Gising-Gising ala Abia

Gising-gising or in English translation, "Wake up! Wake up!". The reason is that, the spiciness of the dish will really wake one up. 

This is certainly an economical yet delicious dish which is great by itself or as a partner to fried fish with hot steaming rice (pinoy style). For the vegetarians, you can skip the meat and it can be just as good. You can also use shrimp instead of pork.


Wake up! Wake up!

Ingredients:
  • 2 bunches of water spinach (kangkong), chopped
  • 200g ground pork (optional)
  • 2 tbsp shrimp paste bagoong
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 cup coconut cream (kakang gata)
  • 2-4 pcs red chillies, sliced with seeds (use whatever suits you :D we like it very hot!)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • freshly ground black pepper
Procedures:
  1. In a wok, sauté garlic and onion.
  2. Add ground pork and cook while continuously stirring for 5 minutes.
  3. Add coconut milk and simmer for 15 minutes in medium high heat, at this stage coconut milk will be reduced and thick.
  4. Add shrimp paste and water spinach, stir for 3 minutes.
  5. Add coconut cream and chillies and cook for 3 more minutes.
  6. Season with freshly ground black pepper then serve.

Nail Art Ala Abia

I am once a self confess nail art addict. But due to shaky hands and poor eyesight, I stopped doing this several years ago. :(

Then I discover, that my sister has a special talent in nail arts too...which is much more better than I am. ;)

The evidence....let me share you some pictures of my lil' sister nail art designs. These are my sisters real nails, done with free hand. 

She’s very talented and her nails are always so gorgeous.
So proud of you Honey!!!
