Recipes

Watermelon flipped on grill

Grilled WatermelonIf you haven't tried grilled watermelon yet, I beg you, please try it! It turns the common granular, sweet and juicy melon into some bizarre sweet and savoury, firm, meat-like treat that is beyond words. The great thing is, it's so incredibly cheap and easy to do! This is the simple-as-can be method, but you could try using different spices if you'd like. I urge you to try this on its own, though, so you can experience this incredible texture. If you don't have a grill, you could even bake it.

 

Simplified Bicol Express

Simplified Bicol ExpressBicol express is a traditional dish from the Philippines. The Bicol region is famous of its creamy texture and spicy flavor. This is a type of stew made from coconut milk, chillies, pork, shrimp paste and some other spices. This recipe I'm making is simplified with just coconut milk, chillies and some beans, but it still tastes the same.
