Macaroni Salad
Christmas is weeks away and I can smell it. You will have numerous gatherings and parties by next month. You will most likely find macaroni salad in either Christmas parties or Noche Buena (click here for more details about Noche Buena). Here's my version of macaroni salad...
Ingredients
1 package elbow macaroni (cooked according to package instructions)
1 cup chicken (boiled and shredded)
5 slices ham
1 can/pouch pineapple tidbits or chunks
2 tbsp pickle relish
1 cup cheddar cheese (cubed)
1-2 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice
1-2 cups mayonnaise
salt
pepper
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.
Serve and enjoy.
Other suggested ingredients:
Bell pepper (chopped)
Carrots (chopped)
Raisins
Apples (cubed)
Walnuts
Celery
Hard boiled eggs
If in case you forget to cool the macaroni, you can just shock them by placing it in a bowl of ice water for a few seconds. This is best eaten right away because this is perishable. There are many variations for macaroni salad, depending on each one's preference. This is the perfect time to give this recipe a try. Good luck!

Korean grill @ Bulgogi Brothers
Yey to dinner at Bulgogi Brothers! Since its opening, this place was always packed. Must be good there... so I thought. Out of curiosity, Mom and I ate their some time last year. True enough... we left happy. Now we know why this place is packed all the time. I love their modern and clean ambience and the friendly and accommodating staff. For the K-Pop fanatics, you will enjoy it here because they have a big screen showing concerts of some of the most popular K-Pop stars.
There is a brief description of Bulgogi in the place mats.
Appetizer: corn, sweet potato and quail egg
condiments
Their signature salad
Premium boneless short ribs
Couldn't wait to get grilling!
Their sauces
Bulgogi Bibimbap
Sogogi Japche
Love the Barley tea! It tastes like cereal and honey.
Their lemonade was refreshing.
I was surprised with the appetizer because I was expecting a long pile of vegetables like in other Korean restaurants. Anyhow, it was all good! Korean ice creams are available here too.

Dimsum lunch @ Passion
