Blog Update

By Jason

I've been kicking around the idea of streamlining our posts here to better serve our customers. So taking a page out of Chris Guillebeau's playbook, we are going to shift to a guaranteed 3 posts a week with miscellaneous updates, such as restocking, scattered throughout.

Here is the breakdown:
Monday- New recipe. We'll continue to bounce around Asia with these, but if there is a specific recipe anyone wants to share or wants to see let us know and we can put it up.

Wednesday- Asian culture. This day's post will be dedicated to highlighting some aspect of the various cultures across Asia.

Friday- Sari Sari aka variety. Friday's post topics will range from culture, to local events to stupid video's we found on Youtube. There is a real good chance it will be food related.

Those are the guaranteed posts. If something comes up we feel is worth posting, we will post it. This is just an effort to make the blog better for those of you out there reading.

As always remember to subscribe to keep up to date with the blog. Either on the right side using RSS, Myspace, or any other number of sites. Or become a fan with our new Facebook widget over on the left.

See y'all at the store.

By
We moved to Austin, Texas! and have been searching for new places to find Authentic Filipino food near our house. So we found a couple places and went on a foodie adventure.

Well here is our first impression! 1. Entry: You are greeted with a welcoming smile by the staff. 2. Decor: It's simple but has a culturally sophisticated feel when you sit down. There are framed photos presenting the Philippine culture all over the wall. 3. Food: First dishes we tried were sisig, Lechon kawali, and dinuguan (pork blood pudding). All I can say is, Yummy in my tummy! I haven't had authentic tasting sisig in a long time! Portions are significant and...

Cooking Vietnamese Pho with Chef Quang Le

By
Cooking with Chef Quang Le Researching food and spices is a part of our family's daily routine since we ventured into the food industry. Learning about the different components of food makes us appreciate every dish, snack, and drink that we consume. We take every opportunity that we can to continue learning about the flavors of the world. This weekend, I organized a class with a local Vietnamese chef who loves to entertain and educate people through food. Chef Quang Le, co-owner of Clay Pot in Waco Texas, had agreed to teach a class on how to cook traditional Vietnamese Pho.  The class is sponsored by the Association of Asian-American Women in San Angelo, Texas. It was such a refreshing class complete with food history, health benefits, recipe book, and entertainment.  So What is Vietnamese Pho Soup? Vietnamese Pho Soup is considered the national dish of Vietnam. It can be seen as a mirror that reflects the heritage of the Vietnamese people and their w...

Japanese Dorayaki Minis

By
Dorayaki Yummy's Japanase Dorayaki (also known as Mikasa) is one of Japan's popular classic confectioneries. It is red bean paste sandwiched between two pancakes. Oh that's nothing special! You say. Oh but it is! Sometimes the simpliest things in life are the most overlooked.  Dorakayi can also be made with other paste. One of our house favorites is with  red bean  and chestnuts paste. Another is to make it with  matcha  and  coarse red bean paste . Your tastebuds is your imagination. Add chocolate to it or peanut butter. Here's a simple recipe to making your own dorayaki. TADA! DONE! No seriously! it really is that simple but I will humor you with a recipe because we all have our own way of making pancakes. And me, being me, I have a habit of tweeking just about any recipe I come across. Of course, you want to try the original recipe before you go around exprimenting with it. Because sometimes, THAT recipe is just perfect for you...
