Coffee and Siomai with My Own Homemade Chili Garlic - How I Became to Love and Eat Siomai

Hello Hiver's! Good day to everyone.

Who are in here who loves siomai? Raise your hand 😃. Before when I still a teenager. My sister asks me to go to the park to eat siomai. But I always refuse it and sometimes if I like I accompanied her. And she is the one who only eat it. Because I did not like siomai that time. But I try to taste it but I find It taste weird. But my sister always loved to eat siomai.

When I started working. I remember one of my workmates who assigned at night shift. Before the pandemic came. She proudly introduces me to try to taste the siomai that she brought outside in a food stall. That only cost $0.17 for 3pieces of siomai (3pcs/10php) with a sauce. At first I refuse to try it. But she forcing me to try at least one. So that to stop her I follow her order and I try to eat one. As I try I was amazed to the taste of the siomai partner with it sauce. The sauce was like a palapa (sweet and spicy condiments). Which is I about to like it. Until my work schedule is night and I try to buy siomai. Which he only sells from 5pm until it was run of stock. Until I used to buy it always. Which until I became addicted to eat and until now.

Since we have still a siomai at the freezer. I decided to steam it. And since we did not have a chili garlic sauce I decided to cook for a chili garlic. I make a 3in1 coffee to partner with it. To have my snack.

This is a chicken siomai. I just brought it at the supermarket. And I also make toyomansi (soy sauce and calamansi) and I put a little amout of brown sugar. To neutralize the saltness of soy sauce. And the chili garlic who I cook earlier. I love to cook a chili garlic sauce 'coz I want to make it crispy and a darker. Unlike if I buy outside is different from what I want.

I used to do this when I always eat siomai. I always cut to half of siomai so that the sauce will soak inside and chili garlic on top.

And plus a cup of coffee. A 3in1 coffee who is easy to make.

A sweating, happy and satisfying face. ‘Coz the chili garlic I made was so spicy.

Sip of coffee. The day is incomplete without a coffee. I usually drink 2 cups of coffee every day. At the morning and the afternoon.
