He’s back!!!

After 2 months of waiting and commuting, ULY is finally back! To be fair with Russel (the owner of the shop where ULY went), I liked his work!

Not bad for the moolah we paid for this service, eh? What do you think? (I’ll to change this picture once I took better pictures of him.)

Hamron

I had another chance to cook some two weeks ago when my parents-in-law went home to Lusiana, Laguna to attend the first birthday of nephew’s daughter. I tried cooking this:

I know. It got overcooked thus the golden brown effect became toasted! But it still tasted good, based on the performance. (It made our dinner instead of merienda!) I’ll do this again next time with a twist (salami or tuna or something else) and I’ll make sure to keep the color to golden brown.

Here’s how to do this recipe. Special thanks to Pinoy Cook’s Pizzaron, which was the basis of this recipe.

Ingredients

5pcs wheat bread
1pc egg
5pcs sweet ham
breadcrumbs
cooking oil

Procedures

Flatten the bread. I used a glass to do this since we didn’t have a rolling pin at home.
Steam the sweet ham.
While the sweet ham cooks, beat the egg in a bowl.
Put enough breadcrumbs in a plate.
Once the ham is cooked, put it on top of the flattened bread then roll it. Here, I rolled the bread starting from the bread’s tip, creating the pointy effect.
Dip one rolled bread in the beaten egg then roll it in the breadcrumbs.
Deep fry until outer is golden brown. I cooked two hamrons at a time.
Drain in a stack of paper towers and then serve.

We noticed that after frying, the ham became a little salty. Mon said because it was fried. Not sure though.

On Quinito Henson and Chino Trinidad

Last Satuday on our way home from the mall, my dad and my brother were talking about how talkative the Filipino anchors who were covering the NBA finals namely: Quinito Henson and Chino Trinidad. They said that these two were so talkative during the game 1 of the series that they somewhat narrated the whole game! I commented that I agree with them about Quinito because as far as I’m concerned, he’s just so talkative for a guy. However, I disagreed with them about Chino because I think he is not as talkative as Quinito. I was wrong!

I was able to watch the second game of the best of seven finals series and I must say, the entire was just too lame that it made me so bored! The referees’ calls were either inappropriate or delayed. The players of LA Lakers seemed to be not in the proper condition specially Kobe Bryant. And to top it all, Quinito and Chino were so noisy at the background! Their comments on the game are never ending! That’s not all, they even said things on air that to me are very improper like things about Chino’s wife’s birthday that he wasn’t able to attend because he covering the series and a mention of his Americanas’ (American style coat) sponsors! Yuck! Publicity! The worst comment I heard from these two came from I think Quinito (please correct me if I’m wrong). He joked about Leon Powe and something about the Poe clan (yes, the late Fernando Poe’s family)! Such a corny joke that even Chino Trinidad wasn’t able to get! Ugggghh!
