We made our first Tree stump cake for one's special day. There is so much fun and freedom in decorating a cake. The time invested in making the decorations and and developing the recipes for each components is very much worth it once you get to see the finish product. There are plenty more room for improvements and learning but I am so please on how this one turned out.

This cake is with Chocolate sponge, Chocolate Swiss Meringue Icing, Sugar Mushrooms, Shortbread crumbs and Sponge moss. For any enquiries do not hesitate to give me a message. Thank you very much, let's eat! 👨‍🍳🎂🍄🌳❤

For today's lunch we are having Sizzling Sisig. A classic dish of the Philippines loved by many and is best enjoyed with an ice-cold beer. Sisig is originally made with Maskara ng Baboy (Pig's Mask) including the ears and is one of many delicious dishes of the Philippines that uses parts of an animal that would otherwise be discarded in some parts of the world. Ingredients of this delicious dish is listed below, let's eat! 👨‍🍳❤️🐷

Ingredients (5-6 servings)

1kg Pig's ears
2 Bay leaf
2g Whole Black Peppercorn
20g Fresh ginger (thin slice)
300g Onion (chopped) - roughly 2 medium to large onions
200g Chicken liver
100ml Vinegar (add to preference)
2 Lemon juice (add to preference)
Salt and cracked black pepper (add to preference)
2-3 Spring onion (chopped) for serving
10g Fresh chillis (chopped) for serving
Lemon for serving

Intructions

• Clean ears thoroughly removing any hair.

• Boil ears in water for an hour with ginger, bay leaves, whole peppercorn and salt.

• Add in chicken liver with ears for the last 10mins of boiling and then drain.

• Place cooked liver in large mixing bowl and leave to cool.

• Grill boiled pigs ears until slightly scorched (for aroma and flavour)

• Add vinegar and lemon juice into chicken liver and using a fork roughly crush liver until the consistency of a paste.

• Chop grilled pork ears to small pieces and add into the liver paste together with chopped onion.

(Note) The dish at this point is essentially ready for you to enjoy but if you want to elevate the dish flavour follow further instructions below.

• Set a pan (much better if you have a cast iron plate) in medium/high heat, melt butter add in as much Sisig mixture as you want without the garnishes (fresh chillis and spring onion).

•Stir a little make a shallow well in the centre and crack an egg and immediately remove from the heat and topped with garnishes and wedge of lemon and served while still sizzling.

For today's lunch we are having Oyakodon (Chicken and Egg Bowl). Simple yet full of umami flavours from Dashi (Japanese Soup Stock) made from Kombu (Dried Kelp) and Katsuoboshi (Dried Bonito Flakes).

Classic comfort food of Japan, the literal translation of Oyakodon means "parent-and-child rice bowl", egg being the child and the chicken as the parent. Let's eat! 👨‍🍳❤️🥚🐔
