I started to cook about two years ago and love it. I long had a sneaking suspicion I would, wished I could learn from my mom’s cooks (she doesnt cook herself) but always found the kitchen too crowded. My first apt and its kitchen were too small for entertaining or comfortable cooking but I plunged once I got a bigger place. I’ve learned mostly from cookbooks, from a few half-day classes, a little TV and a lot of trial and error, all when I can get work out of the way. I’m cooking more and more and recognized the frustration you described in having to go to several stores to find all your ingredients. Not to mention that, until now, the stores I’ve gone to are supermarkets and delis. And it’s getting expensive. So bourgeois me (a word with many meanings, some seemingly contradictory, yet most of them negative) am about to take another plunge: I discovered your site when I googled for Makati markets. I love your site! Will be visiting whenever I can get work out of the way!

It’s not only a Pinoy thing, this eggs w/ketchup. The Brits do that too (my boyfriend anyway) – he cannot have scrambled eggs or omelette without ketchup.

i love crab omelette and i also eat it anytime of the day bfast, lunch & dinner. instead of ketchup, i like mine with brown sauce (oyster sauce & other seasonings) that my dad makes, just like the traditional sauce one finds in a chinese restaurant when you order crab fooyung.

aside from omelette, we also use the crab meat to make corn & crabmeat soup.
