Another reason is, I love any number that ends with 8, I feel like I will be more swerte this coming year. Feel mo din ba na mas magiging swerte ka sa 2018? Or naghahanap ka ng mga Pampaswerte sa 2018? Ano ba ang dapat gawin for New Year para mas maging swerte?

Pampaswerte sa 2018: New Year Tradition For Luck

13 Round fruits Maglagay ng mga bilog bilog na prutas sa lamesa kung saan gagawin ang handaan para sa New Year’s eve. Why 13? It represents every month of the year plus 1 more month, giving you more than what you need for. Bakit daw bilog? Because it represents endless blessings. Mga example ng bilog na prutas:

Pakwan
Apple
Pears
Green Pears
Ponkan
Dalanghita
Melon
Grapes
Pomelo
Green Apple
Chico
Green Grapes
Kiat Kiat
round papaya
round guava
atis
Kaymito
Lychee

Aside from fruits, maswerte din na maglagay ng chocolates at coins sa lamesa.

Coins. Pagdating ng 12 midnight, maghagis ng barya sa loob ng bahay, usually ginagawa ito sa sala or kung saan ang pasukan ng bahay. Magtago din ng mga barya sa buong bahay pero ilagay ito kung saan madali ito makita.

Loud Sound and music. Pagdating ng 12 midnight mag ingay ng mag ingay para itaboy ang malas. Sabayan ito ng patugtog ng masasayang kanta to welcome swerte.

Lights. Dapat bukas lahat ng ilaw sa bahay mo pagsapit ng alas dose. Lahat ng ilaw pati sa banyo o kusina o garahe, basta dapat lahat ng ilaw ay nakabukas.

Food for New Year’s Eve. Ano ba ang swerteng handa for New Year’s Eve? Para mas maging swerte pa ang taon mo, maghain ka ng isdang malaki for New Year’s Eve (fish suggestions recipe). Pwede din naman ang karne o baka pero huwag na huwag ka daw maghahain ng manok at crab. Magiging isang kahig isang tuka ka daw pagh naghain ka ng manok for New Year’s Eve. Gagapang ka naman daw sa hirap pag crab. Maganda din na maghain ng pansit o kahit anong noodles for long life. Maganda din daw na may handa na malagkit gaya ng biko.

Clothes to wear. Ayon sa matatanda, maswerte magsuot ng polka dots pag New Year. Pwede ka din magsuot ng mga lucky colors for 2018 like green, black or blue. Basta kahit ano pa ang suot mo, siguraduhin mo na may lamang pera ang bulsa mo.

Rice, Salt, Sugar, Water, and Coffee. Dapat pagsapit ng New Year puno ang lagayan mo ng tubig, kape, asukal, asin at bigas.

We usually practice most of the traditions listed here. I can say na maswerte talaga ang taon ko every year. Of course hindi lang naman reason yung mga Pampaswerte sa 2018 para maging maswerte taon mo, hard work din mga guys at samahan ng dasal at pagiging mabait sa ibang tao.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Mas masarap sana kung ang Lechon Kawali or Crispy Pata eh mabilis lang lutuin. Ready To Cook Crispy Pata Or Ready To Cook Lechon Kawali nasan na kayo?!?

Nasa Monterey Meatshops lang pala. Mga momshies, may I present to you, a Noche Buena Food Idea that I am super thankful I discovered, Purefoods Heat and Eat Crispy Pata and Purefoods Heat and Eat Lechon Kawali

I know you have a lot of questions and I am going to answer all that.

1. Where to buy Purefoods Heat and Eat Lechon Kawali & Purefoods Heat and Eat Crispy Pata?

Purefoods Heat and Eat Crispy Pata & Purefoods Heat and Eat Lechon Kawali is now available in all Monterey Meatshops. It is also available in major supermarkets in Luzon and can be found in the NATIVE SECTION.

3. How to heat Purefoods Heat and Eat Crispy Pata & Purefoods Heat and Eat Lechon Kawali?

There are two ways to reheat it, you can pan fry or use Turbo, reheating time is 20+ minutes.

My recent experience with frying is not so good. Natalsikan ako ng mantika eh hehehe, so I opted for Turbo. Atsaka, turbo is so great, walang mantika na kailangan. I just need to turn it on and leave it there. So yun na nga. I cooked my Purefoods Heat and Eat Crispy Pata & Purefoods Heat and Eat Lechon Kawali using my turbo.

It says in the packaging that for Turbo, Cripsy Pata is 40 minutes while Lechon Kawali is only 20 minutes. Sa experience ko, inabot ng 30 minutes ang lechon kawali before niya na achieve yung gusto kong itsura. The Crispy Pata took about 50 minutes and binaligtad ko sya nung luto at crispy na yung ibabaw.

Yung turbo na nabili ko kasya ang isang Crispy Pata at dalawang lechon kawali so sabay ko na sinalang.

Purefoods Heat and Eat Review

Let me just rave for a minute how genius this product it. OM MY GOODNESS! OH MY GOODNESS!!!

Crispy Pata in less than an hour? Like, seriously? Yes, seriously, it’s a ready to cook crispy pata. If you can’t relate to how I feel, you haven’t tried cooking Crispy Pata and you do not know how tedious to prepare this. Let me explain, to enure that your Crispy Pata is crispy on the outside and cooked and tender in the inside, you have to pre cooked it for about an hour (depends on the size). Pre cook pa lang yan ha, tantyahan pa sa oras. And then you need to let it cool. Hindi pwedeng pagkalaga, prito agad, mas malutong kung malamig na. Abutin ka mga 3 hours before ka makaluto ng napakasarap na Crispy Pata. Ngarag ka pa dahil binabantayan mo

With Purefoods Heat and Eat, siguradong sarap lutong! Anytime! All the time. Eh kase di ba, prep time is less than an hour. That’s a lot of time na mase save mo. Instead of being in the kitchen for hours, with Purefoods Heat and Eat, minutes lang. Tapos if you are going to use trubo pa like what I did, chilax chilax ka na lang.

How about the taste?

Ay panalo! Saktong sakto ang lasa, hindi maalat, hindi maanta. Malutong siya noon naluto and the inside is really tender. Hindi matigas at mahirap nguyain. Perfection!

It’s best paired with sukatoyo saue. This is the best timpla that’s perfect for your Lechon Kawali and Crispy Pata

Crispy Pata and Lechon Kawali Sawsawan recipe:

1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup toyo
5 tsp sugar
1 tsp pepper
sili (depends on your hotness level)
1/4 cup finely chopped sibuyas

I highly recommend Purefoods Heat and Eat, lalo na ngayon Noche Buena. Ang daming oras mo (at pagod mo) ang mase save dito. Sa dami ng lulutuin at ihahanda this Christmas (and also New Year), life saver ang Purefoods Heat and Eat. Be sarap lutong updated sa Facebook by following Purefoods Heat and Eat Facebook Page.
