A Tapsilog (Filipino dish) inspired preparation. Turned out so well. I am lowkey proud of myself hehehehehe.

Also I really need to buy an aesthetic bowl.

This has butter garlic rice, minced chicken fried in scallion oil, a dark soy and honey based sauce, pickled onions.

Tapsilog

Tapsilog in Tagalog is a mixture of 3 different food items: Tap for Tapa, a fried beef marinated in vinegar and garlic; Si for Sinigang, a simple garlic fried rice; and Log for Itlog, which means egg. There are a lot of food items like this in the Philippines.

Ingredients

Garlic Fried Rice 4 cups cold cooked rice, preferably long grain

oil

One garlic minced

salt

pepper

Instructions:

Garlic Fried Rice Heat the pan and add oil; on medium heat, add garlic and fry it until it's golden brown and crunchy. Add rice and stir fry until the rice is coated with garlic-flavored oil; this will take around 10 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper

Tapa

800 g beef tenderloin (sliced thinly around 1/2 cm thick)

Two whole garlic, crushed, include the skin 1 tsp ground black pepper 1 cup white vinegar Five bay leaves 2 tsp salt

Instructions

Mix thoroughly all ingredients excluding beef, in a bowl. Slice the beef into 2 x 3-inch pieces and soak with the mixture Marinate for at least a day. Remove beef from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel Heat the pan, add oil, and fry the beef pieces until the outside is crunchy on both sides.

i want garlic fried rice so bad

[jopetkasi]

my coping mechanism has shifted a great deal.

had i been in my twenties, i would have probably locked myself in my room, set myself in crying bouts while listening to emotionally triggering songs, and wallowed in self-pity, which usually ends with a well-crafted plan (yet unrealized) vengeance.

but it's a different tune now. for example, Saturday came and with nothing to do after lunch, i took a long nap. it was the best nap so far :)

when I woke up, my cousins asked me to play tennis. despite my lack of practice, I went. sayang din yung opportunity to exercise, I mean tennis is a full body workout. afterward, we had snacks.

then when I got home, i took a long shower. i scrubbed. it felt good.

I did not eat dinner as i am doing intermittent fasting, but to tame the hunger, I had a portion of chocolates. we played cards and by ten, I excused myself and slept.

This morning, I was up around four and did an 8km slow run with my cousin around the village. The banana I ate before running helped a lot especially since I am prone to muscle cramps.

done running, i rewarded myself with tapsilog. ewan ko pero bakit ganun food tastes better when one is hungry? Anyway, it was a leisurely breakfast, not rushed like one does on a weekday. too bad, I won't be eating lunch but then it depends on what will be served?

i'm in my room right now, my dogs are here as well. i guess for the time being I will stay muna here at my parent's house as I will need the company of family and friends especially now that I am on a rough patch.

I hope your weekend is peaceful and relaxing.

author’s note. not proofread, pag pasensyahan niyo na if may typos and grammatical errors dahil tinamad na ko :') enjoy reading and feel free to send me feedbacks! 🩷

“badtrip, monday na monday nagpasurprise long quiz prof namin,” rant sayo ni haechan habang kumakain ng inorder nitong tapsilog.

nasa katabing cafeteria ng campus niyo kayo ngayon ng kaibigan mo dahil kakatapos lang ng klase mo at sakto namang nag aya si haechan kumain sa labas ng campus dahil free cut naman daw niya. ayaw daw niyang kumain sa canteen ng university niyo dahil bukod sa hindi na masarap ay mahal pa. wala ka ng next class, pero napag usapan niyo ni jisung na kakain kayo sa labas bilang bayad niya sayo sa pagtulong mo sa kaniya mag review last week kaya hindi ka pa umuuwi.

“hulaan mo kung nakailan ako,” natatawa pa nitong sabi sayo.

“half?” hula mo naman.

umiling si haechan, “twenty two over fifty.”

“gago kasi ni jeno, nag usap kaming mag kokopyahan kami tapos nung magsasagot na tinakpan papel niya, tarantado,” dagdag nito, napapailing pa.

“speaking of the devil, ayan oh,” turo mo sa parating na si jeno.

tumayo naman si haechan para hampasin ito, “pakyu, boi, taksil ka.”

