Althea Korea --2nd Birthday--Pink Box

Althea Korea –2nd Birthday–Pink Box

I have been a fan of Althea for two years now. Almost all of my beauty haul are straight from (Korea) Althea. And for two years Althea never failed to impress me. I love how fast they respond to all of my inquiries. Delivery time?… I always received my parcel at exactly 7 days from the date of purchase. (Though this year, I didn’t get  the limited edition birthday box and no freebies ). Items are…

The Dimsum Place

  The Dimsum Place is located in Il Centro, Sta. Lucia  East Grand Mall, Cainta Rizal. This is one of the restaurant we never missed to visit whenever we are in Sta. Lucia.  Why? It’ s because their dimsum is very affordable.   We love everything on the menu. Especially their Crispy Noodles! Though we haven’t tried their pastries, so I can’t comment on that. Anyway… We ordered Xiao Long Bao and…

Hubby and I are craving for Samgyeopsal but on a tight budget. A friend of his, recommended Mi Dai along Lilac St. So we drove along Lilac to search for Mi Dai….. Alas!  We found it! 

We were seated as soon as we arrived. The place is clean and with simple setup.  The place has A/C with several electric fans but it was not enough to cool the whole resto. Entrance doors were kept open because they do not have enough exhaust.

We ordered the unlimited pork. It includes UNLIMITED: Side dish, Rice, Lettuce, Soup and Iced Tea. It’s 299 per person and there’s a 50% discount for kids.  299 is really cheap for an unli samgyeopsal! (Other Korean Restos offer it for PhP499.00.)

 What I like about their unli Is that they do not have time limit for their unli Samgyeopsal!! ( So you can eat as long as your stomach desires!)  

Our food experience….They only offer limited side dish ( unlike in other Korean Restos) The meat was okay. We enjoyed the lettuce wrap. As for the soup and Kimchi, its not that spicy. But for the Unli meat and side dish it was “sulit”.  Overall it was delicious!

As for the service, It was fast and efficient.

I will totally recommend this place if you are craving for an Unlimited Samgyeopsal but on a tight budget.

Here is another recipe that my family enjoyed. This recipe was introduced to me by my Mother in Law when they went to Singapore for a vacation.

Happy Cooking!

INGREDIENTS ⚪️3-4 pounds live crab ⚪️2 tablespoons oil ⚪️6 shallots, minced ⚪️6 large cloves garlic, minced ⚪️2 tablespoons finely minced ginger ⚪️3 red bird’s eye chilies, minced ⚪️3 1/2 cups (875 ml) chicken stock or 3 chicken knorr cubes mixed in 1 cup water ⚪️4 tablespoons hot bean paste ⚪️1/2 cup chili garlic sauce ⚪️1/2 cup (125ml) canned tomato sauce or tomato ketchup ⚪️2 tablespoon sugar ⚪️2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry) ⚪️2 teaspoons salt ⚪️1 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper) ⚪️2 tablespoons cornstarch, mixed with 3 tablespoons water ⚪️2 eggs, lightly beaten ⚪️1 tablespoon of lemon squeeze

FOR THE CHILI GINGER SAUCE: ⚪️6 red finger-length chilies, minced ⚪️5 cloves garlic, minced ⚪️2 tablespoons finely minced ginger ⚪️2 teaspoons sugar ⚪️1/2 teaspoon salt ⚪️1 teaspoon rice vinegar ⚪️1 tablespoon water

Directions: 1. Steam the crab until the shells are bright red and the crabs are cooked, about 10-15 minutes. Take off the claws and crack in several places with a cleaver. Cut each body half into two to three pieces, leaving the legs attached.

2. Make the Chili-Ginger Sauce by whisking all the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.

3. Heat the oil in a wok over medium-low heat and add the shallots, garlic, ginger and chilies. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 3 minutes, then add the Chili-Ginger Sauce, chicken stock, hot bean paste, chili sauce, tomato sauce, sugar, rice wine, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes.

4. Add the cornstarch/water mixture and stir until the sauce thickens, about 30 seconds, add the lemon squeeze, Add the eggs and stir until set, Add salt,pepper, garlic powder to taste.

5.Add the crab pieces and simmer, uncovered, turning several times Then transfer the chili crab to a serving dish garnish with chives and serve with crusty bread. ( but we prefer to eat it with rice. Only my father in law enjoyed it with a bread)

———- *This recipe is very spicy, I did not add the red chillies and bean paste. I replaced it with 2 tbsp tabasco *Instead of 2 tbsp sugar, I used 4-5 tbsp spoon sugar. Adjust the spiciness and sweetness according to your taste/preference *You can also use/add shrimp *I use a lot of garlic in my recipe About 1/4 cup in making chili sauce and 1/4 cup for sautéing. I also placed a lot of garlic powder. *Use only Lee Kum Kee brand for the chili garlic and hot bean paste for that authentic taste.

————– Enjoy!👌🍽

Im not really a fan of Korean products. I first knew about Althea Korea thru my friends liking their page in Facebook. I tried checking out their products, but I wasn't sure if it was legit. So I searched for reviews over the internet. I'm impressed with of Althea offers. There are lots of Korean beauty products to choose from at a very low price ( compared to K-shops here in the Philippines). They also offer free shipping for orders 1500 and up! So I decided to make my first purchase at ph.althea.kr I placed my order on the 15th of July. So Im expecting my package to arrive in 15 days, since it will be shipped from Korea.On the 22nd of July, a package came from Althea. I wasnt expecting it to arrive that time. The package was neatly wrapped in a pink plastic and inside a cute pink box in a bubble wrap. Whats inside the box? -Witch's Pouch Color Corrector CC Cream - W Lab Perfection Pro Pact#23 - Witch's Pouch Love me Blusher (Sunday Peach) My overall shopping experience was awesome! 😊👍 Can't wait to try these products and share my feedback about it.
