Since 2012 I’ve been traveling through various islands of the Philippines as a full-time Expat and spent 1999 living in Vietnam.
Share with me my ongoing adventures of life in the Philippines. Hopefully you find my observations helpful in your own adventures.

Full Fajitas Recipe…
(2) large chicken breasts (not sliced)
(3) tablespoons vinegar
(1/4 cup) of olive oil
oregano, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, salt
Place the boneless chicken (whole) breasts into a clean, plastic bag.
Mix the above vinegar and spices in a cup, add just a small amount of water to stir it into a marinade.
Pour the marinade into the bag, onto the chicken… work the marinade all over the chicken. let sit for at least 30-minutes.
Slice into long lengths… (1) white onion, 6 cloves of garlic, 1 red and 1 green (or yellow) bell peppers, and tiny chinese peppers if you have them handy.
dice 1/2 of a carrot into 1/2″ cubes.
in a pan, add some olive oil, bring to a medium heat. add the whole chicken breasts along with the diced carrot. cover and cook on low to medium heat for 8-minutes. then flip over the chicken and cook another 8-minutes covered with a lid.
remove chicken with tongs onto a cutting board.
add the peppers, onion, etc. to the pan at high heat. add a small amount of water to evenly distribute the heat. shake and cook at high temp. singe the onions and peppers well.
dice the chicken breasts into strips and add to the cooked onions, peppers. add about 4 tablespoons of fresh hot sauce. stir.
reduce heat (uncovered) and keep at low-heat for about 3-minutes and serve.
Chingado Reekay!! All that good cooking and where’s my Plato?
Any good Mexican food restaurants in the Philippines?
Cook on the grill
Reminds me of Corpus Christi other than the carrots. Those look like true Jalapeños. I think the little hot ones you were talking about are chili piquins, and they will fire you up.
Can you get sour cream in the mall there?

I just ate breakfast and mouth my is watering watching this.
One of the things I miss from back in Detroit is the Mexican food area in the southwest area, chicken fajitas is a big favorite of mine, especially with lots of white onions, green peppers and tomato chunks.
Mozzarella cheese helps
And finally the tortilla to make burritos
Do you cook peppers with the seeds in?
Nice