“nakailan ka, jen?” baling mo sa isa.

“thirty nine over fifty,” nakangisi nitong sagot sayo, “nakikinig kasi ako, hindi kagaya ng iba dyan,” parinig nito kay haechan.

“madapa ka sana,” bulong ni haechan.

“uy, gago, nakalimutan ko tuloy yung sasabihin ko,” kalabit nito kay haechan, “nagpunta ko dito para sunduin ka, nasa room na si sir!”

“akala ko ba free cut?!”

“hindi daw! tara na,” hinila ni jeno si haechan palabas ng cafeteria, “una na kami, y/n!”

napailing ka na lang sa kagaguhan ng dalawa at saka akmang aalis na rin sana ng cafeteria nang tumunog ang cellphone mo. it was jisung who texted, tinatanong kung tapos na ang klase mo. imbis na mag reply ay pinindot mo na lang ang call button.

“hi,” halata sa tono ng boses ng binata na nakangiti ito sa likod ng telepono.

“nandito ako sa cafeteria sa tabi ng campus, kakatapos lang ng class ko, sinamahan ko lang si hyuck kumain,” sagot mo.

“patapos na rin klase ko,” aniya, “nag paalam lang ako mag cr saglit para masagot tawag mo.”

natawa ka naman, “sorry, akala ko tapos na klase mo. sige na, bumalik ka na muna, itext mo na lang ako pagkatapos, intayin kita.”

mukhang pinaglalaruan ka ng tadhana dahil nang palabas ka na ng cafeteria ay nakasalubong mo si jaemin kasama ang mga kaibigan niyang sila yangyang. nag dalawang isip ka pa nung una kung babatiin mo ang mga ito, pero naunahan ka ni yangyang, “y/n! bakit mag isa ka? nasaan sila hyuck?” tanong nito at saka ka niyakap.

“kakaalis lang, sinundo ni jen— bigla daw dumating prof nila,” sagot mo.

tipid na ngiti at tango lamang ang ibinigay sayo ni jaemin, mukhang na a-awkwardan rin sa sitwasyon, though madalas naman kayong magkita around the campus ay awkward at mahirap pa rin para sayo. mahirap naman kasi talagang mag kunwari na parang wala lang nangyari sainyong dalawa dahil ilang taon rin yon. mahirap kalimutan yon nang ganun-ganun lang.

bigla kang nanghina pagkatapos ng interaction na yon, sa tuwing makikita mo siya pakiramdam mo bumagsak ang langit at lupa sayo. imbis na bumalik sa campus para intayin si jisung ay napag desisyunan mong umuwi na lang. you feel like crying and so you did.

“it’s okay to cry, angel, crying doesn’t mean you’re weak,” palaging paalala sayo ni jaemin noon.

naalala mo pa ay sinabi niya sayo iyon noong namatay ang alaga mong aso na siya ang nagbigay. sobrang lungkot mo that time kaya niyakap ka niya, at doon pa lang tumulo ang mga luha mong kanina mo pa pinipigilan.

“i will cry with you.”

but not anymore.

after hours of crying in your room, saka mo lang naalala si jisung. nawala na sa isip mong kailangan mo siyang imessage para sabihing nauna ka nang umuwi at mag sorry.

ji, sorry umuwi na ko, bigla kasing sumama pakiramdam ko :(

sent at 6:02pm

it took three minutes for jisung before texting back.

no, it’s okay, kumusta na pakiramdam mo? uminom ka na ba ng gamot? dalhan ba kita? you should’ve told me na masama pakiramdam mo para hindi na kita pinag intay

you’re very glad to have someone like jisung that’s why you treasure him so much. sobrang swerte mo magkaroon ng kaibigang kagaya niya sa tabi mo every time na kailangan mo siya and you’re very aware of that. hinding hindi mo gugustuhing mawala siya sayo.

i’m good na! i took a nap as soon as i got home, so medyo okay na rin ako. thank you, ji! bawi ako sayo :')

sent at 6:08pm

days has passed quickly. december na at isang linggo na lang ay christmas eve na. you and your friends decided to go to tagaytay for a three day vacation bago mag pasko since you and your friends will be spending christmas with your family and relatives.

sa kabilang banda, napag desisyunan na ni jisung na umamin sayo sa huling araw ng bakasyon niyo sa tagaytay. it took him years bago nabuo ang desisyon niya and this time he’s very sure of it. he’s willing to take the risk if it’s you.

you have no idea na alam ng mga kaibigan mo na gusto ka ni jisung, not until the confession happened. to be honest, you didn’t know what to feel. you’re happy to know that he likes you, but half of you knows na hindi ka pa fully moved on from jaemin. and haechan knows it, he’s your best friend after all.

