Recall your Mother's Best Meal

After a busy day at work or school, we cannot wait for one of our mom's delicious lunch or supper.For me, some of my mom's best menu consists of Pork Sinigang (buto buto or liempo), pork chop, beef steak, chop suey.On special occasions, she cooks her famous pancit palabok, rice cake(biko), lumpiang sariwa and bopis. In addition, of course, New Year is not complete without her Bulalo (Filipino beef bone marrow soup)

I always remember my mother preparing our food everyday, going to the market to buy anything that will fit to her tight budget but she always make sure that get all the nutrition we needed and at the same enjoying the food she is serving us.Mom's scrumptious meals are always something to look forward to .But now that I am a mother myself, I make sure that my children enjoys my cooking just like when I was a kid.This post reminds me too of my mom's birthday next month .She will be 70 years old and will be throwing a big party.Sadly,me and my kids cannot be there  on her big day.Happy birthday mother dear!We love you.

  3. I love sinigang too, although I prefer sugpo rather than pork. In my case, nothing beats my mom's bechamel pesto. It's creamy with a touch of tomato and herbs.

    Anyway, I wish your mom good health and long life. I hope you get to see her soon. :)

  4. You bet! Sinigang is one of my favorite dish. That sour taste that stings the tongue and the delicious taste that will linger until you have swallowed what you have put in your mouth. Sinigang! I'm drooling now...

  18. Oh, dang... nabasa ko palang ang word na sampalok, naglaway na ako. haha!

    Yung luto ni nanay, ganito rin.. well, except for the gabi and string beans, Hindi nya nilalagyan. Pechay ata ang nilalagay, tsaka a few slices of repolyo, then radish, of course. :D Kanya-kanyang istilo din ng pagluluto, but that was one great dish. I love my nanay.

    Thanks for sharing your recipe, ms tess.

  20. Para sa'yo Tess

    Malinaw na nakasulat na masarap talaga magluto si Nanay mo,
    At na mana mo ang kanyang talento at galing sa pagluto.
    Yan din ang pamana ni Nanay ko na ibinahagi ko rin sa ibang tao.
    Kaya ngayon si Nanay ko naman ang pinagluluto ko.

    Nako nakakagutom basahin ang iyong rekado,
    Kaya aalis na ako para magluto ng aking paborito.
    Hanggang sa muli Tess-Torrecampo,
    Hindi na i-sali ang isa pang apelyedo.
    At sana'y hindi ka magbabago.

    -Jenny O'Toole

  21. Kakagutom! My mom's best meal is her home-made Minatamis na Baka. Yes, she cooks a lot of good food but my siblings and I can replicate those now EXCEPT for the Minatamis na Baka which is why it still holds a special place in my heart.

    Thanks to your post, I'll be cooking sinigang again soon!

  24. Being a mom is such a rewarding task. We can never thank our mother enough for those incomparable passion they have shown to us in different ways. Not until we become a mother ourselves.

    Hmm, parang feeling ko tuloy Mother's Day na. hehe.
