Found a case of these @ a local Costco. Go and get some if you have a chance, it’s so much better than the American version.
Mexican Coke!
February 8th, 2010Crabcakes
January 7th, 2010First attempt at real Maryland Crabcakes. Used jumbo lump crab with scallions, parsley, and of course, Old Bay. Served with a side of freshly
made tartar sauce and a nice green salad. They held together pretty well
and tasted great.
Tex Mex Fiesta!
January 7th, 2010Decided to be smart when food shopping this week and
got stuff for a bunch of meals that use common ingredients.
First up is a Corn Tortilla soup. Garnished with fresh avacado
and lime.
Next is Chilli con Carne with big chunks of beef, pinto beans and rice. Topped with jack cheese, cilantro, and sour cream.
Lastly is Huevos Rancheros complete with homemade salsa.
A lot of extra work, but worth it for the taste.

Barkada: Fresh Filipino Food for Fast Feasting
April 30th, 2008Barkada is a great place for fresh, tasty, and inexpensive Filipino food. For $7, including tax, you get pile of white rice and a choice of 2 entrees AND a can of soda or bottle of water. Many of the delicious entrees are changed from day to day giving you a great reason to come back in order to try everything on the menu. Some entrees like beef steak, which is a nice dish of beef and onions in lemon-soy sauce, are available every day as well.
I enjoy just about every thing they offer, but some of my personal recommendations are:
Humba: pork and soy sauce with banana flowers Binagoongang: pork in shrimp paste
Chicken curry: with potato and peppers
Pork Sinigang: a soup with pork and tamarind.
Added to the combo meals are a la carte items like: Lumpia Shanghai: like a cross between a Thai spring roll and a Chinese egg roll
BBQ sticks: skewers of beef, pork or chicken
Siopao: big steamed buns filled with chichen or pork.
On top of that they offer great desserts like turon, which is a tasty little roll filled with plantain and jackfruit. They also have breakfast combos: eggs with a choice of meat/fish served with garlic fried rice and a drink.
Aside from the hot food, they have a big selection of packaged Filipino food, so if you enjoy the taste of the fresh food, you’ll definitely want to do some shopping for home. It’s family run and the staff is more than happy to help you decide what to get and answer any questions on the selections of the day.
