All of us have own taste, as we taste good to the flavour, we define it as our favourite. Sometimes when we feel bored in what we eat, we become adventurous when it comes to the interest in foods. We find something new which are unique, different taste and another flavour. Cooking is just an activity but making it is an award. Many of the Filipinos compete cross out of the country to present their good cooking style to make us proud.
I am not choosy in food I eat. Since it taste good, it is best for me. One of my favourites is “Pinaputok na Tilapia”. It became my favourite since I attend fiesta to my classmate, Myka Elma. She was my former classmate from elementary to high school. She has also been my best friend, closeness are between in our relationship being a loyal friend to each other. Going back to my favourite cook fish, I am also present to their house when fiestas because of her own cook tilapia.
What the best to her tilapia is, it is so lip smacking and easy to cook. First, prepare tomatoes, garlic, onion, and seasoning mix. Slice all these ingredients into its smallest parts and put inside the tilapia. Then at the skin of the fish put the mix reno and alamang. Then veil it with foil and the last process is to steamed it. After an hour, you will have now a simply special “Pinaputok na Tilapia”. She said that she got this from her mother whose now is in the other country.
Her cooking skills build up since she took up Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM) course. In this field, she learned a lot, like expanding a recipe by adding twist on it. One of it “Cod Fish Cake”, it is not actually a cake; it is just because of it its round shape, like an ordinary shape of cake. Its ingredients are parsley, cod fillet, potato, butter, lemon, flour, cayenne pepper, oil. All those ingredients are mix up with the flesh of fishes and shaped it in a circle shape. Then, for its garnishing parsley, you will need to put lemon wedges. From its original taste of sweet and sour, it adds a little bit spicy on it. Even I am not yet taste her cook, I feel that its balance flavour of it win my satisfaction to that food.
She said that, in cooking are like playing to kids. Just make them happy by giving their wants and at the same time teach them good behaviour as the start of their growing up. In cooking just put the ingredients that you feel taste good to it and not just delicious but safe to eat and click your interest to cook also once you taste it. Even it is hard to made, just stick to the phrase “learning is a process”. She also adds that she is very strict when it comes in cleanliness. Make sure that the cooking tools are always clean and put to its proper place when you have finished. Just imagine that you eat not just for hungriness but also for healthy as well. She influences me to what they are saying because for me she is not just a chef but also a nutritionist. She is thinking to others people sake and not just doing her position as a cook. I had fun having a conversation to her because what she uttered had always meaningful.
So much of our time is devoted to meeting obligations, taking care of responsibilities and maintaining mindless routines. Sometimes we forget to eat that sometimes come up the downfall of our body. The best way to get your nutrients is by eating a wide variety of foods. If you are eating a variety of foods you need, you feel better and healthy. Always maintain your healthy good by eating on time because it is the one of the best ways to avoid sickness. Most important to remember, eat mindfully. Savour the taste and textures of each dish. Give your full attention to the meal. Do not throw foods because many of those Filipino people are encounter hungriness.
Every meal is the different mixture of its ingredients in order to reach the taste you are wishing. Of course, it depends upon the one who cook to it. Moreover, the feeling toward to your cooking also affect to the taste. Just like when you are in mood, you feel energetic and alive that makes you work well at times.
