I was kind of craving for shawarma minus the meat (what?) so I tried using chicken instead.

Inspired by Jollibee's garlic pepper beef. I was craving for that one morning but I didn't want to eat fast food so I made my own healthier version. 

You might be wondering why I named this one like that. well it kind of resembles pag-ibig: sweet, sour, and bitter, or so my office batch mates told me. hahaha they came up with that name, honestly, since they would always ask what I cooked for lunch. I told them its sweet and sour fish but with ampalaya's bitterness. thus, the name came to be. :)

I usually buy vegetables every time I go to the grocery so thought of trying something new for lunch. I research recipes online then do my take on them. :) paired it up with pesto garlic rice since I had leftover pesto powder.

One of the experiment I came up with the ever-dependable tofu. tofu is really a good buy especially when you're a bit conscious on your meat consumption, it passes as the meat for any dish you'd want to try. (well, in my case, usually.) I also played around with one of my grocery staples; Clara Ole's dressings. the taste turned out generally good, and although it has a peanut taste (fact: im not a fan of them) my taste buds were okay with it.
