Pancakes over at Pancake House

I love the pancakes- Pancake house offers. Well, from the name of the store itself. Damosa in Mamay Rd. opens a new Pancake house a few months ago and I like the ambiance the store has. Here’s what we had a few days ago.

Looking good eh?:)

Karlyn’s

We bought our house here in Dvo a year after I got married. After that we just go home once a year for a visit since we live abroad for 8 years. I do go to hot spots in the city. But it’s totally different when you live in the place. Until me and the husband decided last May that me and the kids will stay here for now. So, I just got a chance to really discover Davao. Fab places to eat and to discover. Then the neighboring must visit places. Like this Karlyn’s open air turo-turo resto that serves really good steak! The photo below(sorry it’s not really that nice because I just snapped it instantly using my iPhone-and it won’t give justice) is the famous Steak ala Pobre and the Salisbury Steak! It’s delish, the price is good and the serving is worth it! Nice ambiance too specially during dinner.

Check out Karlyn’s when you’re in Davao! It’s a must:) Now, I’m off to check on AC filters for the bedrooms!

Siomai,anyone?

I’m craving for this. I haven’t been able to drop by over in Mandarin or Dimsum for weeks now. Although, siomai in Mandarin is way better than Dimsum. I still love Dimsum though..:)

And I gained weight yet again! Some of you knew that I went back to school for a second course. I am so busy juggling with a lot of things these days but still i don’t know how to lose belly fat fast! Is it because of this food? I guess so..sigh! I found this Thai resto months ago and it’s a good one! Not really that much but it’s better than nothing:)

Recipe:Coconut Milk Chicken

I got this recipe at Apartment Therapy site. I love looking and reading some of their recipes. And when I saw this one. Which I was thinking of making a coconut milk chicken for tonight. Not sure if it will taste just the same because I don’t have some of the recipes here. But we’ll see;)

Chicken in Coconut Milk
serves 4

One 3-3.5 pound whole chicken
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 pound fingerling potatoes
2 cans (13 - 15oz) regular or light coconut milk
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
10 whole garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
Zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons chopped lemon grass stems
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 cinnamon stick

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper at a rate of about 1 tablespoon salt per pound and 1 tablespoon pepper per three pounds. Heat the butter and sesame oil in a pot that will fit the chicken snugly, like a Dutch oven, and set the chicken in the hot oil. Cook, turning the chicken to get an even golden color on all sides, about 5 minutes total.

Remove from the heat, put the chicken on a plate, and dispose of the fat left in the pot. Return the chicken to the pot with the rest of the ingredients, and cook in the preheated oven, basting with the cooking juices every 20 minutes, for 1 - 1.5 hours. It is done when the meat pulls away from the bone without much effort and the potatoes are tender when pricked with the end of a paring knife.

To serve, pull the meat off the bones and divide with potatoes between plates or serve on a platter. Spoon over a hefty helping of the milky sauce. Mind the cinnamon stick.
