Pancit Miki
Topic: Noodles
When talking about fresh miki, I always remember my father because this is his favorite dish to eat for Iftar during month of Ramadan. We used to stock many shrimps in the fridge every month of fasting because that was his favorite flavor for the fresh miki. I still remember one day in month of Ramadan when my mother was not around in the house, we were only two left with my father, I had class in my masteral degree in the afternoon so I did not able to cook for our Iftar, my off was 6:00 pm so by the time I reached home, it was already dark because it was very traffic during that time also. My father is not a big fan of restaurants food, he always prefer homemade meals so he has no choice but to cook for our Iftar. When I reached home, I saw pancit miki cooked in a very perfect way, I tasted it and it was really good, I asked him where did he buy and he said he cooked it, I was surprised since I didn't know that my father knew how to cook that way.

Here in Kuwait, I rarely cook pancit miki because the fresh miki here doesn't taste as good as the one in Philippines. I only knew one source of fresh miki here so I have no choice but to buy it when we were craving for it. I bought few grams of it 3 days ago and I had no time to cook until yesterday.

1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. sesame seed oil
3 tbsp. cooking oil
salt and pepper to taste
2 stalks green onions, sliced into 1 inch length diagonally
Hard boiled eggs, quartered (optional)

Buko Salad (Young Coconut)
Topic: Desserts
When we were in Philippines, we used to go to our coconut plantations once a month during summer season just to eat fresh buko and that was one of my unforgettable moments there.
Buko salad is one of my favorite dessert and probably the best dessert for me so far. I realy like buko (young coconut) and realy love it so so much, that's it. I bought frozen young coconut the other day from the Filipino supermarket here (oh, how I miss the fresh buko in our farm) with the other ingredients that I want to include like, red and green nata de coco, fruit cocktail and a bottle of halo-halo mixture. I made it yesterday and it was not enough, we craved for more. It is very easy and quick to prepare since all the ingredient were ready, just mixing it unless you will add some fresh fruits on it. When I made it yesterday, I included the buko juice because I want it to be a little bit juicy and since the nata de coco and the halo-halo mixture are too sweet already, I only add a little amount of condensed milk, I used powdered milk instead with lots of cream. I served it with a teaspoon of sweetened purple yum on top of each bowl and wow, YUMMY!
