Seafood Lunch with Chef Ron

My husband and I dine out a lot but, there are times that we just love to hang out at home and just enjoy cooking. My husband was a cook in the army for more than a decade. That was when he was assigned in Germany primarily for the general and his family. I admit that he is a good cook but, when I cook for him, he loves it always especially the food with gravy.

Here's my lunch for the day. A baked salmon fish and an onion-lime shrimp. Let's chow!

Shrimp Sinigang

We have shrimps, vegetables and sinigang mix so; it's time to put them together. Yayyy, I am so famished after painting 3 doors in our home office. Actually, my hubby was the one using the roller and I did all the trimmings. I need something to fill me up! Sinigang and a fresh from the rice cooker steamed rice, all I need for now.It is a rainy Monday here and soup like "sinigang sa sampaloc" can fill me up good. let's chow everyone!

Fine Dining at Red Lobster

Sea foods. When I crave for one, Red Lobster is the answer. Here is the tender and juicy Garlic Shrimp Scampi which is oven-broiled in garlic butter sauce.
This platter has Farm-Raised Catfish in golden-fried, shrimp scampi and delicious scallops with wild rice pillaf.
the Bahama Mama which is a specialty drink...Fresh, crisp romaine lettuce tossed with Caesar dressing
...more salads......my favorite scallops...

Remember, stay healthy for 2012. Have a blessed new year everyone.

Seafood Galore

We went to the shrimpboats at the back of Hard Rock Biloxi and bought 20lbs of jumbo shrimps for $4/lb to give to friends back to Florida. The price of small shrimps in Orlando is $9/lb just like the picture below. What we have is really bigger than this.

This shrimp is small size. It is usually priced as $2/lb but, we wanted a jumbo so, that's what we got.
My husband ate the crab meat which I am not a fan of. I was actually looking for crawfish but, this is not it's season. So, no one sells crawfish at this time.
This is the blue crab which is a famous catch along the Gulf Coast. They are so beautiful and big too. If it is a crab season, you can catch it easy.
Well, the house smells like shrimps now. Let's chow everyone!

Green Mango with Spicy Shrimp Fry

Here I am again craving for something out of the ordinary. Chocolates, pastries, ice creams and cakes are the ordinary food that you can just grab in the grocery here. But, I am not a big fan of these "sweet tooth" faves even though these "yummylicious foodies" are very affordable here. It's just like buying a "bananacue" in the "sari-sari" stores. But, since I am not in PI, craving for "Pinoy" foodie like the green mango is hard to find and I can only buy "uyap" in the Asian store. Of course it's different if you live in California where you can buy everything your tastebuds desire. Anyway, I was able to buy the green mango at PUBLIX but, it's a product from Mexico.I really thought that it's sour but, after dipping a big slice of green mango to a spicy "uyap" (drooling), OhEmGeeee...so yummy, LOL!

Now, I still crave for more! I hope this variety of mango is still there tomorrow.

Sushi at Chaya in San Fran

I had the privileged of visiting San Francisco, California and meet up a friend who I haven't seen for so many years. His father gave him a $100 GC of Chaya Brasserie located nearby the Bay Bridge of San Francisco. This restaurant is famous in Japan and France for the casual ambiance of Japan's hospitality nature. We dine in the main dining area and it was crowded but cozy. If you happen to visit this restaurant, this place has the right location to watch the sunset by the Bay Bridge.I can't remember the name of this entree' but, this restaurant is best known for sushi and all 6 of us ordered sushi food.We stayed for two days only but, there's so much to see in this place. I really love to visit San Francisco again and enjoy a wonderful dinner at Chaya.

Sweet and Sour

Just a thought of sharing one food that I missed a lot, sweet and sour. While working in the casino in Mississippi, our food is FREE. We have an employee canteen and we can order hot food because we have our own chefs. By the way, the minimum wage in that casino is $9.00 per hour but here in Florida, it's a lot lower ----> $7.75. Pretty sad huh?

Anyway, back to food----> yeah, in the casino where I worked for almost 2 years, food is FREE. They also gave us a huge turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Coffee, ice-cream, cakes and sodas are FREE anytime. I guess, here in Florida, everything is not. Here is my entry for Yummy Sunday, check it out and join us.

Dinner at Rusty's Seafood

I snagged this photo from the Website of Rusty's Seafood and Oyster's Bar because I can't find the picture that I took from this place. This is our favorite hang out restaurant in Port Canaveral Florida for two reasons: delicious FOOD and good spot to watch the cruise ship off to it's destination.

We invited one of our closest friend with us and we had our sumptuous dinner in this place. Rusty's always have great crowd mostly hanging out for food who also enjoy the live music at the waterfront deck. Hubby and I loves to sit by the window facing the waterfront just to watch the cruise ship. Hubby ordered his favorite raw oysters from Rusty's famous Buried Treasures menu. The picture below is not the actual oysters from Rusty's. Their serving is way better looking and nicely served at the top of cold ice to preserved it's freshness.

I ordered "arrr famous encrusted mahi-mahi" served with coleslaw and fries. Because it was so delicious, I devour the food without taking a snap shot of it :-) There you go hahaha. Anyway, if you happen to visit Port Canaveral for a cruising trip to Bahamas or Caribbean, take your time to wander in this area. You will love the restaurants in this place but, do visit Rusty's first. Happy Sunday everyone!

Grilled Chicken and Shrimp Scampi

Almost everyday, hubby and I go out for lunch or dinner. We love Italian, Chinese and Seafood Restaurants, RED LOBSTER is one of the many places that we love to visit to savor and enjoy the good food. Isn't it delicious by just looking at this food? I ordered shrimp scampi and grilled chicken with rice pilaf. Did you know that their new England clam chowder soup is truly delicious? I am drooling of this yumminess now!
