Chinese Slang.

Stop focusing on those language barriers! We’re all way more alike than you think.

Wait… If “Fo shizzle, mah nizzle” is a bastardation of “For sheezy, my neezy”… Then does that mean that they’re selling Beef Peezy?

Breakfast With Will Ferrell.

As if Man vs. Wild wasn’t entertaining enough as it is, they had to throw in one of my favorite comedic actors, Will Ferrell!

Now, as a foodie, nothing grabs my attention from this show more than the crazy ass stuff they eat! Lizards, snakes, bugs, feces… sometimes with a side of urine… Yes. I know. NOT delicious. More like disgusting… BUT… Isn’t it all just really fascinating?

Let’s challenge some foodies to head out into the wilderness and try to make a gourmet meal out of what they find! OooOooOoo… now THAT’s a reality TV show.  (Copyrighted by TrixiePixieStix.)

Yumyumyum.

The Swine Flu Epidemic Continues.

Peanut Brittle = Delicious.

Swine = Delicious.

Peanut Brittle + Swine = THIS.

Alas, I have yet to try it! You’d think it would work out, right? I mean… Wouldn’t it be similar to having maple syrup clinging to your bacon when you have breakfast? The whole salty & sweet thing is in now.

Reading up on EatMeDaily’s review though… It was apparently too Bacon-ey. I didn’t know that was possible! So sad…

But for those of you who actually crave for an overdose on bacon flavor… You should do it! Followed by a shot of that damn Bakon Vodka!

If Delicious Were Liquified.

Thanks to Enrique Enfuego of Rocksoft for sharing this deliciousness to the world.

“Strawberry Starburst in a bottle” you say?? Shiiieeeet… I would eat a steak of strawberry starburst with a side of mashed strawberry bursts on the side. I am SO looking out for this. Maybe I’ll buy some from Fitz’s.

I wonder what it’d be like mixed with that Bakon Vodka? Ha! Alright, alright… Something more ideal. Like Godiva Chocolate liqueur. Chocolate dipped strawberries… Ohhhhhh……

Trixie.

Would You Like Some Eggs and a Glass of Bakon?

Bacon flavored Vodka, that is! For you lushes out there… What better way to start the morning than with a glass of vodka instead of your average glass of OJ.

Start your day right.

Salpi-cow!

So, my family doesn’t just gorge out on restaurant food, ok? We can fyucking cook, yo!

Let me share a not-so-secret dish.

Beef Salpicao is a Spanish favorite. Usually consisting of cooking chunks of beef in Worcestershire sauce and garlic, this recipe made its way to the Philippines during the Spanish colonization.

We usually have it for breakfast. And then Lunch. And dinner. HA! (So, make a lot!)

Beef Salpicao

• Chunks of beef (raw, but cooked leftover beef works too!)
• Olive Oil
• Minced garlic (the more the merrier)
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Maggi Seasoning Sauce
• Salt & Pepper
• Butter

(As you should know by now, most of my recipes are done by taste. So, I apologize for the lack of measurements!)

1. Season the chunks of beef with salt and pepper.
2. Briefly sautée the garlic in the olive oil.
3. Add the chunks of beef and cook till brown on all sides. Or if using leftover cooked meat, just heat it up a bit in the pan.
4. Add the Worcestershire sauce and Maggi/Knorr seasoning to taste. (Center of meat will continue to cook during this process).
5. Finish off with butter.
6. Serve with rice or garlic rice. Possibly a fried egg as well.

Ninja Restaurant.

During my New York food trip, there was one place that my cousin Quito had suggested we check out called Ninja.

This video will explain why we were willing to pass up an evening of drinks for it.

Alas… By the end of the night, I was pretty damn disappointed with Ninja. Now, I hadn’t seen this video beforehand, and dining at Ninja is definitely an experience worth having. I mean, how often do you get to enter a secret passage just to get to your table? The restaurant was designed with stone walls and individual booths per table. Ninjas with swords stealthily maneuvered their way around the restaurant. Upon my arrival at my table, I had decided that Ninja was my favorite restaurant ever.

And there goes Trix with her tendency to jump to conclusions.

First off, we were handed prefixed menus without informing us that there was an  a la carte menu that served dishes other than sushi. So, for my cousin and my nephew who don’t eat seafood, it seemed like the outrageously priced prefixed menus were the way to go for us that night.

The appetizers started off well. I had the “Bombshell” which was a salad topped with lobster and scallop sashimi followed by an assortment of the chef’s nigiri sushi selection. We were off to a fresh start. I stuck to my decision that Ninja was the best restaurant ever. Then I was served the “Red Pond,” which was described as “fried Chilean sea bass in a bloody spicy pond“. Yeah… I don’t know! It sounded so crazy I had to try it! Which was an unfortunate decision… Because it REALLY didn’t taste very good. There was no way for me to appreciate the tenderness of the sea bass with it being battered and fried, and the bloody spicy pond? It tasted like a thick, red ponzu sauce with grated radish-like consistency, which also kept me from enjoying what I would have expected to be a fresh cut of tender and light sea bass.

Then came the rib-eye steak. A fat hunk of meat, which wasn’t even close to the kind of juiciness that I’d expect from the price this freakin’ meal was. Although I gotta admit… It was one LARGE piece of meat. Which got me thinking… It seemed as though the money went to the size of the meal as opposed to the quality of it. That works for some people. However, I don’t hit up a reputable restaurant for half-assed deliciousness. Give me quality, baby!

Not to mention… Our server and bus boy weren’t the most enthusiastic of the bunch. However, towards the end, another bus boy came to serve us our dessert and had a lot more commitment to his ninja character.

And my dessert, which was a dark chocolate ganache ninja star, may not have been exceptional, but was definitely delicious enough to end the evening on a good note.

Moral of the story is: Worth the experience, order from the  a la carte menu, and don’t expect the food to be out of this world.

PS. It was too dark for photos. Sorry!

Snap & Dine!

Wow. This is hilarious! I don’t really know if this makes a picnic anymore “classy”. First off, you’re gonna have to go through the twisting and breaking off of the utensils from these kits. Which is going:

1. To lead to you spilling your food all over the ground
2. To be more awkward than it is romantic
3. To end up with a fork in someone’s eye
4. To not being able to detach the utensils

But it’s still pretty damn hilarious!

Ready to Snap and Dine?
