So, it's been a while...

So, it has been well over a year since I wrote my first post for this blog.  My original intentions for this blog were to explore Filipino Foods' connection to Spanish Food/Culture.  But it seems that I never got around to writing even just the 1 article.

My 1st article would have been about the dish "Arroz Caldo".  I had taken pictures of the different steps to make a pot of Arroz Caldo.  But when it came to sitting down to do the research on Arroz Caldo, I just kept putting it off, and it just didn't get written.

This time, I think I'll try a different approach: I'll try writing about other foods that I make at work/home and encounter when I go out.  Hopefully this will lead me back to, my original intentions, Filipino Food.

Even though it's late, i'm suddenly in the mood for writing!  My first food related post shall be about:  Spicy Ahi Tobiko.
So back in March of 2012, our restaurant had a 3 (or 4) course secret menu that, to no surprise, was rarely ordered.  The part I had in this secret menu was in making the appetizer, Spicy Ahi Tobiko.  The idea behind  this appetizer was to have an Ahi tartar served sushi style.  I made sushi-style rice using Jasmine Rice, Seasoned Rice vinegar, and sugar.  I formed that into a small, bite-sized puck shape, and topped it with the Spicy Ahi Tobiko mix:

• Chopped Ahi
• Mayo
• Wasabi Tobiko
• Salt and pepper
• Sriracha
• Green Onions 
• Black Sesame Seeds

In case you were wondering, we stopped using this secret menu once we changed to our Summer menu.  So, as far as I know, I won't get into too much trouble for writing about this.  In case any of you were also wondering, yes I do have pictures of this appetizer:

I personally liked making them nice and spicy, but of course i would've gotten in trouble for it  XP
