From time to time, we have Saturday breakfasts at Ikea. For 2AUD, you’ll get a plate of freshly cooked bacon, sausage, hash browns, egg and tomato. Although it’s filling for such a cheap amount, we avoid going there frequently because if you notice in the photo, the food served are all fried.

I bought a steamer three years ago and it was only last week that I started using it. Good thing my friend brought us a huge pack of pork dumplings and ribs that ‘forced’ me to bring the steamer out of the box. Hi hi.
After steaming the first batch of pork dumplings, I realized how wonderful a kitchen gadget it is and how easy it is to use. Since then, steamed meat or fish are part of our weekly menu.
I tried steamed tilapia, too. Since I had planned to fry it, I didn’t have the all ingredients for this dish. But that didn’t stop me from preparing it the healthy way. So what I is:
It tastes really good! I’ll try it next time complete with spring onion, Chinese wine and gingeroot. Pick-up the recipe here.
One of our weekend family “traditions” is to have a hearty meal for breakfast (or “brekky” in OZ terminology). Because during the work week, we’d almost always only have a bowl of cereals and a cup of steamy hot chocolate drink.
The meal in photo is one of the more popular breakfast foods in the Philippines. It’s called TAPSILOG, which stands for TAP – Tapa or Beef strips; SI – Sinangag or Fried Rice and LOG – Itlog or Egg. I haven’t tried curing beef for this meal but maybe one of these days I will. We like this served with a steamy hot drink. Yum!