“please lang, y/n... matalino ka, gamitin mo ang utak mo,” haechan was very frustrated because of the news, “masasaktan mo lang si jisung, magkakasakitan lang kayong dalawa,” napahilamos na lang ito ng mukha sa stress.

after months of you and jisung’s set up, naisipan mo nang ikwento ito kay haechan. nalaman nito na may nangyayari sa inyong dalawa ni jisung as friends kahit alam ni jisung na hindi ka pa nakakamove on ay pumayag ito sa set up. well... you both enjoyed each other’s company.

“haah... malapit na ko, ji...” ungol mo habang hingal na hingal sa pagbaba at taas sa ibabaw ni jisung.

nasa kotse kayo ni jisung ngayon, ihahatid ka lang sana niya pauwi sa inyo galing sa campus. hindi mo rin alam kung paano kayo nauwi sa ganitong sitwasyon. one second, you were sitting on the passenger seat and the next, you were bouncing on top of him.

“fuck, you feel so good, angel... so tight around me...” he groaned while holding your hip to help you bounce on his cock.

“matulog ka na muna at pag isipan mo yung mga sinabi ko sayo,” paalam sayo ni haechan.

you did. pinag isipan mo ang mga payo sayo ni haechan. ang totoo niyan ay alam mo naman sa sarili mong mali ang ginagawa mo, pero hindi mo alam ang gagawin. siguro nga ay dahil sa ginawa mo ng distraction si jisung para lang masabing nakamove on ka na kay jaemin.

sa dalawang linggong nakalipas ay hindi mo nireplyan ang mga messages sayo ni jisung. hindi mo alam ang gagawin kaya naisipan mong mas mabuti kung iwasan mo na lang muna si jisung habang nag iisip ka. today is jisung’s birthday at ni-bati sa text o call ay hindi mo ginawa. in fact, may birthday party na magaganap si jisung ngayong gabi at pilit kang inaaya nila jeno na pumunta.

nang dumalaw ang hating gabi ay may nangyaring hindi mo inaasahan. kumakatok lang naman si jaemin sa bahay niyo, at lasing na lasing. tawag ito nang tawag sa pangalan mo kaya ginising ka ng mama mo para pagbuksan ng pinto ang binata.

“j-jaemin... anong ginagawa mo dito?” gulat na tanong mo sa binata.

“y/n... miss na miss na kita... alam mo ba yon?” jaemin murmured, lasing na lasing na ito at hindi na makatayo nang diretso kaya inalalayan mo.

nangilid ang mga luha sa mata mo nang marinig ang mga salitang iyon galing sa bibig ni jaemin, “lasing ka lang, umuwi ka na sa inyo, jaemin.”

mapait na tumawa si jaemin, “jaemin? you used to call me ‘love’...” he whispered.

tumango ka, “yes, used to...” you whispered back.

kahinaan mo si jaemin at alam mo yon. simula nang maghiwalay kayo marinig mo lang ang ngalan niya nanghihina ka na. pakiramdam mo tuwing mababanggit si jaemin naririnig mong nababasag ang puso mo.

“hindi ako makatulog nang hindi ka iniisip... naaalala kita sa lahat ng bagay...” panimula nito, “sorry kung... sorry kung sumuko ako, nasaktan lang rin naman ako. nagkakasakitan lang tayo.”

