4. Sharlene Gumpal (@sharleneazcona)

@sharleneazcona Garlic Buttered Shrimp is simple to cook, yet it presents a bit of a challenge for me. The key is to avoid burning the butter and garlic while ensuring that the garlic flavor thoroughly infuses the butter. I achieve this by starting with very low heat and occasionally turning off the heat if it becomes too hot. Cooking the garlic slowly in the butter helps to infuse the garlic flavor effectively. Additionally, I season the butter with salt and pepper before adding the prawns. Once the prawns are in, I turn up the heat to high and sauté them. When the prawns turn orange, I promptly turn off the heat. Garlic Buttered Shrimp, though a bit challenging, yields a deliciously satisfying dish with its garlic-infused butter, perfectly seasoned prawns, and a rewarding cooking process. #foodieph #foodietokph ♬ original sound – Sharlene Gumpal-Azcona

@thebaldbakerph 📍Jodd Fairs So where do I start? This place was really overwhelming. So many stalls (a lot of which were medj repetitive) and when I went the place was packed AF! I actually just ordered orange juice (LOL) and takoyaki! And my friend found a table where we could order the pork broth which is famous here. ⠀ The whole logistics of getting a bunch of food to try and finding a table to (comfortably) eat (all) your food was a honestly a struggle. Haha. This is probably why I I don’t go to a lot of night markets or similar concepts. Haha! Sorry na! The 30+ yo me likes to eat comfortably with ample room to move my arm. ✌🏼 ⠀ Anywhoo, i guess just be prepared when you go. Do your research and know the stalls you want to try, cause obviously we didn’t do that. Thank yew. 👍🏼 #thaifood #bangkok #joddsfairnightmarket #takoyaki #foodieph ♬ original sound – Cy Ynares / Bald Baker

@kweenfoodiemomshie Replying to @Angel&Chlea 𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝟮𝟰 • 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 + 𝗡𝗨𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 Naalala ko noong nagkaroon ako ng writing awards nung Grades 5 and 6, parehas na sabi ng mama at tita ko, “manang-mana ka talaga sa akin”. Pero kapag pinaglaban ko naman na ang sarili ko aka mag-answer back sa kanila hehe, sasabihin rin nila parehas na “hindi ko na alam kung kanino ka nagmana ng ugali mo.” Uhm malamang po sa inyo? Hahaha labyu Mama and Auntie! Gamit na gamit ko yang mga namana ko sa inyo sa anumang hamon ng buhay. And now that momshie na nga ako, kapag nakikita ko ang sweet but strong personalities ng aking tatlong bibe, hindi na ako nagtataka.
