chocolate cake, chocolate sundae and a chocolate cheesecake.

Hubby's dessert plate

Hubby got rice crispy treat, strawberry sundae and a carrot cake.

Anne's style: stirfry eggplant

They are so many simple ways of cooking an eggplant. I used to cook eggplant alot when I was in the Philippines. My parents grew certain vegetables in our garden including eggplant. During harvest time, the quickest way is to fry them and dip with soy sauce. 

Today, I cooked eggplant in another way and style.  A boiled eggplant sauteed with garlic, onion, tomato, little bit of carrots and jalapeno. Instead of pork, I fried tuna fish and cut it into small pieces and seasoned it with soy sauce and pepper. I really miss this kind of food and so glad i got a chance to prepare it. Yum!

I love Joy!

When it comes to Asian food/restaurant, Joy Teriyaki is the number one place for us . Its been awhile since we haven't eat there. Its hubby's day off and we don't have anything to do.  So we went to our favorite place to dine in and eat.

Hubby ordered Chicken and gyoza all rice cost $6.99 while i got kung pao chicken which is also $6.99. The prices aren't bad at all since they serve large portions of plate.  It is a lot  for me but it doesn't matter because I do have a big appetite when it comes to my favorite food. Yum!

what's for dinner?

Are you looking for an easy and quick way to make dinner? I would recommend this to everyone. Its super fast to prepare and healthy as well. Its a stir-fried chicken with vegetables. Hubby bought a boneless chicken breast and a mixed frozen vegetables. What i did i cut the chicken into strips and put it in a pan with olive oil. Stirfry for awhile until the chicken is cook then add the veggies with yoshida sauce and pepper.Cook it for another 5 minutes or until the vegetable is cook according to your preference (I prefer mine as al dente). In less than 30 minutes, wallah!!! You have a perfect dinner for two and it is best if served with steamed rice.

Halloween treats

sipping my butter beer made by our friend...cheers!

It's been a busy weekend for both of us. As you guys know, we had a Halloween party at our place and been preparing these foods . I honestly don't know what to cook, good thing that one of our friends help us what to prepare during that day.

As a Halloween treats, hubby baked the cake with chocolate frosting in it. Our friend made this cookies and lil smookies (forgot to take a picture). I  made the mummy hotdogs which I learned when my in laws made them last Halloween. I also cooked chicken adobo and pancit palabok to add up for all the foods. One of our friend requested to have a lumpia but I decided not to since there were lots of food already. What I did the next day is that I invited them to dinner then I served lumpia they wanted for ;).
