Calamares using Camaron Rebosado batter from Idol sa Kusina

While doing laundry this morning, I caught Mudrah at work in the kitchen.  Tagal ko ng di nag-blog ng luto niya ano?!  Anyway, this morning....

Me:  Ano yan?

Mudrah:  Recipe ni Chef Boy Longro sa Show niya sa Channel 11.  Meron din pala siyang show doon.

Me:  Ay talaga!

Mudrah:  "Idol sa kusina" yung show and I picked this recipe up sa FB page niya!

Me:  Ano tawag sa recipe?  While sniffing the aroma of the food being deep fried.

Mudrah:  Camaron Rebusado, kaso alang shrimp eh, merong pusit...so tadaaah....Calamares!

Me: (talking to myself lang)  pwede pala yun.

Mudrah:  Pwede naman, yung batter pareho lang.

Me:  Kunan ko picture ha!  Tagal nako di nagblog ng luto mo eh. (Sabay exit para tapusin ang labada).

After 5 minutes...

Me:  Looks like Orbits donuts ano? (meron pa ba nun?  Parang ala na ako makita sa SM Southmall nun ah).

Anyway, if you want to check out the recipe, go to Idol Sa Kusina's FB page and look for Episode 64,/October 7 (Magical Camaron Rebusado)