“you were the best thing that ever happened to me and i hope you know that. alam kong wala na tayong pagasa... alam kong hindi na natin kayang buuin pa nang paulit ulit ang matagal nang nasira. sinubukan naman natin,” dagdag nito habang pilit pinipigilang umiyak sa harap ng dalaga, “nandito ako dahil gusto ko lang na marinig mula sayo. para rin makausad na tayo peraho kahit paano. kasi hindi ko kayang nakikita na nahihirapan ka nang dahil sa akin...”

nakayuko ka lang at patuloy sa paghikbi habang pinakikinggan si jaemin.

muli kang tumango, “tama na, jaemin.”

mas lalo lamang lumakas ang hikbi mo nang sabihin mo ang mga salitang yon. biglang nag flashback sa utak mo yung limang taon na kasama mo siya.

“pwede ba kitang yakapin? kahit sa huling pagkakataon.” tanong ng binata.

imbis na sumagot ay tumakbo ka palapit kay jaemin at saka ito niyakap nang mahigpit. agad ka namang niyakap pabalik ni jaemin. mas lalo kang nanghina nang marinig itong umiyak sa balikat mo. naging triple ang sakit na nararamdaman mo... dahil ang unang beses na umiyak si jaemin sayo ay noong sinagot mo siya. ibang iba ang dahilan ng pagtangis niya ngayon. damang dama mo ang sakit sa hikbi ng binata.

habang si jisung, ibang ideya ang nakuha. nakaupo ito sa loob ng sasakyan niya sa malayo habang pinapanood kayong dalawa. simula pa lang naman ng laban alam na ni jisung na si jaemin pa rin.

dahil si jaemin naman talaga. it was him even from the very start at wala siyang laban.

habang pinapanood kayo ni jisung, ang hindi niya alam ay may nanonood rin sa kaniyang umiyak.

haechan is crying with him.

Hello, ilang araw ako walang post kasi naglakwatsa ako hahaha. Anyways eto ilan sa mga food that I tried.

Beef Caldereta, Inihaw na Liempo, and Seafood Platter - had these during my 3D2N stay. Keri naman pero must say super expensive ang food sa beach huhu bat ganon? Also hindi ko inubos yung seafood platter, 9 po kaming kumain nyan haha.

Eto naman tocilog and tapsilog, complimentary breakfast in my accommodation. Medyo bitin pero kinape ko na lang, mahal kasi ng food kung kakain pa ko breakfast sa labas.

[clambuoyance]

canadian here, the only difference i can think of for jollibee menus is the fact that we dont have tosilog/tapsilog here and it makes me SO MAD. i visited CA once and they had it on their breakfast menu but we just. dont have it anywhere ive visited in canada 🧍

yeah im going to assume it was more about there not being more classic dishes which is so sad. i am so sorry for u 😔🙏

SUMMER ESCAPE

"A good food is equals to a good mood"

A trip will not end without savoring a food or a delicacy that a specific place serves. Then here comes the rise of food travel, which builds a very exciting and flavorful adventure. During summer time in the Philippines, one of the most popular and always sought-after desserts by Filipinos is the famous "halo-halo," a dessert that consists of different kinds of ingredients, shaved ice and milk, and sometimes comes with ice cream or leche flan on top. A unique Filipino delicacy that could turn your summer into a cool one. As far as I remember, it is called "Halo-Halo" because of the ingredients and the way of eating it. For you to savor it and the true flavor of it, you need to mix all the ingredients in a cup with a spoon and mix them until well combined.

There are several famous places in the Philippines that serve Halo-Halo; one of these is the famous Digman store that is located in Bacoor, Cavite. They serve a flavorful type of halo-halo that consists of twelve (12) ingredients: sweet corn, sweet beans, gulaman in two (2) varieties, sweetened sliced banana, sweetened coconut meat, kaong, sago, nata de coco, black beans, leche flan, and ube, which are all home-made excluding the milk and the ice. They offer regular halo-halo which cost a hundred pesos and special halo-halo, that comes with an ice cream and leche flan on top for a hundred and ten pesos. Aside from this, one of their specialties is their home-made siopao for only 30 pesos, which comes in only one flavor. My visit to Digman won't be complete if I do not try these specials on their menu, so I purchase each one and have a mouthful of it. I could really say that there's something in their halo-halo that's different from the typical one that you can buy anywhere. It is way creamier and it has just the right amount of sweetness, plus it is really amazing because it consists of twelve home-made ingredients, which have been done for almost how many years since the day the business started way back in the 1930's. That was the recipe of Raymunda Ugalde-Toledo, also known as Aling Raymunda, the mother of the three (3) owners of Digman stores. As for their famous home-made siopao, at first bite, you can already say that it is home-made because of its dough and the meat inside, you can taste the flavor of home made food. It is not bad because there are a lot of fillings, and the sauce is really crazy, which adds flavor to the siopao itself. It has come to my knowledge that both the siopao and its sauce are home-made. There are a lot in their menu aside from these two specialties like Mais con yelo, empanada, pancit, tapsilog, chicken mami, BBQ, and more.

