Whatever my mood, craves, inspiration, and goal is...that's what I would cook. I love introducing various cuisines for my family such as German, Filipino, Italian, Middle-Eastern, French, Latin, Asian, etc. Notes for the thai chili butter sauce. I was suppose to add "I feel privileged to get this recipe from our local seafood restaurant and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did." Lumpia's and shanghai's is a must on every event/holiday. It is usually made by my mom and grandma. Recently, my side of the family request for my bibingka cassava cake or my chewy bibingka (almost like mochi). My time consuming "Shrimp Lumpia"; I've also had success making my husband's childhood favorite main dish which is "Kase Knephla" aka cheese buttons. It's basically a large German ravioli. His grandmother (moms side) used to make those for him. When I cooked Thanksgiving for the first time (just the 3 of us). I was so thrilled about my walnut streusel apple pie being assembled. It was so pretty until I dropped it! Boooo!
