Ingredients:
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, stems removed
1 bunch cilantro, include stems
1/2 cup - 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 Tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 Tablespoon Sriracha sauce

Chop parsley and cilantro. Put in food processor or blender together with the rest of the ingredients except for the olive oil. Mix and add olive oil little by little until you have your desired consistency.

Guacamole Sauce

4 Ripe Avocados
2 Limes, juiced
1 Roma Tomato, diced
1 Small Red Onion, diced
1 Jalapeno, deseeded and diced
1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Kosher Salt to Taste

Take the avocado cut across the center and split in halves. Take the pit out and take the avocado out of shell using a large spoon. Place in a mixing bowl and add juice of lime. Incorporate together using a large spoon to break up the avocado.

Note: I didn't have lime and so I used 2 tablespoons of bottled lime juice.

Salsa

Adapted from: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/restaurant-style-salsa-recipe/index

Ingredients

One can diced tomatoes and mild green chilies
Tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 whole lime, juiced

Directions
Combine the diced tomatoes, tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. 

Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. 

Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

My notes: 

Heat tortilla. Spread each tortilla with guacamole. Layer with meat, chimichurri sauce, salsa, sour cream and lettuce leaves. Roll burrito style.

If jalapeno is not available, use one can diced tomatoes and jalapenos instead of a can of diced tomatoes and chilies for the salsa.

You can also use battered fish instead of roast chicken.

Enjoy.

Comida China de Manila (formerly San Jacinto)

San Jacinto has always been our favorite go to restaurant. Not only is my husband and the owner, Benny, on a first name basis but we were also given discount cards since we are such sukis. We've been going to this restaurant since they opened in this location. Since they changed their name, they are reissuing discount cards again. So when you dine here, ask for a discount card which entitles you to a 10% discount.

Why do we love San Jacinto? They serve very good Filipino Chinese food and we can order it in poquito size. Since we're a family of three, the small size option works really well for us.

Pinsec Pork poquito size at Php 60. This is a good dish to munch on while waiting for the rest of your party.

 Lumpia Shanghai poquito size at Php113. My husband insists that we order this every time we're here. Sometimes, he gives in and lets me order my favorite, lechon macau.

Lo Hon Chay poquito size at Php139. This is the reason why we keep on coming back to this restaurant. They really have the best Lo Hon Chay in town. My son, the carnivore, gobbles this up like it was meat!

Fried Milk poquito size at Php131. Yes, you read it right...Fried Milk! This is like an omelette without the egg yolk with shrimps and liver incorporated in it. It is served on a bed of vermicelli noodles. It has the consistency of Egg Foo Yung. My husband and I like this dish but my son thinks it tastes weird but ok.

Yang Chow small size at Php224. This is excellent.

It's really funny that my son's Chinese friends have never heard of San Jacinto. I suppose it's because the Chinese food that they serve is catered to the Filipino taste. For us, it's just so comfort food. It's Chinese Food, Philippine style.