Halo-halo is something special to every Filipino; it is our true food to escape the hot weather and cool ourselves. It is way simple, but it holds a lot of stories; it shows different colors and backgrounds; and it feels happiness and contentment. Food that will cool your whole existence and answer your cravings this summer. A cool escape in the summer which can give you a refreshing vibe. "Halo-halo," the summer food escape and the taste of Filipinos.

[astolary]

hello! Its me again, the one who asked if you wrote for Neon, anyways my request might be too specific so feel free to ignore it but here it is!! vvv

So Neon has a crush on reader and wants to ask reader out on a date but she (neon) doesnt know what exactly to do so she asks reader about their ideal dream date and reader just tells her. (maybe something like a park or arcade date?? Anything outsidey!) So neon plans just that!

But heres the twist! Reader also likes Neon back and got excited when neon asked them about the date thing, but neon kinda ends up going with jett somewhere (not on the date!) And reader misunderstands Neon for liking Jett. Then reader ends up getting pretty distanced from Neon days before the planned date and neon gets concerned and basically straight up asks her whats wrong and they reader tells and neon understands then confesses and overall just vv fluffy!

Again, if you dont wanna write this, i completely 100% understand, we all have our limits and i wish to respect yours! Tho if u do write this, then tysm! :DDD

𝟕 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 .

( Synopsis ) It stemmed from a misunderstanding.

( Author's Note ) Tysm for your consideration anon 🥺🥺 And no, it's completely fine it's specific! Although, I kind of went through the Angst to Fluff route since I can't see the whole thing being fluffy ykyk hehe

There's the Cypher and Killjoy father-daughter headcanon in here where they watch feeds together from Cypher's cameras so if anyone can remember who made it please tell me in the comments so I can tag them for the idea 😭

( Pairing ) Neon x GN! Reader

( Content Warnings ) Cursing, misunderstandings, fighting with Reyna in the last bits cause she's your mentor.

( Word Count ) 1.2k words // EDITED! 

Imagine! Neon eating tapsilog beside you inside the confinements of your room after training sessions with Reyna. (Brimstone would remind the two of you about your diets, but he can't stop you guys.) Laughing at jokes, sharing memories about when you were both younger, only to cringe afterward.

That time Neon's voice cracked audibly in the speakers while she was leading her batch in singing the school song. Or what about the time you were using the car window as a mirror in the parking lot, only to realize someone was waving at you from inside the car?

Imagine! A moment of silence ensues as you put a hand up to signal, wait— let me chew my food. Neon would suddenly admire you, the way the light from the ceilings shone down onto you perfectly, the cute marks on your face revealed for her to see. You made her heart beat faster than the speed of her sit-ups, sweet chills running down her spine faster than her jumping jacks. Her Lola and 'Ma were right, experiencing romantic love is such a kilig feeling.

Imagine! Neon begging The Empress herself to let the both of you skip training for just a week. The Filipino embraced her feelings and decided to act on them. Now, or never.

"Sige na! Just for one week! Please please please please please—"

"—no." Reyna would comically answer. She knew exactly what Neon was begging from her. Would she say yes easily? Of course not. Where was the fun in that? "10 more laps around headquarters, indoors and outdoors."

"TANGINA!"

Imagine! 7 days before the date: Neon celebrating to herself in the middle of the cafeteria after hellish training, unaware of Cypher and Killjoy watching her through a camera, cheering along with her. She got the one-week break, Reyna threatened negotiated with Brimstone about the small vacation. Neon finally has the time to plan a date, then surprise you with it... but this was her first date. How do you plan a date?

