Yummy Links for August 1 to 7

Doggie cooking shows, outrageously priced hotdogs, and other online yummies.

Have Dog, Will Cook

Cooking with Dog is not what you think it is.  The dog isn't an ingredient but the host of this Japanese web cooking show.  Cute little toy poodle named Francis narrates the recipes while a lovely Japanese lady does all the cooking on the side.  Why she is never identified in any of the episodes, I don't know.  But the recipes she prepares are quick, easy and lead to delicious results.  Don't know where to start? We suggest the Katsudon or the Gyudon.

World's Most Expensive Hotdog

Would you buy a US $69 (that's  around P 3,170.00) hotdog? New York ice cream parlor Serendipity 3 thinks so and has created the Haute Dog, a luxurious hotdog sandwich that uses  special ingredients that have to be flown in so orders have to be made 24 hours in advance. How special is it? A foot long all beef hotdog grilled in white truffle oil, a salted pretzel bun toasted in white truffle butter, toppings of duck foie gras, black truffles, black truffle dijon mustard, caramelized Vidalia onions and heirloom tomato ketchup. No wonder the price tag. Talk about excess!

The Finer points of Chopsticks

You've finally mastered the use of chopsticks. But are you using them properly? If you've been imitating the hooligans in those martial arts movies, chances are you're not. Just like "po" and "opo", proper chopstick etiquette shows civility. So next time you eat out for Chinese or Japanese, keep them in mind.

There's a word for everything!

Have you found yourself glaring at a parent for giving a child fast food french fries and chicken nuggets? Have you ever looked at another person's shopping cart in scorn because of all the canned and processed food she's buying? And worst of all, do you confront them about it? You are most probably a food scold.

Mad for Ensaymada

Everyone loves a good ensayamada. It's great for breakfast with a cup of piping hot kape barako. It makes for a wonderful merienda paired with tsokolate eh. They even make for great pasalubong or gifts. But do you know where to get the really good ones in the metro? Go on an ensaymada expedition! Visit each place recommended by Spot.ph and share your thoughts.  If you got a little ensaymada secret, do tell!
