welcome 2016

It is always nice to work with people whom you can rely on especially when it comes to preparations
like for this year of welcoming the year of 2016. Since I move in to my in and transfer all of my stuff in her house it would be delightful if I made an effort to make some preparations in the house.
I am on a very tight budget after all the cost and expenses of transferring I still made it to a point that I have to something to served for the whole Family feast. 
ok this our Dirty Kitchen where every preparation has to be done. so what do i have for the feast since i am craving for seafood my first priority to have was a Prawns the "Tiger one" its a bit big and juicy when you eat.. Now how do you choose the right one for you? I strongly suggest to buy this at the wet section of the market at morning time for you to have the freshest choice of wet items to have ...because in the afternoon it is not as fresh as it be since they have to put in a freezer of rolled it with ice to preserved for the next day...  since its a holiday season everything goes up literally the prices.. so better yet if you have what you call "suki" in our term you can haggle the price or ask for a discount as a reward for being a loyal customer during this season i was able to have my 1kilo of prawns at the price of 600+
here with all time partner Pepay doing everything helping us out from preparation to serving and all the cleaning.
This is one of our end product the very famous "BIKO"
Biko is a Filipino rice cake made from sticky rice (locally known as malagkit), coconut milk, and brown sugar. ... Traditionally, this delicious rice cake is placed over banana leaves in a bilao (round woven bamboo tray) and garnished with latik (cooked coconut milk residue) on top.
This is the old fashion way or the very "BARRIOTIC" way of cooking it since we need to save for the Gas consumption this method is the one I strongly suggest but of course the "cons" of doing this is that you'll get all the smoke and you will smell smoke from the woods. Another thing you will get is that if you have a big fire it will burn your pan for this I used the big pan also known as the "dripping pan" you should not stop stirring the coconut milk until it turn into oil. More muscle works are highly needed.
me with my little sister helping me out in preparations
the shrimp is sauteed in garlic finely chopped then butter so it has some salty taste don't season anything since it was marinated already so guest could have the options of adding some side sauce whether it is plain fish sauce or soy sauce or just be itself alone. 

this is how I prepared my shrimp. clean it first and removing all their hairy part using the scissors and cutting their back portion so that the marinate of seasoning will enter the flesh making it more tasty to eat..
of course it will be more enticing and delectable to eat all of the foods when it is done with love and passion. Happy new year everyone
