Chori Burger (New York's Best Burger)

Burger is one of the most popular food in the United States of America. But just recently, the most delicious burger in New York City was awarded to Jeepney Gastropub, a Filipino restaurant in the apple city owned by Nicole Ponseca and Chef Miguel Trinidad. Their entry? The Chori burger, its patty is made with ground beef and filipino sausage (a.k.a longganisa). And to make the chori burger really filipino, the owner use banana catsup instead of tomato ketchup. It goes with papaya pickles or atsara and sweet potato fries ( kamote fries). You can have this champion burger for only $17 (more or less P731 in Philippine currency). 

But did you know that the original chori burger was originated in Boracay? Yes, you are reading it right! The chori burger was made popular by Merly's BBQ, a local food stall along the beach of Boracay.

Merly's BBQ offers only grilled foods and skewers, but their foreign tourists need for bread  made them decide to sell burgers using chorizo/longganisa as burger patties and banana catsup as an alternative to tomato catsup and they shout it "chori burger" which means chorizo burger.

Also Try: Filipino Sausage Fried Rice.

Due to its demand and popularity, other big restaurants on the beach also started to sell chori burgers, but Merly's BBQ owner proudly say that their chori burger is the best and the original and they're glad that the popularity of their burger have reached up to New York City U.S.A.

8. BICOL EXPRESS: Bicol what? yeah you read it right, Bicol Express. Its name derived from Bicol province Philippines. Bicol is known for this flaming hot crop, chili (aside from Mt. Mayon). For some reasons, bicolanos really love spicy foods from ginataan to adobo, they always put chili in every dish they make. Bicol Express is a coconut milk based dish with a barrage of kicks from chili.

9. LUMPIA SHANGHAI: A Filipino spring rolls made of ground pork, finely chopped carrots, minced garlic, onion and kinchay. Simply delicious!

Dinuguan means to incorporate blood (to the dish). It occurs from the filipino word "dugo" which means blood.

The classic filipino dinuguan don't have vegetables, except for the green long chili to add kick to the dish and some sliced ginger to make rid of the bloody taste and smell. Today, I'm working to add vegetables as an extender and I'm going to utilize chayote (Sayote) to make the dish healthier.

1 cup chopped chayote
2 pcs long green pepper
1 medium sized onion, chopped finely
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 cup water
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
10 oz pork blood


HOW TO COOK PORK DINUGUAN WITH SAYOTE:

1. Sauté the garlic and onion in a pan.

2. Add the pork and sauté for about 5 minutes.

3. If you like it to be more tasty, you may add 1 pork or beef cube followed by a cup or two of water.

4. Simmer until the water is almost gone to tenderize the meat.

5. Add the pork blood and mix well. Let this simmer for 10 minutes.

6. Add the vinegar and chopped chayote. Simmer for 15 minutes.

7. Put the brown sugar in followed by the long green pepper and simmer for 2 minutes.

8. Serve with white rice and enjoy. Bon Appetit!

Home-made Lemon iced Tea

Home-made Lemon Iced Tea

Home-made Lemon iced Tea

So, you finally want to make your own lemon iced tea huh?! What makes you decide to make it from the scratch? Perhaps you got bored from the usual easy-to-prepare straight from the pack iced tea or maybe you're simply curious about what the home-made fresh lemon iced tea tastes like. Whatever your reason is, you got to the right place.

Making refreshing drinks on your own is quite amazing, especially if you personally like the result of what you have made. Plus the fact that you're sure that it's safe, clean, fresh and no preservatives added.

My 2 kids love iced tea so much, they ask for it almost everyday. It's all right with me, but I'm a bit worried about the "powdered" thing and if you check the ingredients label you can see many artificial additives in it. If I let my kids drink powdered iced tea everyday, I won't be surprised if they double their weight in just a couple of months and I have to blame it to the amount of sugar content of this drink.

So what I did is, I made my own lemon iced tea from a scratch and here are the ingredients.

INGREDIENTS:

2 quarts of water
3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
2 ounces (60 mL) fresh lemon juice
2 bags of black tea


HOW TO MAKE LEMON ICED TEA:

1. Bring two quarts of water to a rolling boil.

2. Drop the two tea bags into the water and remove from heat. Cover with a lid and allow steeping for at least 30 minutes.

3. Once the tea has been sufficiently steeped, remove the tea bags and add the sugar and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves.

4. Pour tea into a pitcher and add ice cubes until the volume has returned to two quarts.

5. Refrigerate until completely chilled (at least four hours) before serving.

3. Mix the condensed milk and ripe mangoes together and set aside.
 
4. Now let's set the ref cake layers. In a large container or deep tray, lay the graham crackers first, then spread the ripe mangoes mixture on top and cover with all-purpose cream all the way until everything is fully covered.

5. Step 5? Just do the step 4 until you make a 3 to 4 layers of ref cake.
 
6. Sprinkle over the crushed grahams until everything is covered.
