I spotted Century Tuna Choice at Terry’s Salcedo. They were selling at P295 per can.

I totally love salade Nicoise too. Then a while back, I came across an old US Good Housekeeping magazine that had a brilliant serving suggestion for a big crowd. It pictured a whole platters of Nicoise, but instead of canned tuna, it had a whole slabs of pan-fried salmon, for a more substantial one-dish meal. I do that often now and it’s always a big hit. Remember to serve with additional dressing on the side.

I love nicoise. . . its a complete meal itself. . . I remember we do a chi chi version before, and instead of flaked tuna we put a good portion of seared tuna steak on top of the salad drizzled with olive tapenade. . . it’s just YUMMMM and one of the bestsellers. . .

Hi, MM. I was able to buy some Century Premium Tuna (chunks in water) in S&R Congressional Avenue yesterday.

At first I thought the picture was of a “PinoyÃ§oise” salad because the haricots verts looked like sitaw. Perhaps the recipe might work well with good sardines in olive oil, blanched sitaw and itlog maalat subbed for their counterparts in the French classic.

The salad was delicious and the tuna exceptional. You might want to add some sliced red onion and some capers.

I know now, MM…went back to Pinoy store and asked for Century premium tuna…they don’t sell it since the grocery stores carry the tuna packed in oil or broth or water.

Hershey, yes, they did to use to sell them at Terry’s. But I haven’t seen them in the Pasong Tamo store lately. Hmmm, if they have them at podium I would make the trip to stock up when I run out… bettyq, regular century tuna is a FAR CRY from the premium cans, no comparison at all.

I’ve tried the premium Century Tuna once…unfortunately I cannot remember the taste. Guess that was a long time ago :-p
