Spicy Wholemeal Pasta and Tuna Salad


hello everyone!

I haven't updated in a while but i have no restaurant posts to write yet 'cause i always forget to bring camera with me. so instead, i'll be posting a recipe for a dish i made just a while ago. This recipe is basic and easy to do. It's fresh but with a spicy kick to it.


Spicy Wholemeal Pasta and Tuna Salad


Ingredients:

250g (half a pack) San Remo Wholemeal Spirals
180g (1 can) Century Tuna - Hot and Spicy
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Cucumber
2 large Tomatoes
3 cloves Garlic
1 small Onion
around 5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 to 1/2 tsp dried Tarragon
1 tsp Lemon zest
Chili Powder, Salt and Pepper to taste

Mince the onion and garlic. Dice the Tomatoes and Cucumber, don't forget to scrape the seeds off these. Shred the carrot.
Cook the pasta until al dente. Try not to overcook. Set aside.
In a pan, saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil. Add drained tuna and tarragon, then the tomatoes, cucumber and carrot. Sprinkle salt, pepper, chili powder and lemon zest. Saute for 1 minute. Mix the pasta in and serve.

Easy, right? you can sprinkle chopped nuts and more chili powder if you like. Tips: don't cook the cucumber too long, you would want them to still be fresh and crisp. You can use any other small pasta, i just used the wholemeal one 'cause it has more fiber, so i guess it's healthier (wink).

I'm no chef, i just like to cook and eat. I hope you try the recipe and give me feedback about it.

Till my next post, +J

Icheon Korean Restaurant

I got interested in everything Korean when i got addicted to K-pop, so now I'm into Korean foods too. haha. carrying on...

Icheon Restaurant is a Korean Restaurant located at 256 Sumulong Hi-way in Antipolo City, Philippines. They open at around 11am, I think, and close around 10pm.

Every time I'd pass by this restaurant, it's always packed with diners, and I can tell why. They have really yummy food. This was the second time I went there. I went with two of my friends and my sister.

They serve numerous kinds of side dishes, and their food serving is huge! so spending P250+ on
one dish is really worth it.

Taken around 9pm, nearing their closing time.


some of their complimentary side dishes


Two of my favorite side dishes:

Cabbage Kimchi


Sweet and Spicy Pusit
the first side dish that always disappear at the table.


And now, on to the main dishes. we ordered six dishes that night, which was a bit too many, coz as I've said, the servings were huge. One serving is good for 3-4 persons already. But we got to take home the left overs so, it really wasn't wasted.


Bi Bim Bap - Php250
(Rice with beef, veggies, egg and spicy sauce)


Jjam-ppong - Php250
(Spicy hot noodle soup with seafood and veggies)


Raw Beef meat

Sesame leaves and Lettuce
twas my first time tasting the sesame leaves. it tasted kinda odd.

Ju Mul Ruk - Php400
(Grilled seasoned meat with sauce)
grilled on our table.


O-Jing-ou Somyun - Php600
(Squid with noodles and spicy sauce)
we got a shock when this dish was served, it was really large!
the serving is good for 8 people. This tasted really good.


Kogi Mandoo - Php400
(Meat Disum)
yummy!

Kimbap - Php300
(Korean Sushi roll)
yummy too!

We didn't order any drinks and just had water instead. Their drinks selection was few, just soft drinks, juices, ginseng tea and the rest were Korean wines/liquor.
I also took pictures of their menu, and i might post it in my next entries if any of you guys would need it.

Till my next post, ciao! +J
