When my father cooked this dish for us, I always asked him on what to do. I used to be his assistant during the time when he cook and that is the reason why I learned cooking this dish. My father and mother both loves cooking. But the difference between the two of them is my father is more on cooking different soups either beef, pork, chicken and his special recipe the vegetables just like Bas-oy. And my mother's specialty is more on fried dishes and desserts. Cooking is my greatest weakness before, but now it becomes my strength. I love eating specially homemade foods and I promised to myself that I will become a good chef in our family. I can apply the techniques on how to cook healthy and nutritious food that I learned from my parents. When I have nothing to do, I always insisted that I'd be the one to prepare our food because cooking helps me feel better. The first time I cooked this chicken soup there was a feeling of excitement and relief. When it is already cooked I felt so happy that I made it. In my 21 years of existence I have this realization that it is very important to explore and learn more about cooking tips and techniques. Because cooking can create the feeling of happiness.
