After a late night of drinking… I like to have uncommon things for breakfast, and I know that I will always have the fixin’s for sesame noodles. Be they dressed in just doenjang, thai green curry paste, or depicted below with a peanut/sesame sauce, fried garlic peanuts, and scallions; sesame noodles start off simply with cold rice noodles, sesame oil, and salt. If you can’t get this recipe right… there’s something wrong with you.

Perfect for a hot summer morning, these cold noodles provide a hit of nourishment and is much better than a morning eye-opener. More than likely… you’ll see more posts of sesame noodles in the future.

I had to pick up something for dinner, and I do love to stop off at the Chinese BBQ for a savory delectable to treat myself. Since I had the crispy duck last time, I chose a lovely slab of roast pork, lechon to those of the filipino persuasion. Tender roasted juicy belly pork whose skin has been left on and seared with oil to a crispy char. Think of a really juicy pork chop with a crispy pork-rind edge.

I saw a rather large two pound segment of pork and thought… that should be plenty. I asked the gal behind the counter and asked her to weigh the piece and asked how much it was. Obviously too much for two people, I knew I’d have to ask for it to be cut down. Unfortunately for me, but fortunate for the proprietress, there was construction going on in the vicinity. When I asked that I’d like a little more than half, a grinding cacophony of metal and wood drowned out my voice and all she heard was “more”. Before I could correct her, she slapped the piece of pork she just weighed on the counter and proceeded butcher a second piece of pork. Now my order was twice the size of what I had originally asked for. I don’t know if I was being sympathetic to the small-business owner, but I decided to let it slide. What’s a fat kid to do with two kilos of roast pork? I’d say have a party.
