Tuna Burritos in a minute!

A late night bento snack for Dr. E on his late night duty.

I'm a sucker for quick and easy food preparations...so I can eat them at once! I have seen these two tuna cans in the pantry for weeks and one night decided to take them out and finally use them. Upon grabbing them, I found out they were the ready made viands kind of tuna in cans, particularly the San Marino Tuna Paella brand. Now, what to do with them? Eat them directly as is or make some twist of the already twisted tuna in the cans? I figured serving them so plain in a bento box won't look pleasing at all, sigh! Got to think of someting.....and my eyes fixed on the tortillas! So there, just zapped the tuna in the oven, heated the tortillas over the stove burner, wrapped the tuna in the tortillas, placed buritto inside my oral cavity.... LOL! yum! (I just had to taste first before placing them inside Mr. Froggy!) And there you go! Another quick fix! And the following day, Dr. E told me he loved them! 

And, by the way, Papsi also had burritos for dinner... low fat and low salt diet! Its healthy too!

Cookie Monster aint a cookie?!?

Colored the rice blue and decided to make Cookie Monster!
The cookie is a burger patty. hehe!

Its More fun in the Philippines!

The new tourism slogan of the DOT, It's More Fun in the Philippines! Why do I have the Japanese flag in my bento? And why do I have the Chinese Lemon Chicken instead of the Adobo in it? Filipinos are known to adapt easily to their changing environment, as we have been colonized by the Spaniards, Japanese, Americans,etc... not to mention the Malaysian, Indonesian, Thailanders, Arabs, Chinese traders way back the Spaniards, fast forward to the now increasing populations of Korean "K-pop" invasion in our country. This also holds true when it comes to Filipino cuisine, with so much influences (and also our creativity as evidenced by the thousand ways to cook adobo)  our palates are very much diversed! So you see, it is more fun here with all the mixes of foods we can offer, you get to try multinational cuisine in a perfectly located island in the Pacific! How cool is that? *wink*

Tamagoyaki Trial and Tocino

Tamagoyaki is basically a rolled omelet which is slightly sweetened with sugar. I prefer mine unsweetened, so I omitted the sugar in the recipe and substitute salt instead. Its a bit of a challenge during the rolling process without tearing the eggs and I was frustrated to get it right! Haha! Oh well, at least it tastes good!

You may find recipes and tutorials in the internet. Bentolicous gave a perfect instructions for this, fun tamagoyaki, I sooooo love her bentos!

Tocino ,as we call it here in the Philippines, is a sweet cured pork served during breakfast. When paired with fried garlic rice and fried egg, it is then referred to as "Tosilog". One of the best Pinoy breakfast ever!
