Weekend Eating - Siomai

Happy new week, foodies! It's Monday once again, time to talk about something I ate from the previous weekend:

Siomai


Last Saturday, my sister and I went to the market because I wanted to buy some shrimps for the Ampalaya Guisado I planned to serve for dinner. Before we had our usual soft ice cream fix, she mentioned she wanted to eat some siomai. I told her there's a kiosk of Master Siomai somewhere, but she told me she wanted to try those cheap ones sold per kilo, so I walked with her to this one stall in the market that sells that and other processed meat foods.

It wasn't our first time to try it, actually. In 2009, I first tried it and it tasted okay, so we had no problems about it. For 20 pesos per 1/4 kilo, it was a good buy; it tasted like regular siomai, but of course I have to agree it was more extenders than actual meat. Sister liked it - she said she would buy again this coming week, and until I learn how to do it, I guess I will just have to go with it, too. Siomai is one of the foods I really hope to cook, but I just couldn't get right.

Yeah, I will try again.

sis,I know I said I will join this meme of yours, but I got caught up with TBE. Don't you worry,I'm thinking of creating a travel blog in the next few days and that is what I'm going to use to join you. :)

Visiting thru The Bloggers Exchange (Feb/Mar Link Collection). I hope you can visit me back. Thanks!
as the saying goes (and most of the time, it turns out to be true) ...... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

Jenn, the Foodie


I come from a family who loves cooking and eating. I never had any formal training in cooking and that I taught myself how to cook based on the handed down recipes, but I could say that I can cook good food. In 2008, I started documenting my food trips for my travel blog, and since I have quite enough to start a food blog, might as well put all those food trips in one location. Thus, a food blog is born - thanks to the new Friendster Blogs. However, due to several problems, I was left with no choice but to pack bags again and move here instead. Here's the permanent address, promise! Enough talk, let the food trippin' begin! {Know More About Me}
