Low Cab Side dishes to partner with your ulam. For Pinoy cooking, the concept of sides does not really exist. Rather we have a pairing of main dish (proteins) and vegetable on the table. Plus rice of course. On my budget table I’m always skipping the veggies since they’re not as popular and always results […]
Ginisang Pinakbet Tagalog is a mixture of Filipino Vegetables but unlike in it’s original version, there is no Alamang (shrimp paste) or Bagoong (fermented fish) as a flavoring.

It happens that I cant afford shrimps or prawns for tempura. But when I’m looking for something to pair with fish or any regular pancit, vegetable tempura comes to the rescue.

When I was young, I used to think that cabbage is a vegetable for the rich. I grew up in an island and we have no upland vegetables growing locally. Cabbage can only be bought at an exorbitant price back then. Once, when I was a teenager and was tasked to go to the market, […]
One of my mother’s favorite dish when she’s on a budget is Kangkong with Tokwa in Oyster Sauce. As children, we’re not one for vegetables and we’d often get the “sermon” about children starving somewhere in Africa. When I got older, I outgrew that dislike and now it’s my turn for the speech about children […]
