This signature dish of Sentro 1771 consists of Galunggong (Mackarel/Big-Bellied Round Scad) fillets fried in garlic, oil and topped with browned garlic. Priced at Php 230, the husband and I find it too costly for its quality. Nothing really spectacular about the taste.

Sorry, no uploaded pic. This is my first ever successful dish hooked from a recipe book. It’s my first achievement and I myself was proud and more than satisfied of the outcome. How I wish I should’ve taken a picture of this.

I really find this Kitchenomics Cookbook fascinating and rookie cook-friendly. It provides pictures of the dishes so more or less, you’ll have a glimpse of how the dish should look like. The steps are complete and are easy to follow. It also includes nutrition notes…perfect for those diet-conscious buffs.

Pina Bistek

If I remember correctly, this is the 3rd main dish I tried. Got it from Del Monte’s Kitchenomics Cookbook Vol. 3. Yummy! the pineapple’s taste blends well with the beef and salty overall taste of the dish.

Inredients:
1/4 kilo beef sirloin, sliced, tapa style
1 large onion, sliced into rings
1-3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. calamansi juice
1 can (234 g) Del Monte Fresh Cut Pineapple Tidbits, drained (reserve syrup)

Marinade:
8 cloves garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. calamansi juice
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 pineapple syrup

Procedure:
1 Marinate beef for 1 hour. Drain and reserve marinade. Fry in 1/4 cup oil until light brown. Set aside. Retain 2 Tbsp. oil in pan.
2 In the same pan, sauté onion. Add soy sauce, 1/8 tsp. pepper, calamansi juice and marinade. Simmer for 2 minutes. Add beef and DEL MONTE Fresh Cut Pineapple Tidbits. Simmer once. If desired, serve with fried potatoes.

Breaded Pork Chops

Ingredients:
4 pork chops, medium or large
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 1/2 tsp calamansi juice
1 egg, beaten
oil for frying
salt & pepper to taste

Procedure:
1. Mix calamansi juice, salt and pepper in a bowl.
2. Season pork chops with this mixture and set aside for 30 mins. (This will give the meat enough time to absorb the flavor.)
3. Roll pork in bread crumbs, then moisten with beaten egg and roll again in bread crumbs.
4. Fry over medium heat until golden brown.
