Yangnyeom Dak (Fried Chicken w/ Sauce)


I woke up just in time to cook lunch today and I cooked Yangnyeom Dak. It's Korean style fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce. Chinese style sweet and sour dish usually uses pork or fish fillet but this time, it's chicken. Fried chicken from fast foods in our country usually have gravy for sauce, but the korean fried chicken uses a sweet and sour sauce to coat their chicken.

It's yummy and it's easy so go ahead and try it! ^^

Time Flies ~


I didn't realize that it's the middle of 2010 already and I haven't written anything about my thoughts this year in my blog. It's been a very busy year for me, at work and outside work. I felt busier because I feel that I don't have enough time to do everything I want to do.

What are the things I've done this year so far? I've been to Singapore to visit a very good friend. I was able to go on a weekend vacation with my family to Baguio, after a loooong time. I'm happiest when I travel, specially with family and friends. I wish to do this more, and more... I've learned to cook Korean food! Which is what my blog has most of this year, pictures of my trials and errors. XD I love Korean food and I sure I can survive eating Korean food everyday. =)

I've grown older but age doesn't seem to bother me any more. It's just a number I've learned to ignore, lol! XD But what I noticed more lately is I've been feeling more alone. I'm still surrounded with friends and family but I seem to miss them a lot lately. I look forward to spending more and more time with them. Is this a sign of old age? =P I think I've come at a stage in my life that I value people that I love so much more than I ever had. I want them all to know that I love them very much.

Lord, thank you for my family and friends. Thank you for making me feel Your great love through them. Protect them and always keep them healthy. May the rest of my 2010 be more than I can ever expect. Surprise me Lord, You always do! =) Praise to you Lord and to you be all the glory.

Kimchi Pajeon (Kimchi Pancake)


Kimchi Pajeon or Kimchi Pancake is a nice side dish with all the spicy Korean food we eat in a meal. It's not so spicy that it helps ease the hotness in our tongue while eating. =)

I followed it from a recipe I got online but I find it a bit bland for my taste. I should've added more kimchi to make it tastier. I'll try doing the seafood pancake next time with squid, shrimps and green onions. ^^
