3 eggs beaten
1 cup water
1 cup all purpose flour
1 onion chopped

1. Mix all the ingredients very well, add water if it is too sticky.

2. Spoon a portion then deep fry over medium heat until golden brown then serve.



with spring onion

Caramelized Banana


Nothing beats the flavor of this dessert, you will surely ask for more. Lovely to chew and will give satisfaction if you are really craving for something sweet. It has a similarity to Philippine's banana cue. I love both :D. Here is my style of caramelized banana

Ingredients:
1/2 kilo banana ( any cooking banana, but saba is the best if it is available in your place)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon butter

Procedure:
1. Slice the banana to your desired size then fried it. Set aside.
2. Caramelized the sugar and butter.


3. When it is done pour over the banana, cool a little then serve.

if you want the caramel not too dry you can add a little water, as for me, I want it that way when I can chew the crispy sugar :D

Boiled Squash with Fried Fish

We have some leftover fried fish today and half a kilo of squash in the refrigerator so I decided to use them all in one simple delicious recipe. I chopped 1 onion and put it in a pot with two cups of water and a cup of shredded fried fish. While waiting for it to boil, I peeled the squash and sliced it then wash and set aside.
When the water is boiling I added the squash and a little salt to taste. I covered and let it simmer until done while stirring occasionally. Turn the heat when it is cooked then serve hot.
