Sinuglaw aka “Surf and Turf Kinilaw”

May 20, 2010

Soft, cremy, raw butterfish and pork belly marinated in sugarcane vinegar, lime juice, and coconut milk, with chiles, and cilantro oh my goodness I gizzed in my pants.

Here is its creator, Tim Luym and his little mini army of “Surf and Turf Kinilaw”.

I learned that Kinilaw may have been one of the first ways insular South East Asians prepared food, taking fresh fish and shellfish alike straight from the ocean and prepping them seaside washed with cool ocean water and flavored with kalamansi limes and other citrus fruits.

Grilled meats or Sinugba is also popular, if not another early way of cooking for all societies across the globe. Why? Because Sinugba means to cook over a fire! Fire was invented like hella years ago. The term Sinugba is possibly derived from the Filipino word for burn, “Sunog.”

And when you combine both Kinilaw and Sinugba together, you form the most powerful element in the universe: Sinuglaw. Or in Tim’s terms, “Surf and Turf Kinilaw.”

Special thanks to the Asian Culinary Forum in San Francisco for giving San Franciscans the opportunity to learn, share, and eat Filipino fare both traditional and contemporary!

One of my favorite parts

May 20, 2010

This scene where Junior’s parents are arguing about everything under the sun is one of my favorites.

Lino Brocka’s “Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang” was one of the 3 Brocka films I had the privilege to watch during the last SF Asian-Am Festival.

Turns out its on YouTube with English subtitles! Sayang! (What a waste!)

I can’t stop replaying the first 5 seconds of Part 11.

This is one deep painter

May 12, 2010

After a deep depression, Joey Velasco began to create paintings that merged both his spiritual realizations with the “realities” of life, specifically the realities of poor children in his area.

Upon doing so he created “Hapag ng Pag-asa” or “Table of Hope”, his own rendition of “The Last Supper.”

He went out and found 12 children in surrounding slum areas and cemeteries and included them in the piece in place of the 12 apostles. After doing so, he found homes for all 12 families of the children. For him, art does not only imitate life, it changes it.

A few more of my favorite paintings of his below…

Mother’s day tribute in wanna-be Bisaya

Formal mode!

Ma, salamat kaayo sa imong supporta para sa naho kay ug wa ka dito wa ko kaibaw asa ko ron. Hinumdom ko nga hantod sa bata pa ko, sigig ka toon naho mga multiplcation tables, pag basag libro, ug saon ug suwat mga stars.

Dili kaayo sakto ahong bisaya ug dili ka anad sa internet, basta mas maayo na express naho ahong feelings diri sa ahong gamayng blog.

Happy mother’s day mama, even though you don’t use the internet, at least the other 2-3 people who visit this blog know I love you and am thankful for what you’ve done for me.

A solid rock, from the ground up!

I like this video because Charice doesn’t make the cut for some musical so she breaks into a theater and sings her ass off and makes a friend with some random guy who walks in and records her on stage with his phone and then they leave together to do a record deal using the profits to buy out the musical who didn’t accept her but instead of firing the cast she pays them more money and includes them on her tours.

Go Charice you talented and nice person you!

A Filipino food TRUCK hits the Bay: Hapa SF

April 28, 2010

Find all 4 major food groups in one place.

Once upon a time I was taking Tagalog classes and one of my classmates during an exercise says, “Gusto ako mag gumawa ng Filipino food sa trak.”

I said, “Talaga? Sigi, gumawa that shiet. I’d love to see that one day”.

Who knew that day would come so fast? (That’s what she said.)

The Irish-Filipino chef, William, is now on Facebook and Twitter, and… somewhere in the Bay Area.

Salamat dad!

“What’s the proper name for one of those?”

“Easy! Balisong. Its Filipino.”

NO, its pronounced “Boang-ka-Nicolas-Cage-mo-buslot-imong-anak-diha-leche.”

Boodle Fight

April 18, 2010

(Photo 2005 Gregory C. Tyler)

“U.S. Marines from Okinawa-based 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and Philippines Marines celebrate the completion of Amphibious Landing Exercise 2006 at Marine Base Ternate, Philippines, Oct. 29, 2005, with a traditional Philippine military lunch called a “boodle fight.”

In a boodle fight, Filipino foods are served on top of leaves laid out on a series of long tables. The participants line both sides of the table and grab the food with bare hands, enjoying the friendship established during the exercise.

The annual bilateral Philippines and United States exercise is designed to improve interoperability, increase readiness and continue professional relationships between the U.S. and Philippines armed forces. Approximately 5,000 U.S. and Philippines military personnel participated in the exercises.”

What is a boodle fight? Its a food fight during peacetime.