Imagine! 6 days before the date: Neon asked you about your ideal couple outing, only to find out you were a sucker for romance books. A picnic outside with no one disturbing the couple— your favorite scene in the book. You excitedly squealed and shoved the chapter in her face, ranting about how much you wanted to live that moment out with your future lover. She'll be the one to bring out the scenes from the book to life for you— starting with this.

Imagine! 5 days before the date: Neon had everything set and was picking up your favorite flowers, only to run into Jett there as well.

"Hey Neon!"

Neon jumped in place, not expecting her best friend + one-sided rival to be there. She calmed herself down, it wasn't you, it wasn't you. The surprise wasn't ruined.

"What are you doing here?" Jett and Neon asked at the same time. They paused, made eye contact, and laughed at their small reunion.

"What's up? I never knew you were one for flowers." Neon hid the bouquet she picked up behind her back, hoping Jett wouldn't notice it.

"Nahhh, I was just picking up flowers for Yoru since I, you know, interrupted his kiss with—"

"Kiss?!"

"Yes! God, it was so embarrassing. I swear I was only gonna go to the back of the gym since I accidentally threw my knives back there, only to find him lying on top of—"

"Ok, ok, too much information stop."

Imagine! 5 days before the date: You were going to buy a fresh pot of your favorite flowers to grow for your room, your mood bursting like a rainbow through the rain. A frog leaping out of the water to a lily pad; A whale spouting water from the great oceans; you haven't felt this joyous in years. You weren't oblivious, there were harbored feelings between you and Neon fluttering around like butterflies when you both shared a grin. Did she have feelings for you as well? There was a chance she did. The 1% became 99.99%; a hair of hope became a full-grown wig— if, erm, that made sense. You looked through the windows to check if there were potted plants in stock,

only to find the love of your life hiding the last stock of your favorite flowers behind you, standing in front of Jett.

Imagine! 4 days before the date: The scene fresh in your mind was playing like a replay on Spotify; a loop on YouTube; a broken record. They were all playing the same music as well, Top 10 songs to cry to! Was catching Neon staring at you while you rambled an illusion? Were you just a tad bit ignorant about the 0.1% chance, the strand of hair that fell from the wig: she may not have a crush on you too?

Imagine! 3 days before the date: You ignored Neon inviting you for Jollibee breakfast, throwing her hand away from your shoulder when she thought you were just playing around. You didn't miss the way she voiced her confusion, but you didn't turn back. You didn't miss how Cypher and Killjoy were glancing sadly at your figure, but you didn't voice out how you noticed them. You didn't miss how Brimstone gave a confuzzled look towards you, wondering why you were eating a salad for breakfast. And most especially, you didn't miss how Jett was bouncing her legs up and down under the table, hair flying all over the place while she aggressively pushed the buttons on her keyboard with a huge smile plastered on her face.

Neon was going to tell you about how she successfully asked Jett out, wasn't she? Neon was going to thank you and all. Cypher was gonna let you see the funny blurry pictures he has of everybody, and Killjoy was probably gonna try and comfort you by letting you draw faces on her bots. Out of pity, most likely. Brimstone, the ever old man he is, was going to ask why you were eating alone. Unintentionally scarring you more.

Imagine! 2 days before the date: Reyna aimed for a punch on your stomach, but you saw this move plenty of times. You weaved around and grabbed her wrist, more aggression on your grip. You attempted to throw her over you, only for your mentor to grab your left shoulder and forearm, twisting it painfully behind you. Crack!

"As much as your anger delights me, I'm afraid that imaginative mind of yours is breaking hearts everywhere you go. Not that I'm against it, of course, but you are so pitiful even I slightly pity you." She whispered to your ear, freeing you from her grasp. You let out a painful groan, rolling your shoulders up and down. "Unfortunately, Neon is on a mission today. Talk it out tomorrow. I missed my date because of you, and I thought we were having a one-week vacation!"

↷ Imagine! The day before the date: The both of you were locked in Neon's room this time, Jett faintly screaming in the distance: "My redemption matchmaker era! Now, explain!" Then promptly trapped you both in with the keys she stole from 'Brimmy's' office.

Neon's jaw dropped at the explanation you gave her, head swirling in so much confusion, and all she could say was:

"I, ano— (Name), you’re the one I love."

Neon spoke while cupping your face in her warm hands.

....huh?
