First time to cooked a dish for my Family!

Cooking doesn't like me because I am not a good cook, I only new the basic like frying eggs or anything that can be done easily haha. Whenever there a celebration in our house such as birthdays, christmas, fiesta, new year and others, I only helps them with the preparation of ingredients.

Adobo is a Filipino dish wherein the meat will be marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns and other spices.

Did you know when I was in highschool I cooked adobo and then I burned it haha. But, luckily we are asked to cooked it at home then take a of it and send it to our group chat. I created for my subject which is Technology and Livelihood Education and I was the leader so that's why I did all the job.

Sinampalukang manok is also one of the Filipino's favorites, it is a chicken soup dish with a sour broth.

Anyway, here's what my Sinampalukang Manok that I cooked yesterday haha. I know it wasn't look appetizing but my family loved it and there was no leftover. We don't have young tamarind leaves so I added some string beans instead but is optional though.

I was nervous at first that they might not like it but no, they requested for more rice and they ate a lot. I don't know if they just wanted to makes me feel better and to not hurt my feelings haha. Even though I don't get hurt easily and I am not a cry baby.
