Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try Mamou . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2. Upon entering the person asked if we had any reservations however, they do except walk as well was seated at the table of our choice. The person had handed us the menu. Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice. Carmina had ordered Beer Battered Fish and Malt Vinegar with choice of pot
Here in our household we have a fixed menu that consist from Monday to Sunday for two weeks a menu of A and B.
Sometimes when you reach the third week of the month you get tired of eating the same old food from the first week.
When you live in a household where the family have medical issues and need to eat on the healthy side and the fixed menu hasn’t been revised to their health issues what you end up doing. The cook ends up thinking of alternative food that can be cooked for her boss.
Sometimes when you cook something other people are not fond of that dish there comes a time people argue over just on what food was cooked that day instead of thinking how hard the cook had put so much passion on her cooking to taste how it taste.
When you live with a household of people it is hard to get any feedback in return and there are times you lose that inspiration to cook because out of your hard labor of love comes complaints from their mouths.
I’ve been there and done that so I know how the cook feels and it is not a pretty site. You learn from their complaints to make your food taste better by using that tool to change the way the taste should taste by making it over again until you reach that right compliment.
Living in this kind of household is not easy life is complicated as it is but since it is your job to cook we have no choice to please our boss without them we wouldn’t have the right income to feed our family and our daily expenses.
Life is a trial and error just like cooking it comes with a lot of practice in all the dishes we cook.
In the next following post there will be new added recipes that Manang V and I will explore to let you know which ones we have approved to share with you.
